We got tired of watching elevator contractors run their businesses on spreadsheets, generic field service software, and expensive Microsoft platforms that were never designed for this industry.
The elevator industry is one of the most safety-critical, compliance-heavy industries in existence. Every unit is regulated. Every inspection is logged. Every filing deadline matters. Getting it wrong means fines, shutdowns, and — at worst — endangering people.
Yet for decades, elevator contractors have been forced to use software built for HVAC technicians, plumbers, or generic field service workers. Software that doesn't know what a Cat 5 is. Software that requires internet in an elevator pit. Software that makes building managers call the office every time they need a certificate.
Every feature decision starts with the compliance implications. We encode the rules for every AHJ in every state because getting compliance wrong is not an option in the elevator industry. Our compliance engine isn't a feature — it's the foundation.
If a feature requires internet connectivity to work, it's not finished. Elevator technicians work in machine rooms, pits, and underground shafts. We build every workflow to function in airplane mode and sync seamlessly when connectivity returns.
Your customers — the building managers — deserve a great experience too. Not just an email with a PDF attached. A self-service portal that answers their questions without creating work for your office. We believe great service software serves everyone in the chain.
The elevator industry has two software options: expensive generic field service platforms that don't understand ASME compliance, or legacy Dynamics-based tools that know the industry but require a Microsoft Dynamics 365 license at $40–210 per user per month, on top of the software's own fees. For a 20-person shop, that's $10,000–50,000 per year in platform licensing alone, before you pay a dollar for elevator-specific functionality.
That's before the implementation consultants. Before the customization work. Before the annual Dynamics upgrades that break integrations and require re-training your entire team.
We set out to build what legacy elevator platforms should have been — purpose-built without the Dynamics dependency. Purpose-built for the elevator industry. Standalone. Priced for contractors of every size — not just enterprise operators who can absorb a $50,000 platform bill.
We spent months in the field with elevator companies — riding along on inspections, sitting in dispatch, watching technicians fill out paper checklists in elevator pits because their FSM app required internet. We mapped every workflow, encoded every state's AHJ rules, and built the platform from scratch around how elevator contractors actually operate.
The result is ElevaTechPro: the only elevator maintenance management platform that's compliance-first, offline-first, and built with a customer self-service portal from day one.
ElevaTechPro is an early-stage company with a small, focused team. We're looking for people who care deeply about building software that solves real problems for people who work with their hands.
If you're an engineer, designer, or elevator industry veteran who wants to help build the modern platform this industry deserves, we'd love to hear from you.
