Lift maintenance engineers service and repair passenger and goods lifts in blocks of flats, offices, shops, hotels and care homes. Most customers pay for a maintenance contract with regular visits, and pay extra for call-outs when a lift breaks down and for larger repairs. A payments app that handles contract payments, call-outs and repair invoices can win lift engineers, and every building owner and managing agent that pays them sees your app.

Make contract payments regular

Customers can pay their maintenance contract on a regular plan, so the engineer gets steady income and never has to chase a renewal.

Grow through building managers

Lift engineers work for the same building owners and managing agents that pay fire risk assessors, cleaners and other trades. When those businesses take payments through your app, each engineer can bring more of them onto it.
