Elevator diaries: High Achiever
Cloud connectivity makes elevators smart – and gives them their own voices. In the Elevator Diaries series, you get the chance to hear from them directly.
Ding, ground floor. It’s my pleasure to be elevating you today. As we ride, let me tell you all about the digital services provided by cloud connectivity – after all, they’re what gives me my voice and turns me into the High Achiever among elevators.
I’ve always been the one reaching up for the higher floors, working tirelessly to take the go-getters and the can-doers to their open spaces and conference rooms.
I’m an ambitious elevator, ready to learn and adapt. And the more I watched my passengers, with their tablets and smartphones, the more I wondered – could this be the next big thing for me, too? Luckily, I’m serviced by Schindler – who make it really easy to keep up with the times.
They have Schindler ActionBoard – a digital dashboard with a complete overview of all contract data, invoices, and maintenance logs – meaning my supervisor has direct access to everything that’s relevant, in one convenient place. So now it’s much easier for them to make all the right decisions without spending a lot of time going through all the paperwork. As I like to say – reach for the stars instead of getting tangled in red tape!
For me, "streamline the workflow" aren’t just buzzwords I hear on the daily. ActionBoard offers direct submission of service requests – the optimal solution for those who are too busy for phone calls but want to be sure the right people are on top of their tasks straight away. Oh, and allow me to let you in on a little secret – our CFO loves it, because it’s free!
One day, a Schindler service technician gave me a Cube – my own personal gadget to open up the world of connectivity. I tell you, I could make a 50-page slide deck about all the ways the digital services make me even more efficient, but I’m sure you don’t have a big enough slot in your calendar for that. Let me just tell you this – with the Cube, all my performance data became available on the dashboard too.
Now my manager doesn’t just know I’m at my peak performance – they’ve got all the graphs and charts to prove it. And if I’m ever not rising to the challenge, they’ll spot it instantly. But of course, Schindler will know about it even before them, and will implement optimization measures immediately. It’s nice to know your manager never has to worry about you, right?
Ding, top floor. This is you! I’d love to catch up again soon. Wishing you a very efficient day!
