ROI Impact
Automated elevator seismic test scheduling monitors regulatory deadlines, generates work orders 60-30 days before due dates, coordinates contractor scheduling, tracks certifications, and maintains compliance documentation. This eliminates manual calendar management and ensures 100% on-time testing compliance.
How This Automation Works
Test Due Date Approaching → Automated Test Scheduling and Documentation
Monitor Testing Schedules
The system continuously tracks seismic test due dates for all elevators based on last test date, regulatory interval requirements, and jurisdiction-specific rules. It calculates upcoming deadlines and queues notification workflows.
Generate Advance Notifications
At 60, 30, and 7 days before each deadline, automated notifications are sent to building managers, facility supervisors, and compliance officers with testing requirements, elevator details, and scheduling instructions.
Coordinate Contractor Scheduling
The system sends scheduling requests to approved seismic testing contractors with available time slots, elevator specifications, and building access information. It processes contractor responses and confirms appointments automatically.
Track Test Execution
On test day, the system sends reminders to all parties, tracks completion status, and prompts contractors to upload test results and certification documents immediately upon completion.
Process Results and Update Records
When test results are uploaded, the system automatically extracts key data, updates the compliance database with new certification dates, files documents in the digital repository, and calculates the next test due date.
Generate Compliance Reports
The automation produces monthly compliance dashboards showing testing status across all elevators, flags upcoming deadlines, highlights overdue tests, and generates regulatory reports for jurisdiction submissions.
How It Works
Elevator seismic testing is a critical compliance requirement that ensures passenger safety during earthquakes. Manual scheduling of these periodic tests, tracking certification expiration dates, and coordinating with testing contractors creates administrative burden and compliance risks. This automated system monitors testing schedules based on local code requirements, automatically generates work orders when tests are due, sends notifications to building managers and testing contractors, and maintains digital certification records. The system tracks test results, flags failures requiring corrective action, and generates compliance reports for regulatory inspections. By eliminating manual calendar management and paper-based tracking, property managers ensure 100% compliance with seismic testing requirements while reducing administrative overhead. The automation integrates with building management systems, contractor scheduling platforms, and document management tools to create a seamless compliance workflow that protects both tenants and building owners from regulatory penalties.
The Trigger
The system monitors seismic test schedules based on regulatory intervals (typically annual or biennial depending on jurisdiction) and automatically triggers workflows 60, 30, and 7 days before the compliance deadline. Additional triggers activate when new elevators are installed, when test results are uploaded, or when certifications expire.
The Action
When a test deadline approaches, the system automatically generates a work order, sends scheduling requests to approved testing contractors, notifies building management, creates calendar entries, and updates the compliance tracking database. Upon test completion, it processes certification documents, updates records, and generates compliance reports for regulatory authorities.
Common Use Cases in Elevator

Results You Can Expect
Zero Missed Inspections
Automated deadline monitoring and multi-stage reminders eliminate forgotten tests and ensure every elevator meets regulatory testing requirements without manual calendar management.
Reduced Administrative Time
Eliminate manual scheduling, contractor coordination, certification tracking, and report generation. Building managers reclaim hours previously spent on compliance paperwork and calendar management.
Instant Compliance Visibility
Dashboard views show compliance status across all elevators and properties at a glance. Instantly identify overdue tests, upcoming deadlines, and certification gaps for proactive management.
Audit-Ready Documentation
All test certificates, inspection reports, and compliance communications are automatically organized in searchable digital files. Generate comprehensive audit reports in seconds instead of hours.
Frequently Asked Questions About This Automation
Seismic testing frequency varies by jurisdiction, typically ranging from annual to every five years. High-seismic zones like California require annual testing, while moderate zones may require biennial or triennial testing. The automated system configures schedules based on your local code requirements and building classifications.
