With decades of experience in the field of elevators, they are able to completely unburden you regarding your elevator. Astralift's specialization starts with the tailor-made delivery of a lift installation up to and including a trusted and healthy view of maintenance. By combining this with open communication with customers, they are able to operate your elevator installation safely and reliably, and that too at a favorable rate. Astralift is located in Bleiswijk and is continuously looking for innovative products and solutions for its customers. With the help of carefully selected suppliers, Astralift as a company is equipped for the entire life cycle of the lift: From new construction to preventive and corrective maintenance, from repair to modernization and then to replacement of the entire lift installation. Taking responsibility for the entire lift life cycle is Astralift's passion! My role as Contract Manager means that I am the point of contact for concluding new or amending existing service contracts. Based on a clear and concrete need that a customer has, I will propose a tailor-made service contract. We also make agreements about monitoring the agreed KPIs and adjust the contracts if there is reason to do so. Show less

I share this knowledge with the market via the internetoflifts.com website because we believe in an open and transparent way of working (together). As we see around us, the world is changing rapidly. Long-time market leaders like Kodak, Nokia and Polaroid are suddenly disappearing and new companies seem to be popping up almost daily. All because of a phenomenon called “Technological Disruption”. A phenomenon that significantly changes the way consumers, industries or companies operate. This also happens in the elevator market and whether you operate in that world as a maintenance company or as an end user of elevators, this phenomenon also has consequences for you! That's why we decided to build a comparison website. Show less

(Liftmanager®, Liftboxs®, Liftboxs®-Door). How do you achieve a more efficient, cheaper and sustainable way of elevator maintenance in collaboration with Liftinsight. The maintenance method does not become smart just by placing sensors. It is mainly about what you can do with the data and how you need to change the business processes in order to get the maximum return from the new way of working. Liftinsight is a strategic supplier of a complete elevator maintenance ecosystem that helps to achieve healthy and future-proof business operations. In a market that is becoming more competitive and impersonal, we provide companies with insight into their maintenance file. We do this with sensor technology: a free software package called Liftmanager® and universally applicable sensors that further expand the possibilities of this software package. By knowing exactly when an elevator requires maintenance, we save customers valuable time. The time savings that we create translate into a better return or a stronger competitive position. And a lower environmental impact. Show less
