Real-Time Control for Handyman Operations

Managing handyman work means juggling a constant mix of repair requests, quick quotes and approvals, access details, material runs, and sign-offs — often across multiple sites, buildings, and clients. Jobs range from small fixes to emergency calls, all under tight deadlines and limited crew capacity. Without clear coordination, tasks overlap, delays stack up, and communication breaks down.

Shifton Field Service brings order to that chaos. Each request becomes a structured task — complete with client details, location, priority, and required materials. Dispatchers can instantly assign it to the nearest available technician and track live progress: who’s on-site, what task they’re working on, and what’s next in the queue.

Technicians receive mobile updates with all job details, attach before-and-after photos, add notes, and capture client signatures as proof-of-work. Managers see every step unfold in real time, ensuring that no task goes unnoticed or unverified.

How Shifton Field Service Empowers Handyman Teams

A focused field-service toolkit for quotes/approvals, punch lists, and completion sign-offs. Give managers, coordinators, and handymen the same live picture to cut delays and keep work auditable.

Team Location Tracking
Track handyman movement in real time. See who is where, how long they spent on a site, and where they were during the workday. No chaos, no calls — everything is on the map.
Mobile Access
All the work is in your pocket. Techs start the workday with one tap, see jobs, checklists, and notes, and receive notifications on the phone. No Excel files or paperwork — everything in one app.
Digital Job Forms
Create, fill out, and sign forms right in the system. Photos, signatures, comments — everything is stored online with no paper trail. Ideal for quotes/approvals, punch lists, and completion sign-offs.
Client & Site Management

Store all client and site data in one place — contacts, addresses, access notes, scope of work, and service history. Managers see everything needed to respond quickly and keep quality high. No more lost phone numbers or duplicate Excel sheets.
