1. A data asset synchronization method comprising:
monitoring location of a mobile device relative to a dead zone geofence boundary volume map including a geofence boundary, a dead zone volume associated with a wireless communication service, and a buffer zone between at least a portion of the geofence boundary and at least a portion of the dead zone volume, the buffer zone defining a zone in which the wireless communication service is available for the mobile device to communicate with a server system;
determining that the mobile device is approaching or crossing the geofence boundary into the buffer zone toward the dead zone volume;
determining at least one data asset that will be needed by the mobile device within the dead zone volume;
automatically transmitting the at least one data asset from the server system to the mobile device via the wireless communication service while the mobile device is within the buffer zone;
determining that the mobile device has subsequently entered the buffer zone from the dead zone volume; and
automatically reconciling offline data stored locally by the mobile device while in the dead zone volume with corresponding data stored on the server system to resynchronize the data stored on the server system.
