The Old Way:
Losing Contracts to Voicemail.
Passengers trapped in a stalled cab trigger immediate panic, liability exposure, and a potential fire department forced entry that destroys a $15,000 cab interior. Missing the building manager's call by 3 minutes can result in axed doors and a lawsuit.
State elevator inspectors enforce rigid annual testing deadlines. Failing to perform a full-load drop test before the certificate expires results in the state red-tagging the building and shutting down every car until the test is completed.
A technician trained on vintage relay-logic controllers cannot diagnose a modern Gen2 microprocessor-driven traction system. Dispatching the wrong specialist wastes an entire evening and leaves the building's only elevator out of service overnight.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AI agent prioritize a passenger entrapment over all other service calls?
When the AI agent detects keywords like "trapped," "stuck between floors," or "passengers inside," it fires a maximum-priority override webhook that bypasses the entire daily schedule. The routing engine identifies the nearest on-call technician, injects the emergency into their live route, and displaces any non-emergency appointment. The displaced job auto-reschedules and the affected customer receives an SMS notification.
How does the system ensure the correct specialist dispatches to each controller type?
The platform stores the exact make, model, and vintage of every elevator controller in every building—from 1970s relay logic to modern solid-state microprocessors. When the routing engine builds a dispatch, it cross-references the building's controller profile against each technician's factory certifications and blocks any mechanic without the matching training from appearing on the assignment.
How does the platform manage annual state inspection deadlines across a portfolio of buildings?
The system logs the exact expiration date of the state operating certificate for every elevator car in every building on the roster. Sixty days before expiration, a webhook fires a full-load drop test work order into the dispatch queue, assigns a certified inspector, and sends an SMS to the building manager with the proposed test date—ensuring the certificate renews weeks before the inspector shows up.

Elevator Service Industry Overview
Market Context
Three hotel guests are trapped in a stalled elevator cab between the 4th and 5th floors at 11 PM. The hotel manager dials repair companies—if a voicemail answers, the fire department axes through $15,000 worth of cab doors. The first technician who dispatches wins the $1,500 emergency extraction and the building's annual service contract.
AI Automation Use Case
A panicked hotel manager dials at 11 PM—Car 3 is stalled between the 4th and 5th floors with three guests trapped inside. The AI agent answers on the first ring, detects the word "trapped," and fires a maximum-priority override webhook that bypasses all scheduling logic. It asks for the exact cab number and building address, queries the CRM for the building's elevator profile—an Otis Gen2 traction system installed in 2014—and dispatches the on-call technician certified on Otis Gen2 controllers. An SMS with a 20-minute ETA hits the manager's phone in 8 seconds. The AI agent instructs the manager to communicate with the passengers via the cab intercom. The tech arrives, releases the brake, levels the car, and extracts all three guests. A $1,500 emergency response invoice auto-generates at job close.
