Real-Time Control for Painting Operations

Managing painting work means juggling estimates, color approvals, surface prep, multiple coats, punch lists, and room turns—often across residential and commercial sites with tight windows. Teams need live visibility of who’s onsite, what scope and materials are assigned, and where tasks slip. Shifton Field Service gives one operational picture with accurate and clean handoffs, and proof-of-work—so the day holds together without endless calls.

How Shifton Field Service Empowers Painting Teams

A focused field-service toolkit for residential, commercial, interior, and exterior jobs. Give estimators, PMs, and crews the same live picture to cut delays and keep work auditable.

Team Location Tracking
Track painter 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. Crews start the workday with one tap, view jobs and checklists, add notes/photos, 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 color approvals, surface prep checklists, change orders, punch lists, and completion sign-offs.
Client & Site Management
Store all client and site data in one place — contacts, addresses, access notes, surface types, square footage, finish specs, and job history. Managers see everything needed to respond quickly and keep quality high.
