AI-Powered
Facility Management
That Scales
With FacilityOS, you can start with one or two facilities and scale 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, and streamline daily operations. SwipedOn covers the front desk. FacilityOS covers the facility.
Turnkey Hardware Management
FacilityOS ships fully managed, MDM-enrolled and pre-configured kiosks — iPad, stand, printer, and badges — with a lifetime warranty. SwipedOn is software-only, leaving hardware sourcing, setup, and maintenance to your team.
Integrated Evacuation & Emergency Management
FacilityOS includes a full EmergencyOS module with digital roll call, two-way communication, building sweeps, and automated drill reporting — all connected directly to your visitor data.

Manufacturing & Compliance-Focused Workflows
FacilityOS is built for industrial and regulated environments with contractor management, safety training, PPE tracking, and compliance support for ITAR, ISO, FDA, and GMP.
Strong ROI
FacilityOS customers reach payback in an average of 10 months versus 14 months with SwipedOn. That 4-month difference reflects faster value delivery across more operational areas — not just visitor check-in.

What These Differences Mean in Practice
FacilityOS Is Easy and More Capable
SwipedOn scores slightly higher on G2 for ease of use, setup, and administration — and those scores are real. The honest framing is this: SwipedOn is optimized for simplicity because simplicity is its product. FacilityOS achieves near-identical usability scores while supporting significantly more complex operational requirements. You don't have to choose between easy and capable.
You Reach Payback Four Months Sooner
A 10-month versus 14-month ROI payback period reflects less internal effort, faster adoption, and value that accumulates across more operational areas — not just the front desk. For organizations expanding to additional sites, reaching payback sooner makes the next location easier to justify within the same budget cycle.
The Platform Keeps Pace With Your Requirements
FacilityOS scores 98% on product direction versus SwipedOn's 94% — a 4-point gap that reflects customer confidence in the roadmap. For organizations making a multi-year investment, buying from a vendor whose customers believe it's heading in the right direction matters. SwipedOn serves its market well today; FacilityOS is built to serve a more demanding one for the long term.
Hardware is Part of the Solution
FacilityOS customers rate hardware more highly and benefit from a managed approach that reduces IT burden and limits downtime, especially in operational environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
SwipedOn scores higher than FacilityOS on several G2 metrics. How do you explain that?
SwipedOn genuinely earns those scores — it's a clean, well-executed tool optimized for ease of use in straightforward environments, and its customers reflect that. FacilityOS scores comparably on usability while supporting significantly more complex operational requirements. Where FacilityOS leads is in product direction (98% vs 94%), ROI payback (10 vs 14 months), and the breadth of what the platform can do beyond visitor check-in. The right question isn't which tool is easier — it's which tool matches your operational environment.
SwipedOn goes live faster than FacilityOS. Does that matter?
SwipedOn's sub-month go-live reflects a lightweight, self-service setup. FacilityOS takes approximately one month and uses that time to configure the system to your specific environment — visitor types, compliance rules, approval workflows, and hardware deployment. For a single office with standard requirements, SwipedOn's speed is a genuine advantage. For a multi-site operation with complex workflows, arriving at go-live with a properly configured system is more valuable than arriving quickly with a generic one.
We just need visitor check-in. Isn't SwipedOn the simpler, cheaper option?
If visitor check-in is genuinely the full scope of your requirement — and you're confident it will stay that way — SwipedOn is a capable and well-priced tool. The consideration worth making is whether your requirements are likely to remain that simple. Organizations in regulated industries, those managing contractors on-site, or those facing emergency preparedness obligations typically find the scope expands. FacilityOS lets you start with check-in and grow into those requirements without switching platforms.
Does FacilityOS handle emergencies differently than SwipedOn?
Substantially differently. SwipedOn has no emergency management module — it records who signed in and stops there. FacilityOS includes EmergencyOS: digital roll calls, two-way communication with everyone on-site, building sweeps, automated drill reporting, and real-time hazard alerts, all connected to your live visitor data. In a real incident at a manufacturing plant, pharmaceutical facility, or logistics hub, the difference between a visitor log and a live accountability system is not a feature comparison — it's an operational safety gap.
What about mail management — SwipedOn scores higher there?
The G2 data shows SwipedOn at 81% for mail management versus FacilityOS at 69%. SwipedOn includes basic delivery management within its visitor platform. FacilityOS handles mail and package management through LogisticsOS — a dedicated module with inbound mail processing, parcel tracking, interoffice shipping, and AI-assisted receiving. The G2 comparison reflects different scopes: SwipedOn's score covers a lightweight delivery feature; FacilityOS's score reflects a more complex, enterprise-grade logistics system that some organizations rate differently depending on how they use it.
Can we start with FacilityOS for visitor management and expand later?
Yes. FacilityOS is designed to grow with your operational requirements. Start with VisitorOS for visitor check-in and add ContractorOS for compliance management, 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. SwipedOn's roadmap is focused on the visitor and workplace experience; FacilityOS's is focused on operational complexity.
