Gaffer for
lift and elevator engineers.
A lift portfolio is a diary problem. Every passenger lift needs a LOLER thorough examination on a six-month clock, and a managing agent with forty blocks will not be the one reminding you. Gaffer keeps each lift on its own site, tracks the examination date against it, and raises the statutory defect notification the moment a defect notice is written. Quote, schedule, certify, invoice and get paid — with the 17 trade documents lift and elevator engineers actually use already in the account.
Where two names look alike they are different documents — a notification is not the certificate that follows it, and two schemes covering the same work each want their own form. If you think one is missing, or that one of these is redundant, say so and we will change the pack.
Priced quote templates for lift and elevator engineers, your own price book and good-better-best options. Customers accept and pay a deposit from their phone.
17 trade documents ready for lift and elevator engineers — 12 written for this trade, 5 shared with others — filled in on the phone, signed on site and emailed as a PDF before you leave.
One tap raises the invoice from the accepted quote, nets off the deposit and sends a Pay Now link. Reminders chase for you.
Certificates and services with an expiry date become next year’s work. Gaffer texts the customer a booking link before it lapses.
