LiftSafe — Elevator Compliance Platform for Building Managers
European building managers were tracking elevator inspections with spreadsheets and paper files, risking missed deadlines and regulatory fines. A compliance platform was built with centralized tracking, automated reminders, and multi-language support.
The Challenge
In the European Union, elevator safety regulations leave no room for error. Every elevator must undergo regular technical inspections, and certificates must be renewed before they expire. Missing a single deadline can result in significant fines, or worse, liability in the event of an incident. For building managers overseeing dozens or hundreds of properties, keeping track of every elevator’s inspection schedule and certificate status was a constant source of stress.
Most managers relied on Excel spreadsheets or even paper records to track compliance. Information was scattered, deadlines were easy to miss, and there was no reliable way to know whether an expired certificate had slipped through the cracks somewhere in the portfolio.
The Solution
A focused compliance platform called LiftSafe was built to solve this specific problem without unnecessary complexity.
Centralized dashboard. Every elevator across the entire property portfolio is visible in one place, with locations, inspection dates, and certificate expiry deadlines clearly displayed. Nothing gets lost between spreadsheets or filing cabinets.
Automated reminders. The system sends alerts well before an inspection or certificate deadline approaches, giving managers enough lead time to schedule service appointments without last-minute scrambling.
Multi-language interface. The platform operates in English, German, and French, covering the primary EU markets where elevator compliance requirements are most stringent.
Simple, accessible design. Building managers are property professionals, not software experts. The interface was designed so that anyone can understand and use it immediately, with no training required. The platform is built on Astro for fast-loading pages and strong SEO, styled with Tailwind CSS, and uses an i18n system that makes adding new languages straightforward.
The Result
The value proposition is immediate and concrete. A single missed compliance fine typically costs more than an entire year’s subscription to the platform. Building managers save hours each week that were previously spent on manual tracking and cross-referencing records. The platform scales effortlessly from a handful of buildings to an entire portfolio of hundreds. All compliance activity is documented and auditable, providing protection in the event of regulatory inquiries.
