Real-Time Control for Moving Operations

Managing moving work means juggling estimates, inventory, parking/access constraints, load/unload windows, storage, and long-distance transit—often across multiple cities and tight timelines. Teams need live visibility of who’s onsite, which truck is where, and where tasks slip. Shifton Field Service gives one operational picture with accurate and clean handoffs, and proof-of-work—so the plan holds together without endless calls.

How Shifton Field Service Empowers Moving Teams

A focused field-service toolkit for local and long-distance moves—residential and commercial. Give sales/coordinators, dispatch, and crews the same live picture to cut delays and keep work auditable.

Team Location Tracking
Track crew and truck movement in real time. See who is where, how long they spent at a pickup/drop-off, 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. Movers start the workday with one tap, view jobs, mark tasks, capture notes/photos/POD, 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 estimates, inventory lists, bill of lading, access/parking notes, and damage reports.
Client & Site Management

Store all client and location data in one place — contacts, addresses, elevator/time windows, stairs/parking restrictions, and job history. Managers see everything they need to respond quickly and keep quality high. No more lost phone numbers or duplicate Excel sheets.
