Abstract The invention relates to a method (200) and system (100) for creating geo- fenced zones for monitoring movement of mobile devices (106) within a predetermined area, e.g. in a shopping facility, having wireless network coverage. The method involves demarcating (204) a plurality of geo-fenced zones (304) on an electronic representation of the facility and obtaining, using a plurality of wireless access points (WAPs), a location of a mobile device (106) within the facility and mapping the location of the mobile device (106) on the electronic representation (302) of the facility in order to establish whether or not the mobile device (106) is within a geo-fenced zone (304), and, if so, within which geo-fenced zone. Instead of just knowing a device's location, demarcation of specific zones makes it possible to track the device and to derive useful information from its stay or movement through zones by way of data analytics.
