Real-Time Control for Plumbers Operations

Managing plumbing work means juggling service calls, installs, maintenance routes, permits, and inspections—often across multiple neighborhoods and tight response windows. Teams need live visibility of who’s onsite, what fixtures/equipment are in scope, and where jobs 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 Plumbing Teams

How Shifton Field Service Empowers Plumbing Teams

A focused field-service toolkit for service, install, and maintenance. Give CSRs/dispatch, managers, and technicians the same live picture to cut delays and keep work auditable.

  • Team Location Tracking
    Track technician 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, add notes/photos/readings, 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 permits, inspection reports, pressure/leak tests, camera inspections, and warranty forms.
  • Client & Site Management

Store all client and site data in one place — contacts, addresses, shutoff locations, fixture lists, water heater/boiler details, and service history. Managers see everything needed to respond quickly and keep quality high.
