General information
- Short Summary
-
A Spanish company has developed a web application to streamline the modernisation of lifts and elevators, connecting maintenance SMEs with equipment suppliers, simplifying project management and improving efficiency.
The tool facilitates seamless integration between stakeholders.
The company seeks partnerships with lift equipment suppliers and maintenance SMEs in foreign countries. - Full Description
-
The Spanish company has developed a comprehensive web application tailored to the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the lift maintenance sector.
This innovative solution addresses the challenges faced by the sector due to the new European regulation (ITC-2024) and the obsolescence of existing lifts, offering an agile and efficient process for lift modernisation projects.
Key Features:
- Pre-engineering solution: The web application enables SMEs to design modernisation projects using products from multiple manufacturers.
- Simplified data entry: SMEs can input generic elevator data, and the algorithm suggests compatible products, minimising the need for specialised knowledge and speeding up the decision-making process.
- Supplier diversification: The platform enables SMEs to choose from multiple suppliers, reducing dependency, avoiding production limitations, and offering flexibility in pricing and payment terms.
- The platform facilitates end-to-end project management, from data entry to generation of offers, purchase orders, and digital documentation.
- By automating data entry and streamlining the offer-to-order process, the platform increases the number of offers and orders processed without additional resources.
- Options for project financing are available to ensure SMEs have the financial capacity to undertake modernisation projects.
- All necessary documentation, including technical information, inspection reports, manuals, and project documentation is digitised and accessible in one place.
Process overview:
1. Registration: Users (lift maintenance SMEs) register on the platform and suppliers receive notifications of new users. Suppliers can send personalised offers to new users based on payment terms and other criteria.
2. Standardised solutions: SMEs enter generic data about the installation, and the algorithm suggests compatible products from various manufacturers. Each product comes with its own specific payment terms and delivery times.
3. Payments and orders: The platform generates orders and invoices, handles payments and includes logistics costs in the offers. The platform does not charge a monthly fee, but a small percentage, as a success fee, which will only be applied to orders.
4. Documentation: The platform sends the purchase documents to the banks, and handles document generation. Users are automatically notified of any changes in delivery times.
Added Value:
• Reduced effort and errors: The platform simplifies the generation of offers and order management, reducing potential errors.
• Access to multiple suppliers: SMEs can access a wide range of manufacturers, comparing prices, delivery times, and payment conditions.
• Financial capacity: The platform offers financing options tailored to the needs of SMEs.
• Digital documentation: All project documents are digitalised and easily accessible.
• Transparency and ethics: The platform ensures transparent and ethical transactions.
• User training: The company offers one hour of free training and a user manual upon registration. The platform is intuitive and user-friendly.
The company seeks partnerships with elevator equipment suppliers and maintenance SMEs in foreign countries to expand its reach and enhance the modernisation of lifts and elevators globally.
The platform is currently available in Spanish and English, with the potential to add more languages based on user demand. - Advantages and Innovations
