From Elevator Design to Parts Order Without Starting Over Each Time
Create the BOM for any installation or modernization project. ElevatorPlus links it directly to your purchase orders, inventory, and project cost tracking.
The Real Cost of Manual Material Planning
Manual Re-Entry
Material lists are typed from estimate into PO into inventory — the same data entered three times
Missing Materials on Site
Parts arrive incomplete because nobody verified the full BOM before placing the order
Inaccurate Project Costs
You can't track actual vs. budgeted material cost because there's no linked BOM
BOM to PO to Site — One Connected Flow
BOM Creation
Build the complete list of materials for any project — elevator type, capacity, components, quantities. Includes all parts from main drive to finishing materials.
- ✓Component-level detail
- ✓Quantity & spec tracking

BOM to Purchase Order
With one action, convert the BOM into purchase orders for each supplier. No re-entering item lists. No manual quantity calculation.
BOM to Requisition
Raise a material requisition from the BOM for items already in warehouse stock. Check availability before raising a PO to avoid unnecessary purchases.
BOM to Project Cost
BOM materials are tracked as project costs. See budgeted vs. actual material spend at any project stage.
BOM Templates
Save BOM templates for common elevator types — traction, hydraulic, MRL, home lift. Reuse and modify per project to save time.
Full Integration Chain
BOM → Requisition (warehouse) + PO (supplier) → GRN (received) → Inventory deducted → Project cost updated. One flow, zero manual steps.
Old Way vs. ElevatorPlus BOM Management
| Process | The Old Way | ElevatorPlus |
|---|---|---|
| Material List | ✕Re-entered manually each time | ✓Built once, reused via templates |
| PO Creation | ✕Manual typing from estimate | ✓Auto-generated from BOM |
| Missing Materials | ✕Discovered on site mid-project | ✓Verified before project starts |
| Cost Tracking | ✕Estimated, rarely reconciled | ✓Real-time from BOM to actuals |
| Templates | ✕None — start from scratch each time | ✓Reusable BOM templates by elevator type |
What You Get With BOM Management
Proven outcomes from elevator companies that connected their material planning.
The BOM connects the quotation stage to project execution — materials flow from BOM to PO to GRN to inventory deduction to project cost, with no manual re-entry at any step.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I create BOM templates for different elevator types?
Yes. You can save BOM templates for traction, hydraulic, MRL, home lifts, and any custom configuration. Templates can be reused and modified per project.
Does BOM automatically update project cost when I receive materials?
Yes. When a GRN is recorded, the actual material cost is updated against the project BOM. You can see budgeted vs. actual spend at any point.
Can the BOM check warehouse stock before raising a PO?
Yes. The BOM to Requisition flow checks current warehouse stock first. Items available in stock are raised as internal requisitions. Only genuinely needed items go to PO.
