Run your entire lift company through AI.
LiftAI replaces spreadsheets, paper service sheets and fragmented software with one unified platform — where every major function of a lift maintenance business is run by a specialised AI agent.
The idea
This isn't software you use. It's a system that runs your business.
Today a lift contractor juggles a CRM, an accounts package, a scheduling tool, paper checklists and a dozen spreadsheets — none of which talk to each other. LiftAI brings every department under one roof, and puts an AI assistant in front of every employee.
Just say what happened
"The door won't close on lift 3 at Westfield Tower." LiftAI logs the job, sets the priority, checks the contract and dispatches the right engineer — from one sentence.
Every department, connected
Maintenance, repairs, finance, scheduling, field ops, HR, legal, safety and marketing all share one live data set. No re-keying, no drift.
Built for UK lift work
LOLER, RIDDOR, CDM, the Building Safety Act, VAT & CIS — the regulations and workflows are built in, not retrofitted from generic software.
How it works
From a sentence to a dispatched job.
Every employee talks to the platform in plain English. Behind the scenes, three layers turn that request into a real business action — with the right permissions, every time.
The employee-facing chat assistant. Understands the request and applies the user's role and permissions.
The router. Classifies what the request is, sets its priority, and sends it to the correct domain agent.
REPAIRS, FINANCE, SCHEDULER and 13 others perform the real action and reply in plain language.
REP-2026-0142 — Westfield Tower, lift 3, door fault.
P2 — entrapment risk flagged, 4-hour SLA applied.
Closest available engineer, drive-time aware — ETA 47 min.
SMS + email sent to the building's facilities team automatically.
The architecture
One platform. Sixteen specialised agents.
Each agent is an expert in one part of the business — coordinated through a single conversational layer so the whole company works from one brain.
The only agent employees talk to.
Classifies intent, sets priority, dispatches.
Service visits, LOLER exams, defects, history.
Reactive jobs, fault diagnosis, quoting, parts.
Installs, modernisations, milestones, CDM.
Invoicing, payments, POs, VAT & CIS.
Client communications, complaints, portal.
Dispatch, GPS, van stock, timesheets.
Route optimisation, capacity, on-call rota.
Legal, compliance, contracts, GDPR.
Tenders, proposals, leads, campaigns.
Leave, training, qualifications, payroll.
Incidents, RIDDOR, audits, permits, RAMS.
Platform health, monitoring, briefings.
Notifications, emails, SMS, digests.
Bugs, features, migrations, tech issues.
Inside the platform
A guided tour of the key pages.
Every screen is built around UK lift-industry workflows — not retrofitted from generic software. Step through what your team actually sees, day to day.
The Dashboard
01 — OverviewEvery morning starts here. An AI-written daily briefing summarises what needs attention across the whole business — then live KPI tiles and action panels let your team move straight to the work.
- AI Daily Briefing — operations, repairs and finance summarised in plain English
- Live KPI tiles — active jobs, engineers, overdue items, cash position
- Alerts & overdue items — emergency repairs, overdue LOLER, expiring contracts
- Quick actions — log a fault, schedule a visit, raise a quote in one click
Beyond the office
Two more front doors — for the field, and for your clients.
The same platform reaches the engineer in the lift shaft and the facilities manager who hired you — each with a purpose-built view.
Built for the van, not the desk
A focused, mobile-first view for engineers on site. Today's jobs, active repairs and visits — installable as an app, and fully usable with no signal.
- Today at a glance — visits, completions and active repairs front and centre
- Offline engineer mode — complete visits, log defects and queue photos with no connection
- Auto-sync — everything uploads the moment signal returns
- Digital signatures — captured on-screen at visit completion
Self-service for the people who hired you
A 10-page portal your clients log into directly — to track their lift fleet, approve quotes, report faults and download certificates. Separate, secure login: clients never touch employee data.
- Lift fleet & LOLER compliance — clients see their own units and certificate status
- Quote approval — approve or decline online, no phone tag
- Report a fault — straight into your repairs pipeline
- Documents & invoices — certificates and paperwork on demand

Platform
Modern, fast, and engineered to last.
A current, well-supported technology stack — chosen for reliability and a long service life, not fashion.
- Next.js 15 + React 19 — a fast, modern web application
- PostgreSQL 16 — enterprise-grade database with row-level security
- Anthropic Claude — Haiku, Sonnet & Opus models powering the agents
- Progressive Web App — installable, offline-capable, on any device
- Real-time updates — live data pushed to every screen as it changes
Security & data integrity
Your data: isolated, audited, recoverable.
Tenant isolation enforced at the database, an immutable audit trail and drill-tested backups — engineered in from the start, not bolted on.
Tenant isolation
Every record is scoped to your company and enforced at the database level with Row-Level Security — automatically verified across thousands of data relationships.
Immutable audit trail
Every single change is logged to a tamper-proof record with its legal basis — satisfying GDPR Article 30 and the Building Safety Act Golden Thread.
Archive, never delete
Customer data is archived, never destroyed — and finance writes always require a human. AI never moves money on its own.
Verified backups
Nightly automated backups with append-only retention. The restore process has been drill-tested end-to-end, not just assumed.
Modern authentication
Secure sessions with rotation and revocation, two-factor authentication, and rate limiting on every sensitive path.
Continuous QA
A custom automated quality & security server runs 20+ checks on every change — plus a nightly auditor that scans the whole platform for issues.
What's next
An active roadmap toward launch.
LiftAI is a working platform in active development. Here's what's coming as it moves toward general availability.
