JobSiteCore for elevator contractors

Units, down cars, and the contracts you’re chasing

Shaped with a working elevator shop: ten renamed phases, the word Units instead of Assets, a Down Cars panel on the dashboard, and a calendar of the cancellation windows on the maintenance contracts you’re chasing.

Updated September 26, 2026

What an independent elevator shop needs — and what changes

Winning the building means catching the window

Log a building’s current maintenance contract and its renewal date, and the app tracks the cancellation window — typically more than 30 but fewer than 120 days before auto-renewal — then reminds whoever owns the account while there is still time to send notice.

The pursuit list has to stay private

The contracts you are chasing stay private to your team; they never appear in any customer portal.

Knowing which cars are down

A Down Cars section on the dashboard is a status board your team keeps current, so the office sees which units are out of service.

The contracts you’re chasing

Log a building’s current maintenance contract and its renewal date, and the app tracks the cancellation window — typically more than 30 but fewer than 120 days before auto-renewal — then reminds whoever owns the account while there’s still time to send notice. Miss it and the building is locked in for another year. The list stays private to your team; it never appears in any customer portal.

Questions from elevator contractors

Does JobSiteCore come with an elevator price book?

Yes. An elevator company is created with 14 priced line items across maintenance, testing, service, repairs, and labor. The prices are starting points: edit them to your market and quote from them the same day.

How does the cancellation calendar work?

Enter a building’s current maintenance contract and its renewal date. The app works out the notice window — by default more than 30 but fewer than 120 days before auto-renewal — and reminds the teammate who owns the account while there is still time to send notice.

Can customers see the contracts we are chasing?

No. That list is internal to your team and never appears in any customer portal.

Which equipment types are built in?

Hydraulic Passenger Elevator, Traction Passenger Elevator, MRL Traction Elevator, Freight Elevator, and LULA, and more — saved as Units on the property.
