In the dynamic world of construction and infrastructure, elevator projects have grown far beyond simple mechanical installations. Today, these projects require detailed planning, transparent coordination, precise inventory handling, and proactive service delivery. For elevator manufacturers, OEMs, and construction firms, every stage — from quotation to commissioning — is a potential bottleneck if not managed efficiently.

ERPbyNet offers a tailored ERP solution designed to address these challenges for the elevator industry. By digitizing workflows and integrating key operations, ERPbyNet enables companies to manage customer lifecycles, service contracts, and project execution with clarity and control.

Understanding the Elevator Project Lifecycle

An elevator project typically involves several key phases:

Sales and Quotation
Project Planning
Inventory Procurement
Installation
Testing and Commissioning
Service and Maintenance

Each stage is interdependent, and delays or miscommunication in one can affect the entire timeline. The industry needs a comprehensive system that can centralize all project data, minimize errors, and support decision-making in real time.

This is where ERPbyNet plays a transformational role.

Centralized Quotation and Customer Management

The journey begins with responding to customer inquiries and providing quotations. For many companies, this is still a manual or semi-automated process that relies heavily on spreadsheets or disconnected CRM tools.

ERPbyNet simplifies and accelerates this process by integrating:

Quotation templates customized by product category and configuration.
Automated cost estimation based on selected elevator models, site parameters, and pricing tiers.
Customer relationship management (CRM) with a full view of communication history, site visits, and status updates.

This ensures every quotation is accurate, consistent, and sent promptly, helping you win more projects while reducing negotiation cycles.

Efficient Project Planning and Resource Allocation

Once a project is confirmed, planning and scheduling become critical. Without a centralized system, teams often struggle to manage resources, manpower, and timelines across multiple sites.

ERPbyNet’s project planning module allows companies to:

Break down projects into milestones, tasks, and dependencies.
Allocate teams and technicians based on skill set, availability, and geography.
Set project timelines, track progress, and receive alerts for delays or deviations.

With Gantt charts, dashboards, and mobile accessibility, project managers always have a real-time view of execution — helping them stay ahead of schedule and under budget.

Smart Inventory and Procurement for Elevator Components

One of the most common challenges in elevator projects is component availability. Delays in receiving imported items like motors, controllers, or rails can derail the entire installation.

ERPbyNet addresses this with a smart inventory management system that includes:

Real-time tracking of stock levels across multiple warehouses.
Automatic reordering rules and supplier alerts.
Integration with Bill of Materials (BOM) for each elevator type.

This ensures procurement is proactive and well-planned, reducing lead times and avoiding costly last-minute sourcing.

Seamless Installation Coordination

Coordinating site activities like hoistway preparation, pit finishing, guide rail installation, and cab assembly requires constant updates and communication.

ERPbyNet streamlines this with:

Mobile-based work order management for field technicians.
Daily progress reports synced to the central dashboard.
Installation checklists to ensure safety and compliance at each step.

Supervisors and project managers can track who is assigned where, what tasks are completed, and what issues need resolution — all in one system.

Testing, Commissioning, and Handover

The final stages of an elevator project involve detailed testing, safety audits, and commissioning. Missing documentation or unrecorded changes can result in failed inspections or handover delays.

ERPbyNet simplifies this with:

Digitized testing protocols with auto-generated reports.
Centralized storage of test certificates, inspection forms, and customer approvals.
Commissioning status tracker to manage handover timelines.

With everything organized in the ERP, teams are prepared for audits and can ensure a smooth, professional handover experience.

Post-Installation Service Contracts and AMC Management

Elevator companies must also maintain long-term service relationships. Managing Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC), breakdown calls, and service schedules without automation leads to missed deadlines and unhappy clients.

ERPbyNet’s service module allows businesses to:

Create, track, and renew AMCs automatically.
Assign field service engineers and monitor service KPIs.
Maintain a complete service history for each elevator unit.

Technicians receive mobile alerts, customers can raise tickets through portals, and managers can track SLA performance — all leading to better service quality and client retention.

Integrated Financial and Compliance Management

Aside from operational excellence, ERPbyNet also integrates:

Financial modules to track billing, payments, and profitability per project.
GST and TDS compliance tools specific to Indian regulatory standards.
Multi-location reporting for elevator businesses operating in multiple cities or states.

This allows business owners and CFOs to maintain financial health while ensuring full compliance with local laws.

Benefits of Using ERPbyNet for Elevator Projects

Elevator businesses that implement ERPbyNet benefit from:

Faster project execution with real-time coordination.
Higher client satisfaction with prompt updates and transparent communication.
Lower operational costs through optimized resource and inventory planning.
Improved AMC revenue with automated renewals and alerts.
Better business decisions driven by analytics and reporting.
