Elevator & Lift Service Software That Actually Works: A Deep Dive into Sterling

While you're servicing a traction motor, your AI is booking the next modernization.

Sterling Crew gives 1–15 person elevator shops a 24/7 AI team — front desk, estimator, dispatcher, and collector — that answers calls, sends quotes, and chases payments so you can focus on the work.

You're a certified elevator technician. You shouldn't also have to be a dispatcher, estimator, and collections department.

Missed calls during a shutdown

A building manager from a downtown Toronto high-rise called about a full elevator shutdown while you were troubleshooting a controller in Mississauga.

Modernization quotes gathering dust

You sent 8 modernization proposals last month. Four never got a follow-up.

Nights spent on compliance paperwork

You finished a 10-hour hydraulic repair at 6pm. Now you have to fill out TSSA paperwork.

Your competitor dominates local search

The elevator company one city over has 250 Google reviews. You have 25.

AGENT SPOTLIGHT

FRONT DESK AGENT

Never miss a high-value service call again

QUOTING AGENT

Voice-memo the scope. Get a modernization proposal in minutes.

You finish a site survey for a 3-storey hydraulic elevator modernization in a Calgary office building. Record a voice note with the scope, and your Quoting Agent pulls costs from your elevator price book and generates a multi-page modernization proposal — complete with unit details, CEC requirements, and payment schedule.

Get paid for every service contract. Without the awkward calls.

You completed a quarterly maintenance visit on Tuesday. By Tuesday evening, the invoice is already sent to the property manager with a payment link.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can the Front Desk Agent differentiate between an entrapment and a routine maintenance query?

Yes. The AI is trained to recognize keywords like "stuck," "trapped," or "not moving" and immediately escalate to a human technician. For routine queries, it will book an appointment based on your availability.

Can the Quoting Agent handle complex modernization proposals?

Absolutely. You can configure the Quoting Agent with your specific labour rates, supplier pricing, and desired margins. It can generate multi-page proposals for complex jobs, including specifications and compliance details for provincial regulations.

How does the system handle multi-year service contracts?

Sterling allows you to create and manage multi-year contracts with automated annual price escalations. The system will track renewal dates and send out proactive reminders to clients.

Does it track provincial and local compliance requirements?

Yes, Sterling is pre-configured with a knowledge base of Canadian standards, including the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), and provincial OHS regulations. It can help you track inspection dates and generate compliance reports for bodies like the TSSA and ESA.

Can I set different permissions for my technicians and office staff?

Yes. You can define user roles and permissions to control access to sensitive information like financial data and client contracts. Technicians can have access to job details and service histories, while office staff can manage billing and scheduling.

Does it integrate with my current accounting software?

Sterling integrates with popular accounting platforms like QuickBooks and Xero, allowing for seamless syncing of invoices, payments, and client data.

Can my technicians update job status from the field?

Yes. Technicians can use the Sterling mobile app to view their schedules, update job statuses, add notes, and even upload photos from the job site.
