Real-Time Control for Marina Operations

Running a marina/boat-service business means juggling haul-outs and launches, slip assignments, fuel dock and pump-out, service/repairs, detailing, rigging, commissioning/winterization, parts, and yard moves — often across tight tides, weather windows, and busy weekends. Teams need live visibility of who is available, which crew is on a job, what equipment (travel lift, forklift, workboat) is in use, and where work is slipping. That’s why Shifton delivers a field service platform built for Marina & Boat Services — clear statuses, accurate, and clean handoffs between office, dock, yard, and service techs.

This marina-ready Field Service solution streamlines operations by routing work orders, assigning the right crew/tech to the right boat, and monitoring progress and on-site time in real time. Whether you’re turning seasonal launches, doing bottom paint and zincs, handling rigging or electronics installs, or responding to urgent dock calls, Shifton keeps tasks organized, auditable, and off the radio.

With Shifton, operators cut missed appointments and rework, stabilize appointment windows, and improve first-time-right. You get the control to scale across docks and yards, meet customer commitments, and deliver a smoother owner experience without chaos on the pier.
