Elevator and escalator consulting firms are moving from periodic reports to continuous data on equipment condition. ATIS has acquired AuditMate to give owners and managers a daily view of vendor activity and expert support for acting on it.
CREVE COEUR, Mo., Oct. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Building owners and property managers weighing elevators and escalators consulting companies increasingly want a provider whose recommendations draw on information that stays current. In August, ATIS announced its acquisition of AuditMate, which builds software for auditing and managing elevators. ATIS now combines its consulting, inspections and managed services with that technology.
Why Is Elevator Oversight Moving Beyond Periodic Reporting?
Periodic reporting falls short because it only captures an elevator on a single day. Performance shifts between visits. With inspection findings, vendor service logs and invoices often sitting in separate places, an owner with several buildings can struggle to compare conditions across a portfolio. Problems often surface after an outage.
Continuous data narrows those gaps by showing patterns as they develop. Between formal reviews, consultants and managers can respond sooner.
What Does AuditMate Change for Owners and Property Managers?
AuditMate delivers data refreshed every 24 hours straight from vendors. Backed by code expertise rooted in its origins as an inspection company, ATIS adds consultants to help interpret the results.
ATIS CEO Jim Fox says the company is creating "a smarter, more transparent operating model that drives better performance for our clients and elevates safety and reliability for the riding public."
The announcement points to three outcomes:
- Portfolio visibility: All building records are in one place.
- Contract oversight: Clearer information supports review of maintenance contracts and the service behind them.
- Informed decisions: With sharper insight, owners can begin identifying ways to improve compliance and uptime and to lower operating costs.
