ROI Impact
An elevator code inspection reminder automation monitors inspection schedules and automatically sends notifications to facility managers and maintenance teams before deadlines. This ensures timely compliance with safety regulations, eliminates missed inspections, and reduces the risk of violations or operational shutdowns.
How This Automation Works
Inspection Due Date Approaching → Compliance Reminder Sent
Monitor Inspection Schedule Database
The system continuously monitors your elevator inspection schedule database, tracking all upcoming code inspection due dates. It calculates the number of days until each inspection deadline and identifies which elevators require upcoming notifications based on your configured reminder intervals.
Trigger Reminder at Configured Interval
When an elevator inspection reaches a reminder threshold (such as 30 days before the due date), the system automatically triggers the notification process. The trigger is based on your pre-configured timeline, ensuring consistent advance notice for all inspections across your entire facility or portfolio.
Compile Inspection Details
The system retrieves all relevant information for the upcoming inspection, including elevator identification, location details, inspection type, regulatory requirements, due date, previous inspection history, and assigned personnel. This data is compiled into a comprehensive reminder message that provides recipients with complete context.
Send Multi-Channel Notification
The compiled reminder is automatically sent to designated recipients through their preferred communication channels—email, SMS, push notification, or dashboard alert. The message includes all critical details, actionable next steps, and links to relevant documentation or scheduling tools to facilitate immediate action.
Log Communication and Track Response
Every reminder sent is automatically logged with timestamp, recipient information, and delivery status. The system tracks whether messages are opened, acknowledged, or acted upon, creating a complete audit trail for compliance documentation and enabling follow-up on unacknowledged notifications.
Execute Escalation Protocol
If a reminder isn't acknowledged within a specified timeframe, the system automatically escalates by sending additional notifications to supervisors or management. As the inspection deadline approaches, escalation intensity increases, ensuring critical inspections receive appropriate attention and are never overlooked.
How It Works
Managing elevator code inspections is critical for building safety and regulatory compliance. This automation systematically tracks inspection schedules and sends timely reminders to facility managers, maintenance teams, and building owners before deadlines approach. By automating the reminder process, you eliminate the risk of missed inspections, avoid costly violations, and maintain uninterrupted elevator operations. The system monitors inspection due dates, sends escalating notifications at configurable intervals, and maintains a complete audit trail of all communications. Whether managing a single building or a portfolio of properties, automated code inspection reminders ensure your elevators remain compliant with local, state, and federal safety regulations while reducing administrative overhead and improving response rates.
The Trigger
The automation activates when an elevator code inspection deadline is approaching based on your configured timeline (typically 30, 14, and 7 days before the due date). The system continuously monitors your inspection schedule database and triggers notifications at predetermined intervals to ensure adequate preparation time.
The Action
The system automatically sends detailed reminder notifications via email, SMS, or push notification to designated recipients including facility managers, maintenance supervisors, building owners, and inspection coordinators. Each message includes critical details such as elevator ID, location, inspection type, due date, and required documentation, ensuring recipients have all necessary information to schedule and complete the inspection on time.

Results You Can Expect
Eliminate Missed Inspections
Automated reminders ensure every code inspection is tracked and communicated before the deadline, eliminating the risk of missed inspections that could result in violations, fines, or elevator shutdowns. The system provides consistent coverage across all elevators and locations without relying on manual tracking.
Reduce Compliance Violations
Proactive reminders dramatically reduce compliance violations by ensuring inspections are scheduled and completed on time. Organizations implementing automated reminders report up to 95% reduction in late or missed inspections, avoiding penalties that typically range from $500 to $10,000 per violation and protecting facility reputation.
Save Administrative Time
Eliminate manual tracking, calendar management, and reminder creation that typically consumes 8-12 hours monthly for facility managers. Staff can focus on strategic activities rather than administrative tasks, while the system handles routine reminder scheduling and delivery automatically across your entire elevator portfolio.
Improve Response Rates
Timely, detailed reminders with all necessary information enable faster action. Recipients can immediately schedule inspections without gathering additional details, resulting in 60% faster response times and more efficient coordination with certified inspectors and maintenance teams.
Maintain Complete Audit Trail
The system automatically creates comprehensive records of all reminders sent, delivery confirmations, and response tracking. This audit trail provides essential documentation for regulatory audits, insurance reviews, and compliance reporting, demonstrating proactive safety management to stakeholders and regulators.
Scale Across Multiple Properties
Manage code inspection reminders for unlimited elevators across multiple buildings, campuses, or geographic regions from a single system. The automation scales effortlessly as your portfolio grows, maintaining consistent compliance management without increasing administrative overhead or staffing requirements.
