How Does Avetta
Compare with FacilityOS?
FacilityOS is an AI-powered facility management platform built for organizations that operate beyond a traditional office — where safety, security, compliance and efficiency are mission-critical.
Trusted by 7,000+ facilities in 70+ countries, FacilityOS automates key processes, simplifies regulatory compliance, enhances security measures, and optimizes facility operations.

Avetta is a supply chain risk management (SCRM) network built around a large prequalification database — connecting clients with a network of 130,000+ suppliers across 120+ countries to qualify contractors, verify documentation, and monitor safety, ESG, and financial risk centrally. Contractor compliance lives in the network; on-site enforcement is not part of the model.

What Makes FacilityOS a Better

Compliance That's Enforced, Not Just Verified in a Database
Avetta is strong at the verification layer — its network collects COIs, training records, and safety documentation and monitors them centrally at scale. But a compliant record in a supplier database doesn't stop a non-compliant contractor from walking onto your floor. With FacilityOS, ContractorOS connects directly to VisitorOS: when a contractor's insurance has lapsed or training has expired, they're flagged or denied at check-in — not discovered later in a portal review. That's the difference between a tracking network and a control system.
Turnkey Hardware Management
FacilityOS ships fully managed, MDM-enrolled, pre-configured kiosks (iPad, stand, printer, badges) with a lifetime warranty, so on-site enforcement works out of the box. Avetta is a software-only network — it has no on-site enforcement hardware. Any gate or lobby enforcement requires your team to source, configure, and maintain separate hardware or bolt on a third-party visitor system.
Integrated Emergency & Evacuation Accountability
Knowing which contractors are qualified is half the job. Knowing which contractors are on-site right now — and accounting for them during an evacuation — is the other half. FacilityOS feeds contractor check-in data directly into EmergencyOS for digital roll calls, two-way communication, building sweeps, and automated drill reporting. In Avetta, supplier records and real-time site presence live in entirely different worlds; there is no integrated mustering or on-site headcount.

Built for Facility & Security Compliance, Not Just Supply-Chain Risk
Avetta is purpose-built for supply-chain risk and procurement — and it's a credible choice for that buyer, especially where a large pre-vetted supplier pool matters. FacilityOS is built for the broader compliance reality of regulated facilities: ITAR visitor controls, GMP and FDA documentation, FSMA and SQF requirements, CTPAT security programs. If your obligations span safety, security, and regulatory access control at the site, a supply-chain risk network covers only one slice.

What These Differences Mean in Practice
You Close the Gap Between "Compliant on Paper" and "Compliant on Site"
The most common failure mode in contractor compliance isn't missing documents — it's the disconnect between the compliance record and the front gate. Avetta tells your procurement team which suppliers are qualified. FacilityOS makes that determination at the moment of entry, automatically. That's the difference between a verification network and a control system.
You Deploy in Weeks
Avetta value is tied to network enrollment — getting your suppliers into the platform and through prequalification, a process reviewers frequently describe as time-consuming. FacilityOS customers report going live in one month, and you can start with ContractorOS alone and expand later.
Your Contractors Become Visible During Emergencies.
For any facility where emergency preparedness is audited — or where knowing who is on-site during an incident is a regulatory requirement — integrated mustering is the difference between having a plan and having a system. FacilityOS contractor check-ins flow into digital roll call automatically. With Avetta, that visibility requires a separate visitor or mustering solution and an integration project.
Hardware Is Managed, Not Delegated
Enforcing compliance at the door requires something physically at the door. FacilityOS ships pre-configured, MDM-enrolled kiosks with a lifetime warranty. With Avetta, there is no enforcement hardware in the model at all — hardware sourcing, configuration, and maintenance fall entirely to your team, or compliance enforcement stays a manual process at the gate.
Frequently Asked Questions
We already use Avetta. Can FacilityOS work alongside it instead of replacing it?
Yes. FacilityOS integrates directly with Avetta, so the two don't have to be an either/or decision. Avetta can remain your system of record for qualifying contractors and suppliers, while FacilityOS becomes the enforcement layer: VisitorOS automatically validates a contractor's Avetta compliance status at check-in, flagging or denying anyone whose standing has lapsed, and then feeds their on-site presence into EmergencyOS for real-time mustering. In other words, Avetta tells you who should be allowed on-site, and FacilityOS enforces that at the door and accounts for them during an emergency — the operational layer Avetta's network model doesn't cover on its own. For teams not already invested in Avetta, ContractorOS delivers verification and enforcement natively, without the network-fee model.
Avetta has the largest contractor network in the industry. What does FacilityOS actually do better?
Avetta earns its reputation for the scale of its supplier network and its strength in procurement and supply-chain risk monitoring. Where FacilityOS pulls ahead is the operational layer: contractor compliance that's enforced at site entry rather than verified in a central database, native integration with visitor management and emergency mustering, turnkey kiosk hardware, and a faster path to go-live. If the question is "are this supplier's documents current across our network?", Avetta answers it well. If the question is "can a non-compliant contractor get onto our floor right now?", only FacilityOS answers it by design.
We're currently considering Avetta. Why would we choose FacilityOS instead?
The most useful question is who owns the problem. If contractor compliance is primarily a procurement and supply-chain risk program — and you need a large pre-vetted supplier pool with centralized ESG and financial monitoring — Avetta is a credible network. If contractor compliance is an operational and security problem owned by site managers, facility teams, and security leads — where verification has to happen at the gate, contractors must be accounted for in emergencies, and compliance spans ITAR, GMP, FSMA, and CTPAT as well as OSHA — FacilityOS is the more defensible long-term decision.
Avetta has AI-powered document verification. Does FacilityOS?
Yes. FacilityOS is an AI-powered platform with automated document workflows, expiration management, and real-time notifications across ContractorOS — plus Beacon AI capabilities across the platform. The difference isn't whether AI reviews documents; it's what happens after review. In FacilityOS, an approved or expired status immediately changes what happens when that contractor arrives at your facility.
Do our contractors have to pay to participate?
No. FacilityOS is a client-funded platform — your contractors aren't charged a network fee to be compliant with you. Avetta operates a network model in which suppliers and contractors typically pay recurring fees to join and maintain their standing, a cost that appears regularly in user reviews and can create friction with the contractors you rely on.
What happens to contractor data during an emergency with each platform?
With Avetta, compliance records live in the supplier network — there is no integrated, real-time accountability for who is physically on-site. With FacilityOS, contractor check-in data feeds directly into EmergencyOS, enabling digital roll calls, two-way communication, building sweeps, and automated drill reporting. For audited facilities, that integration is the difference between having records and having accountability.
Can we start with just contractor compliance and add more later?
Yes — and this is one of FacilityOS's structural advantages. Start with ContractorOS, then add VisitorOS for check-in, EmergencyOS for evacuation and drill readiness, LogisticsOS for mailroom and asset management, or SecurityOS for physical identity and access control — all within the same platform, without switching vendors or migrating data. Avetta expansion deepens your supply-chain risk program; FacilityOS expansion deepens your control over the facility itself.
Does FacilityOS source new suppliers the way Avetta does?
No — and that's an honest scope difference. Avetta's network is built for discovering and qualifying new suppliers at scale; if sourcing from a large pre-vetted pool is your primary requirement, Avetta is worth evaluating for that. FacilityOS is built for the contractors and vendors already coming to your sites: verifying them before entry, enforcing requirements at the door, and accounting for everyone on-site.
