Compressed Air Systems Service Software for Compressor Engineers
Compressors, dryers, receivers and pipework serviced on a plan, with hour meter readings, kits used and leaks found recorded on every visit.
Running hours, not the calendar
A compressor running three shifts reaches its service interval far sooner than one used for a morning. The engineer reads the hour meter on each visit, and that number decides when the next one is due.
Service kits decide the first-time fix
Oil, air filter, oil filter, separator, belts: each model has its kit, and arriving with the wrong one wastes the visit. Kits are also the largest cost on a routine service.
Leak surveys produce a list, not a report
A leak survey finds dozens of small losses around couplings, hoses and drops. Each needs a tag, a location and a size estimate, so the site can fix them or pay you to.
Breakdowns stop the whole factory
When the only compressor trips, production stops. The service company has to see who is free, who holds the part and whether a hire unit is needed.

What compressed air systems service software should cover
A compressed air service business looks after more than compressors. Dryers, filters, receivers, drains and distribution pipework all need servicing, and the customer expects one company to handle the lot. Compressed air systems service software has to hold that whole picture per site: what equipment is there, when each item was last serviced, and what the engineer found.
Shifton Field Service does it through jobs on a board. Each visit names the site and the machines, carries the checklist for each, and comes back with hours, readings, kits used, photos and a signature.
Planning around the customer's shifts
Many factories cannot lose air during production, so services happen at weekends, on changeovers or with a hire unit connected. Booking those windows as fixed jobs, and noting any hire compressor on the job, stops the engineer arriving to find the machine still running. Where a site has a duty and a standby compressor, one can often be serviced while the other carries the load, which is worth writing on the job as well.
Air compressor service software and history
A good service history shows hours at each visit, parts replaced and faults found. When a machine starts failing, that history tells you whether it is worth repairing or time to quote a replacement. Air compressor service software is only as useful as the consistency of those records, which is why every engineer should use the same form.
Contract visits versus ad hoc calls
Service contracts usually promise a set number of visits a year at an agreed rate, while breakdowns and extra work are charged separately. Marking each job as contract or chargeable when it is created saves an argument at invoice time, and a report of visits per site shows the customer that the contract was delivered in full before renewal comes round.
What Shifton Field Service does
It plans services, surveys and breakdowns on one board, sends engineers job details and checklists through the mobile app, records hours, readings, kits, photos and signatures, and produces reports per site. With one or two staff, the business keeps that core without paying and without a time limit. Inventory, Invoicing, GPS work location control and the customer portal are paid.
It is not an air monitoring or energy audit tool. It does not read controllers, log pressure or flow, or calculate the cost of leaks. It plans your engineers and records their work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Shifton read hours from the compressor controller?
No. It does not connect to compressor controllers or air monitoring systems. The engineer reads the hour meter and types it into the form on each visit.
Is it suitable as air compressor service software for a small firm?
Yes. Routine services, breakdowns, dryer changes and leak surveys all run as jobs with their own checklists, kits and signatures, whether you have two engineers or twenty.
Can we record receiver inspections?
You can record your own visual checks, drain tests and safety valve work on a form with photos. Statutory examinations remain the job of whoever is appointed to carry them out.
Can we invoice per service visit?
With the paid Invoicing module, invoices are raised from the job, including recorded hours and parts.
How much would a one-engineer compressor business pay?
Zero. Firms with up to two staff use the board, app, forms and reports for free with no cut-off date. Inventory, Invoicing, GPS work location control and the customer portal are optional paid modules.
Does it calculate energy savings from leak repairs?
No. It records the leaks found and fixed. Any energy or cost estimate comes from your own survey method.
