Client comment


"Accord Lifts has over 2500 lifts in its service portfolio, since installing ESM I really do not know how we ever coped without it. We have saved on administration and accounts salaries, office filing space and saved money overall. The system is totally interactive and allows complete control of our service from breakdowns and repairs to operations and invoicing. As the system was designed for the elevator industry our staff found it very easy to use from day one. ESM allows us to run our business proactively and be one step ahead of the game."
