Real-Time Control for Fencing Operations

Running a fencing company means handling site surveys, utility locates, permits/HOA approvals, layout and marking, post setting and concrete, panel/rail install, gates and hardware, staining/finishing, and repair calls — often across multiple properties and tight time windows. Teams need live visibility of who’s on-site, what materials and tools are issued, and where work is slipping. That’s why Shifton delivers a field service platform built for Fencing — clear statuses, accurate assignments, and clean handoffs between office, crew leads, and homeowners/GCs.

This fencing-ready Field Service solution routes work orders, assigns the right crew to the right property and fence type (wood, vinyl, aluminum, steel, chain-link), and tracks progress and site time in real time. Whether you’re setting posts, pouring footings, hanging gates, or completing punch lists, Shifton keeps tasks organized, auditable, and out of messy chats.

With Shifton, contractors cut rework, prevent missed steps (utility locate, gate hardware alignment, curing), and provide proof-of-work with photos and forms. You get control to scale crews, meet quality standards, and deliver a cleaner customer experience.
