Why elevator maintenance shouldn’t be tracked in Excel

July 1, 2026 · The Aselmind Team

Most elevator maintenance companies start out with Excel. The elevator list on one tab, maintenance dates on another, collections on a third... Once a company passes 50 elevators, the spreadsheet becomes unmanageable: you find out whether a visit happened by phoning the technician, job sheets vanish in the van, and by the time a missed visit is noticed, the damage is done.

Yet monthly maintenance is a legal obligation, and every missed visit means both regulatory risk and lost customers. Digital maintenance tracking removes that risk: the moment a contract is entered, a 12-month plan is generated automatically, the technician closes the job from the mobile app on site, and the system warns you about a missed visit on the very day it happens.

Moving off Excel is easier than it sounds. In Aselmind, your existing elevator list and account records are imported straight from Excel; a typical company is using digital job sheets in the field within its first week.
