Real-Time Control for Facility Operations

Running facility management means juggling reactive tickets, preventive maintenance, inspections, vendor visits, access/permits, compliance checks, and after-hours callouts — across multiple buildings, floors, plants, and tight access windows. Teams need live visibility of who’s available, which technician or vendor is on-site, what assets/zones are in scope, and where work is slipping. That’s why Shifton delivers a field service platform built for Facility Management — clear statuses, clean handoffs between helpdesk, supervisors, vendors, and techs, and full job logs clients can trust.

This FM-ready Field Service solution streamlines operations by routing work orders, assigning the right tech/vendor to the right asset and priority, and monitoring progress and on-site time in real time. Whether you’re handling HVAC/MEP tickets, janitorial rounds, security checks, grounds, or life-safety inspections, Shifton keeps tasks organized, auditable, and off scattered chats.

With Shifton, providers cut no-shows and repeat visits, stabilize response times, and keep compliance documentation tight across portfolios without chaos.
