Inventory and Warehouse Management Software for Service Teams

Smart Parts Allocation for Field Service Jobs

Technicians arriving on-site without the right parts waste everyone's time. Parts, tools, and materials need to be allocated during job planning so crews show up fully prepared.

Pre-job allocation — assign specific parts, tools, and materials to each job at the planning stage

Mobile confirmation — field crews confirm receipt and record usage directly in the app

Asset tracking — know exactly where each item is and who is responsible for it

Every technician arrives prepared — the right parts, the right tools, no wasted trips.

Eliminate Stockouts and Part Losses in the Field

Running out of critical parts mid-job stops work and frustrates clients. Real-time stock visibility replaces the guesswork of manual spreadsheets and paper logs.

Real-time stock levels — supervisors see current inventory across all locations instantly

Automatic usage tracking — materials consumed on each job are logged automatically

Predictable restocking — consumption data makes reordering proactive instead of reactive

No more stockouts — real-time visibility keeps parts available when and where they're needed.

Real-Time Warehouse Visibility for Field Operations

Expensive tools and equipment sitting idle in one location while another team needs them is a hidden cost. Utilization data reveals where assets are underused.

Utilization monitoring — track how efficiently tools and equipment are used across teams

Asset redistribution — identify underused items and move them where they're needed

Smarter purchasing — buy based on actual consumption data to reduce waste and lower costs

Every asset working at full capacity — smarter distribution and purchasing based on real usage data.

Inventory Accuracy That Keeps Field Crews Moving

From small consumables to expensive equipment, every movement needs a record. Without a chain of custody, losses go unnoticed and accountability disappears.

Complete chain of custody — every item movement recorded from warehouse to job site

No surprise shortages — accurate tracking prevents last-minute supply runs

Higher completion rates — field crews stay moving when parts are always available

Full traceability for every item — no losses, no shortages, no disrupted field work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I track parts and tools assigned to specific technicians?

Yes. Every item is tracked by location — warehouse, vehicle, or technician. You see who has what and when it was issued or returned.

Does Shifton alert me when stock is low?

Yes. Set minimum stock thresholds for any item. When inventory drops below the limit, the system sends an automatic alert.

Can technicians request parts from the field?

Yes. Technicians submit part requests from the Web, iOS, or Android app. Dispatchers see requests in real time and can approve, assign, or schedule delivery.

Is there barcode or QR scanning?

Yes. Use your phone camera to scan barcodes or QR codes for quick check-in, check-out, and inventory lookup.

Can I manage multiple warehouses or van stocks?

Yes. Shifton supports unlimited storage locations — central warehouses, branch offices, and individual vehicle inventories.

Does inventory link to specific jobs?

Yes. Parts used on a job are automatically logged in the work order and deducted from inventory. This flows into invoicing too.

How much does inventory management cost?

Inventory is an additional module priced at $5.00 per employee per month, on top of the Tasks base module. You can try it free for up to 55 days.
