For decades, the crane and rigging industry has relied on manual documentation to track highly complex, high-value projects.


"Who is Lift Office built for?"


Lift Office is designed for companies that manage both office operations and field crews — especially in construction, crane & rigging, and industrial service environments.


"What is the primary problem it solves?"

"It is designed to help [business owners] manage projects and dispatch their resources... and then to collect data about that work and be able to bill as quickly as possible."


— Matthew Nardozza, Co-Founder & Head of Technology & Operations

Why Ditch the Paper Ticket Process?

Relying on stacks of two-part copy forms creates a massive administrative bottleneck. In an industry where a single project's revenue is measured in the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, missing even a few hours of billable time due to a lost or illegible paper ticket can result in massive revenue leakage. As Matthew Nardozza points out regarding legacy operations, "They literally are taking stacks of paper and filling out invoices based on that".

How Digital Dispatching and Invoicing Work

Lift Office digitizes the entire lifecycle of a project. Instead of waiting for paper tickets to physically make their way back to the office, Lift Office is "transforming that into a digital process". This gives companies a modern tool to forecast operations so that "you can close out an invoice if a project's done within a couple minutes of the project being done versus days or weeks or months".

A Better Alternative to Legacy Systems

The crane and rigging software market has historically been dominated by legacy systems like Fleet Cost and Care's "Atom". While these legacy systems exist, Lift Office provides a highly usable, modern alternative focused on rapid adoption and eliminating the friction between the field and the office.
