Real-Time Control for Snow Removal Operations

Managing snow removal means juggling on-call and seasonal contracts, storm windows, priority sites, sidewalk/lot coverage, and post-storm verification—often under changing forecasts and tight SLAs. Teams need live visibility of who’s on route, which zones are cleared, what materials are used, and where work is slipping. Shifton Field Service gives one operational picture with accurate and clean handoffs, and proof-of-service—so routes run without endless calls.

Features of Field Service Management for Snow Removal

How Shifton Field Service Empowers Snow Removal Teams

A focused field-service toolkit for plowing, sidewalks, de-icing, and post-storm audits. Give account managers, dispatch, and crews the same live picture to cut delays and keep service verifiable.

  • Team Location Tracking
    Track plow trucks and sidewalk crews in real time. See who is where, how long they spent at a site, and where they were during the workday/storm. No chaos, no calls — everything is on the map.
  • Mobile Access
    All the work is in your pocket. Crews start the shift with one tap, view routes, mark tasks (plow, shovel, blow, salt), add notes/photos, and receive notifications. No Excel or paperwork — everything in one app.
  • Digital Job Forms
    Create, fill out, and sign forms right in the system. Photos, signatures, comments — everything stored online with no paper trail. Ideal for storm logs, service checklists, slip/fall incident reports, and post-storm verification.
  • Client & Site Management

Store client and site data in one place — contacts, addresses, site maps, priority areas, trigger depths, and service history. Managers see what they need to respond fast and keep quality high.
