Elevator and Escalator Contractors Compliance Tracking

Track elevator mechanic licenses and QEI certifications across your technician team.

Common challenges

Where this typically breaks down

Common operational pain points for elevator and escalator contractors.

Elevator mechanic licenses are state-regulated and require periodic renewal, often tied to continuing education.

QEI (Qualified Elevator Inspector) certification is a separate, distinct credential required for inspection work specifically.

Building owners and code officials expect proof of current technician licensure before approving work or accepting an inspection.
