Real-Time Control for Landscaping Operations

Managing landscaping work means juggling maintenance routes, new installs, enhancements, irrigation work, and snow/seasonal services—often across multiple zones and tight windows. Teams need live visibility of who’s onsite, what scope is assigned, and where tasks slip.

How Shifton Field Service Empowers Landscaping Teams

A focused field-service toolkit for maintenance, installs, irrigation, and snow/seasonal. Give account managers, dispatch, and crews the same live picture to cut delays and keep work auditable.

  • Team Location Tracking
    Track crew movement in real time. See who is where, how long they spent on a property, 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. Crews start the workday with one tap, mark tasks and checklists (mowing, edging, pruning, irrigation), 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 site walk-throughs, QC checklists, irrigation start-up/shutdown, and change requests.
  • Client & Site Management

Store all client and site data in one place — contacts, addresses, gate/lock codes, site maps, service frequencies, and history. Managers see everything they need to respond quickly and keep quality high. No more lost phone numbers or duplicate Excel sheets.

Boost Efficiency with Landscaping Field Service

Managing field work across locations requires structure, accountability, and live coordination between dispatch, field teams, and stakeholders.

  • Job Progress Tracking 
    Real-time control — from task creation to completion.
    See who’s working on which job, what’s done, and what’s still pending.
    Transparency that saves time, prevents confusion, and improves client satisfaction.
  • Instant Alerts 
    The system notifies you if a task hasn’t started on time, if a delay occurs, or when an issue is flagged (missing part, location change, weather impact).
    No surprises — you always know what’s happening in the team.
    Push, email, or Telegram — choose your preferred notification channel.
  • Inventory & Warehouse Management 
    Full control over tools, materials, and spare parts.
    Track what’s issued, where it’s used, and when restocking is needed.
    When creating a task, assign required materials in advance for smooth execution.
    Fewer shortages, fewer errors, more transparency — every item tracked from warehouse to job site.
  • Access Control 
    Configure who sees what — each with their own access level.
  • Owner
  • Admin
  • Requester
  • Approvers 
  • Technicians 

Security and order in data without unnecessary exposure.
