Elevator service company software

Elevator service company software: every part of the business, from the first lead to the paid invoice, in one system

Most elevator service companies run on a spreadsheet of contracts, a whiteboard for the day, an invoicing tool and a bookkeeper, and none of them knows which certificates in town lapse next month. Smarterlift is one system for the whole business: it finds the contracts you do not hold yet, wins them, runs the work, bills it and keeps the books.

One system, lead to paid invoice

Why one system

Because the handoffs are where the money leaks. A signed proposal becomes the maintenance contract without being typed again; the contract books its own visits; a finished visit becomes the invoice; the invoice lands in the books and in the owner’s portal. Nothing is entered twice, so nothing drifts between two copies.

And because the constraint on most elevator companies is new contracts, not running the ones they have. The registry gives you every expiring certificate and every aging installation in your territory as a ranked list, the AI drafts the outreach and the proposal, and the work and the customer portal follow in the same system. One won modernization project pays for years of the subscription.

Anything you need that is not here, send it from Send feedback inside the product. Every request is read.

Questions people ask

What does Smarterlift replace?

The spreadsheet of contracts, the separate CRM, the dispatch whiteboard, the invoicing tool and, for companies that want it, the bookkeeping software. Leads, sales, contracts, work orders, tests, parts, billing, the books and the customer portal run in one system, and each step hands its record to the next, so nothing is typed twice. Companies that keep their books in QuickBooks Online connect it instead.

Why is Smarterlift priced from $499 a month?

Because it finds the contracts you do not hold yet, as well as running the ones you do. Every expiring certificate and every aging installation in your territory comes from the state registries, with the outreach and the proposal drafted. One won maintenance contract covers the year; one won modernization project covers several. Every plan includes unlimited office users, the customer portal and every AI feature.

Can I start with the leads and move the rest over later?

Yes. Every plan gives you the registry, the ranked building list, AI scoring, proposals and the CRM from the first day, and you can move contracts, work orders and billing over when you are ready. Most companies move sooner, because the won proposal becomes the contract, the contract books the work orders and the work orders become the invoice without re-entering anything. Day one import brings your existing customers, units, contracts and service history in from your own export.

Does Smarterlift do accounting and route planning?

Accounting, yes: double entry books with bank reconciliation and statements, payroll preparation, job costing, invoicing with card payment through Stripe, and a QuickBooks Online connection for companies that keep their books there. It does not pay anyone or file tax returns. Dispatch plans each technician's day in stop order, with drive times estimated from distance, and hands each leg to the maps app on their phone.

How long does setup take?

Setup is measured in days, not months. Every plan starts with fourteen days to look and a free first month. A one time onboarding fee, from $1,500 on Crew, opens your account and covers what Smarterlift holds for you, sized by your plan. You set up yourself: drop your exports, claim your units from the state registry, or email a spreadsheet in, and the first day list walks you through the rest.
