Elevator & Escalator Service

No ReKeying — Every Service Agreement Renewed, Every Visit Logged Automatically

Maintenance agreements are your most profitable recurring revenue — and the ones most likely to slip through the cracks. Renewal dates buried in a spreadsheet, missed visits never billed, customers who forgot they had a contract. No ReKeying means every agreement visit is dispatched, logged, and billed without manual follow-through.

Growth Rate

Elevator mechanics operate in a compliance-critical environment where every adjustment, repair, and inspection must be documented with timestamps and signed off by a licensed inspector. Paper inspection forms get left in the cab, are illegible, or never make it back to the office — creating a direct liability gap when the AHJ requests certificate renewal documentation.

How Maintenance Agreement Tracking Actually Looks in Elevator & Escalator Service

The Scenario

An elevator service company has maintenance agreements on 85 units across 20 buildings. PM visits are scheduled manually in a shared calendar. A calendar sync error caused 11 units to go 5 months without a quarterly PM — discovered only when the building manager called.

The Real Impact

Missed PM visits on elevator maintenance contracts breach ASME A17.1 maintenance requirements and can trigger certificate of operation violations — a direct liability event and contract cancellation risk.

Does This Sound Like Your Elevator & Escalator Service Operation?

  • !Maintenance agreement visits get skipped and nobody notices until the customer calls
  • !Renewal dates are tracked in a spreadsheet that someone forgets to check
  • !Agreement customers get treated like one-off jobs — no priority scheduling

The Cost of Doing Nothing

A missed maintenance agreement visit is lost revenue and a broken promise. If 10% of your agreement visits are missed, a $50K/month agreement base leaks $5K/month — $60K/year — in unbilled work.
