Lift Elevator Contractors Association Software

The problem

Where a lift body loses the afternoon

Members are in shafts and machine rooms. The association office still runs on paper renewals and a calling list.

OEM, dealer and AMC roles

One body mixes manufacturers, dealers and service contractors. Fees and papers differ. OEM, dealer and AMC roles need explicit membership treatment.

Fees paid after a site visit

Cash or UPI is collected when a technician is free. Matching the firm later is guesswork. Post-shutdown payments arrive from site numbers finance does not know.

Licence scans in email

Lift licences and GST arrive as attachments. When a tender asks for association proof, last year’s file is missing. Licence PDFs hide in email until a tender deadline.

Safety notes by rumour

A circular about inspection practice is forwarded until half the market never opened it. Safety practice notes fork across OEM dealer inboxes.

Shutdowns beat the meeting

Attendance is a signature sheet while crews are still on call-outs. Call-outs erase meeting attendance more than any other trade.

Who covers which district

A member needs a partner for a multi-site AMC and has to phone the secretary. District cover is arranged by phone tree under pressure.

How Associan helps

Shafts, service firms and one committee file

Only verified Associan features — nothing invented for the lift trade.

Joining form for contractor firms

A service firm applies with company name, GST, city and category from the field office, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.

Licence and trade papers on file

The papers your committee asks for stay with the firm, not in a drawer under manuals, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.

Fees by kind of member

Set separate fees for OEM, dealer and service contractor, each with its own duration, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.

UPI or cash against the same firm

Members pay online. Cash at the desk is recorded against the same member, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.

Safety circulars on one board

Post a safety or meeting note once. Members read it in the app, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.

Find contractors by city

Members search other lift firms by city and category when they need cover, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.

A month with Associan

How the secretary closes the dues round

After a shutdown week the secretary exports firms ending this quarter and sends each a fee link. Site offices that pay the same day receive a numbered receipt PDF.

An AMC contractor uploads licence and GST scans from the machine room office; the committee reviews after hours instead of collecting a file at the next hall meeting.

Safety circulars about inspection practice stay posted between shutdowns, not only in one OEM dealer’s inbox. Quarterly meet: passes scanned at the door, unpaid list already filtered, latest safety circular pinned on the board rather than buried in email. Safety circulars about inspection practice stay posted between shutdowns, not only in one OEM dealer’s inbox.

Where Lift & Elevator Contractors associations use it

New service firm joining. Company details and licences in one form.
Quarterly dues drive. Due list, UPI, cash entry and receipts together.
OEM vs service fees. Separate membership types with their own amounts.
Safety and meeting circulars. One notice board instead of forwarded PDFs.
District cover search. Directory of member contractors by city.
Meeting attendance. QR check-in instead of a register.

What changes

What the lift committee gets back

Receipts that match the firm

Cash at the desk and UPI both post to the same contractor record.

Field-ready member data

Companies update phone and category themselves between call-outs.

Safety notes stay findable

One notice board replaces scattered PDF forwards.

Licence drawer retired

The next secretary opens the same digital file — no bag of printouts.

Case study · National operator association

How All India Car Rentals runs its association on Associan

AICR moved operator joining, fee collection, certificates and chapter-meet check-in onto one white-label app with its own name, logo and CIN on every PDF. Applications, document checks and payments that used to live in WhatsApp groups and spreadsheets now sit in one place the committee can see.
