Real-Time Control for Gate & Barrier Operations

Running gate automation & barrier service means handling site surveys, power/civil works coordination, operator/arm installs, safety devices (photocells/edges/loops) setup, access control wiring, commissioning, PM routes, emergency call-outs, and warranty work — often across residential estates, commercial parks, and critical facilities with strict access windows. Teams need live visibility of who’s on-site, which entrances/lanes are in scope, what parts are issued, and where work is slipping. That’s why Shifton delivers a field service platform built for Gate Automation & Barrier Service — clear statuses, precise assignments, and clean handoffs between sales, dispatch, technicians, and clients/GCs.
