Real-Time Control for Generator Operations

Running a generator service business means managing installs, commissioning, load-bank tests, PM visits (oil/filters/coolant), battery checks, ATS inspections, emergency callouts, parts swaps, and fuel issues — across commercial, industrial, and residential sites. Teams need live visibility of who’s available, which technician is on-site, what assets and serials are under service, and where work is slipping. That’s why Shifton delivers a field service platform built for Generator Service & Maintenance — clear statuses, accurate assignments, and clean handoffs between coordinators, technicians, and facility managers.

This generator-ready Field Service solution routes work orders, matches the right tech and parts kit to the right unit, and tracks progress, readings, and time on-site in real time. Whether you’re performing a quarterly PM, diagnosing a no-start, replacing an alternator, or testing transfer under load, Shifton keeps tasks organized, auditable, and out of messy chats.

With Shifton, providers cut repeat visits, prevent missed PM steps, and deliver photo-backed proof of work and service reports. You get operational control across territories, tighter compliance, and a better client experience.
