Portfolio Management

At The Lift Consultancy, we understand the importance of reliable and efficient vertical transportation in any building or facility. That’s why we offer comprehensive portfolio management services for lifts, escalators, and moving walkways. Our experienced lift consultants are dedicated to ensuring that your vertical transportation portfolio is performing at its best.

With our portfolio management service, we provide real-time data analysis to identify any potential issues and make recommendations for improvements. We review and monitor your portfolio’s performance, proactively identifying and addressing any recurring problems. Our team can also attend monthly meetings to provide updates and insights into your vertical transportation assets.

In addition to performance monitoring, we also review lift company invoices or claims, ensuring that you’re only paying for the services that are not covered under your maintenance agreement.

Our portfolio management services are designed to take the stress out of managing your vertical transportation assets. With our expertise and dedication, you can trust that your lifts, escalators, and moving walkways are in good hands.

The Lift Consultancy (TLC) understands the value of having access to lift companies’ back-of-house software to provide clients with a transparent and live view of their Vertical Transportation Maintenance portfolio. As part of TLC’s commitment to delivering the best service to our clients, the access to such software is incorporated as a necessary component in any maintenance tender formulated by TLC. This enables TLC to effectively interpret and utilise the information provided by the lift companies software to quickly assess the performance of the Vertical Transportation and address any potential or reoccurring issues. This gives TLC a unique advantage in reviewing our clients’ portfolios in ‘real time’, providing recommendations before potential issues occur.

FAQs

Q: Do I have to use the original installing company to service my Lifts, Escalators, Moving Walkways?

A: No you don’t, there are many choices now depending upon the type of equipment.

Q: Are there any restrictions to servicing by 3rd party companies?

A: Some of the newer equipment may have a lockout tool or software lockout which will require the original installing company to attend to site if required.
