How This Automation Works
Certification expiration date approaching or training completion recorded → Automated alerts sent, compliance dashboard updated, and renewal tracking initiated
Monitor Certification Database
The system continuously monitors the centralized certification database, checking expiration dates for all technician credentials including state licenses, OSHA certifications, manufacturer training, and specialized equipment authorizations. The monitoring runs daily and flags any certifications approaching their expiration threshold.
Trigger Renewal Alerts
When certifications reach predefined expiration thresholds (typically 90, 60, and 30 days), the system automatically generates and sends notifications via email and SMS to the affected technician and their direct supervisor. Alerts include specific certification details, expiration dates, and required renewal actions.
Create Renewal Tasks
The automation generates task assignments in the project management system with renewal checklists, required documentation lists, application links, fee information, and submission deadlines. Tasks are assigned to the technician with supervisor visibility and include all jurisdiction-specific requirements.
Track Renewal Progress
As technicians complete renewal steps, the system tracks documentation submission, application status, payment confirmation, and training completion. Progress updates are automatically logged and reflected in the compliance dashboard, with escalating reminders sent for incomplete items.
Update Certification Records
Upon renewal completion, the system updates the master certification database with new expiration dates, archives supporting documentation, resets the technician's compliance status to current, removes any scheduling restrictions, and triggers the next renewal cycle monitoring. All changes are timestamped and audit-logged.
Generate Compliance Reports
The automation produces regular compliance reports for management review, showing workforce certification status, upcoming expirations, renewal completion rates, non-compliant technicians, and jurisdiction-specific compliance summaries. Reports are automatically distributed to stakeholders and archived for regulatory purposes.
How It Works
Maintaining current certifications for elevator technicians is critical for regulatory compliance, safety standards, and operational continuity. This automation centralizes certification tracking across your entire technician workforce, monitoring expiration dates, renewal requirements, and continuing education credits. The system automatically alerts managers and technicians when certifications approach expiration, tracks mandatory training completion, maintains digital credential records, and generates compliance reports for regulatory audits. By eliminating manual spreadsheet tracking and preventing credential lapses, you ensure every field technician maintains proper licensing, reduce compliance risks, and avoid costly service disruptions from expired certifications. The automation integrates with training providers, licensing boards, and HR systems to maintain a single source of truth for all technician qualifications, enabling proactive workforce planning and seamless compliance management across multiple jurisdictions.
The Trigger
The automation initiates when a technician's certification reaches a predefined threshold before expiration (typically 30, 60, or 90 days), when new certification data is added to the system, when training completion is recorded, or when renewal documentation is submitted. Additional triggers include scheduled monthly compliance audits, new hire onboarding with credential verification, or regulatory requirement updates affecting certification standards.
The Action
Upon triggering, the system sends escalating email and SMS notifications to the technician and their supervisor about upcoming expirations, creates renewal task assignments with required documentation checklists, updates the centralized compliance dashboard with current certification status, logs all credential information in the technician's digital profile, generates pre-filled renewal application forms, schedules required training sessions, and produces compliance reports for management review. The system also flags technicians for scheduling restrictions if certifications expire and archives completed training certificates.
