ElevatorZip vs Liftkeeper

ElevatorZip is software built for elevator contractors and elevator companies, connecting field information with estimating, proposals, and customer records. Mechanics can search more than 10 million parts by name, number, or camera scan. Guided surveys collect supplier questions on site so the office can request a quote without a second visit. Parts, photos, specifications, and building details can be assembled into supplier emails. Field photos also populate surveys, estimates, proposals, and equipment records. The app generates estimates and branded, editable proposals for e-signature. Zip CRM tracks deal flow, pipeline, sales, buildings, elevators, contracts, and jobs. Listed capabilities include an elevator asset register, inspection workflows, service dispatch, a technician mobile app, and service contract management. ElevatorZip runs on Android, iOS, and the web, integrates with most CRMs, and populates Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel estimate spreadsheets. Zip Repair costs $83 a year, billed at $83 per user per month annually.

Liftkeeper is web-based business software for elevator companies, connecting office and field operations in one system. The company says it serves the elevator industry only.

Accounting tools include custom reports, automated maintenance-contract billing, and APIs for transferring data to accounting software; named connections include QuickBooks, Intacct, and Microsoft Dynamics.
