Real-Time Control for Refrigeration Operations

Managing refrigeration means juggling PM routes, leak checks, emergency calls, rack/controller issues, and commissioning—often across multi-site retail, plants, and 24/7 SLAs. Teams need live visibility of who’s onsite, which assets are impacted, and where jobs 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.

Features of Field Service Management for Refrigeration HVAC-R

How Shifton Field Service Empowers Refrigeration HVAC-R

A focused field-service toolkit for PM, troubleshooting, repairs, commissioning, and warranty. Give 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, mark tasks, add notes/photos/readings (pressures, temps, superheat/subcool), 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 PM checklists, leak checks, recovery/charge logs, commissioning sheets, and warranty forms.
  • Client & Site Management

Store all client and site data in one place — contacts, addresses, case/walk-in/rack details, controller models, and service history. Managers see everything needed to respond quickly and keep quality high.

Boost Efficiency with Refrigeration Field Service

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

  • Job Progress Tracking

    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
