Real-Time Control for Telecom Field Operations

Managing telecom field work means juggling network builds, CPE installs, maintenance visits, and outage response—often under tight windows and changing priorities. Teams need live visibility of who is available, which certifications they hold (fiber, RF, tower), what parts are on hand, and where work is slipping. That’s why Shifton delivers a field service platform built for Telecommunications—clear statuses, accurate  and clean handoffs between Dispatch, NOC, and technicians.

This telecom-ready Field Service solution streamlines operations by automating work-order routing, assigning the right tech to the right job, and monitoring progress and site time in real time. Whether you’re activating new customers, splicing fiber, or restoring service, Shifton keeps tasks organized, auditable, and without endless calls.

With Shifton, providers reduce repeat truck rolls, stabilize appointment windows, and improve first-time-right. You get the control to scale operations, meet compliance and SLA targets, and deliver a better customer experience in a fast-moving network environment.

How Shifton Field Service Empowers Telecommunications Teams

A focused field-service toolkit for installs, surveys, maintenance, and outage response. Give Dispatch, NOC, and technicians the same live picture to cut delays, protect SLAs, and keep work auditable.

  • Team Location Tracking
    Track field engineer/tech 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 tickets/orders, capture notes/photos/readings (RSSI, SNR, light levels), and receive notifications on the phone. No Excel files or paperwork — everything is 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 site surveys, CPE installs, fiber splice logs, RF sweep reports, and acceptance/handover forms
  • Client & Site/Asset Management
    Store all client, site, and asset data in one place — contacts, addresses, cabinets. Dispatch and NOC see what they need to respond quickly and keep quality high.

    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.
