Facility Management That Scales to a Full AI-Powered Facility Management Platform
With FacilityOS, you can start small with just one or two facilities, and scale up to AI-Powered facility management across your enterprise. One integrated system to track visitors, manage contractor compliance, optimize mail and assets, automate compliance workflows, strengthen emergency preparedness, identify risks early, respond faster to incidents, and streamline daily operations.
Turnkey Hardware Management
FacilityOS ships fully managed, MDM-enrolled and pre-configured kiosks (iPad, stand, printer, badges) with lifetime warranty, so customers avoid sourcing and maintaining their own hardware.
Integrated Evacuation & Emergency Management
FacilityOS moves beyond basic emergency notifications, with a full EmergencyOS module that includes digital roll call, two-way communication, and automated drill reporting.
Manufacturing & Compliance-Focused Workflows
FacilityOS is built for industrial and regulated environments with features like contractor management, safety training, PPE tracking, and compliance support (ITAR, ISO, FDA, GMP), which go beyond Envoy’s office-focused feature set.
Stronger Overall Experience
Higher ratings across administration, setup, and partnership. That shows up in day to day use, especially for teams responsible for maintaining workflows and supporting multiple stakeholders.
More Capable Visitor Workflows
Higher G2 scores across automation, badge issuance, integrations, and multilingual support. This matters when requirements vary by site, visitor type, or language, and processes need to stay consistent.
Enterprise Readiness
Visitor management that supports audits, compliance, and expansion. It gives teams the controls and reporting needed to scale without reworking processes every time a new site comes online.
Hands-On Support
A managed approach designed for teams that cannot afford downtime or guesswork. This reduces operational risk by keeping deployments, hardware, and ongoing changes from becoming an internal burden.
Visitor Workflows Hold Up As Complexity Increases
Higher scores in automation, badge issuance, integrations, and multilingual support reflect a system designed for more than simple front-desk check-in. This matters when facilities support multiple visitor types, languages, and compliance requirements.
Less Operational Overhead for IT & Site Teams
FacilityOS is designed to reduce the need for teams to manage devices or troubleshoot issues. For organizations with limited IT resources, or who need their IT teams working on more critical work, this translates to fewer interruptions and less manual effort.
Reporting & Visibility Support Audits
Stronger ratings in reporting, analytics, and visitor database capabilities point to better access to historical data, as well as day-to-day visibility, which is critical for audits, investigations, and operational reviews.
What to Expect with FacilityOS
FacilityOS earns higher ratings for admin, setup, and partnership, and delivers more capable visitor workflows like automation, integrations, and multilingual support. It is built for enterprise scale with audit ready compliance and hands on managed support to reduce downtime.
