Lift and elevator quotes in 1 minute.

Dictate it from the plant room while the lift's still open: 'Emergency callout, door lock switch failure, replace switch and reset controller, R1,850.' Send the link before you're back in the van. The trustees get something in writing without you losing half an hour on paperwork.

Dictate the full breakdown with parts and labour separated, the way a managing agent expects to see it: 'Governor rope replacement, 1 unit, R4,200. Labour and testing, 6 hours at R580 per hour.' A clear, itemised WhatsApp quote moves through a trustee meeting faster than a scanned PDF invoice.

Yes. Save your standard contract as a template, monthly or quarterly rate included, and send it to a new building in under a minute. For the callouts and part replacements that come up between service visits, dictate those separately as they happen.

Break it down: 'Controller board, sourced from supplier, R22,000. Fitting and commissioning, 2 days, R580 per hour.' When the client sees the part cost separated from your labour, a big number stops looking like a markup and starts looking like the actual part.

Send the quote by WhatsApp the moment you've diagnosed the fault. Most trustees or facilities managers can approve from their phone in minutes, especially when the lift is out of service and residents are complaining. That's often faster than email.

Once it's accepted, you send a PayShap payment request straight to the managing agent's or body corporate's banking app, or they pay by EFT and send proof of payment. There's no card checkout and no financing plan for South Africa, but a PayShap request is usually settled the same day.
