Elevator Inspections

Elevator Inspection Management, Modernized

Manage CAT1 and CAT5 testing workflows, track elevator equipment across buildings, and automate DOB compliance reporting — purpose-built for elevator inspection companies.

Challenges You Face Every Day

Sound familiar? KomplyOS was built to solve exactly these problems.

Complex Testing Schedules

Coordinating annual CAT1 and five-year CAT5 testing across a large building portfolio is a logistical nightmare without dedicated scheduling tools.

Paper Test Reports

Handwritten CAT1 and CAT5 test reports are hard to organize, easy to lose, and make DOB filing preparation slow and error-prone.

Multi-Building Complexity

Tracking elevator equipment, inspection history, and compliance status across 20+ buildings in a spreadsheet leads to missed deadlines and violations.

Equipment Lifecycle Gaps

Without a system to track elevator age, modernization history, and component replacements, planning maintenance and predicting failures is guesswork.
