Facility Management
That Scales
FacilityOS goes well beyond visitor sign-in. The same platform covers contractor compliance, emergency and evacuation management, mail and asset logistics, and physical identity — all in one system with shared data and workflows.
Turnkey Hardware Management
FacilityOS ships fully managed, MDM-enrolled kiosks — iPad, stand, printer, and badges — pre-configured and covered by a lifetime warranty. Visitly is software-only, leaving hardware sourcing and maintenance to the customer.
Integrated Evacuation & Emergency Management
FacilityOS includes a full EmergencyOS module with digital roll call, two-way communication, automated drill reporting, and real-time hazard alerts. Visitly has no equivalent emergency response capability.

Compliance-Focused Workflows
Built for industrial and regulated environments with contractor management, safety training, PPE tracking, and compliance support for ITAR, ISO, FDA, and GMP — requirements that a lightweight visitor tool like Visitly is not designed to meet.
Same go-live timeline. More depth delivered.
Both platforms average approximately one month to go live. The difference is what you have at the end of that month. FacilityOS delivers a system configured for complex workflows and built to support audits, safety procedures, and future expansion — not just a basic check-in setup.
Solution Tailored to Regulated Environments
The platform can be tailored and easily adapted to how your sites actually run, including visitor types, routing, approvals, and policy steps.
Strong Operational Readiness
Built to support audits, safety workflows, and future expansion means the system is designed to produce reliable records, support repeatable processes, and reduce gaps when requirements change.
Platform That Grows With You
Visitor management that does not limit what comes next means you can start with basic check-in today without boxing yourself into a tool you will outgrow.
What These Differences Mean in Practice
No Need to Trade Speed for Capability
Both platforms average one month to go live. The difference is that FacilityOS arrives fully configured to support complex workflows within that same timeframe — not a basic setup that leaves customization for later.
The System Holds Up as Your Requirements Evolve
Visitly performs well for straightforward office check-in. FacilityOS is designed for environments where visitor data needs to support audits, safety procedures, compliance workflows, or integration with broader facility systems.
You Avoid an Early Re-Evaluation
Visitly works well for lightweight use cases — but many organizations switch platforms once they outgrow basic check-in. FacilityOS is built to scale with your evolving needs, so you won't face the cost and disruption of replacing your visitor management system as requirements grow.
What to Expect With FacilityOS
A visitor management platform built for operational facilities, not standard office lobbies. FacilityOS is built for organizations that require visitor management to support real operational requirements — across manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and other regulated and complex environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Both go live in the same timeframe — why does that favor FacilityOS?
Because the end result is not the same. FacilityOS delivers a configured rollout ready to support complex environments. Visitly delivers a simpler setup that may require a platform change later as needs grow.
Is FacilityOS harder to use than Visitly?
No. On G2, FacilityOS scores 94% for ease of use, ahead of Visitly at 91%. Greater depth does not mean greater complexity for end users.
What if our visitor management needs are simple today?
Many organizations start with simple requirements. FacilityOS allows you to begin with basic visitor check-in and expand to contractor compliance, emergency management, and logistics when you're ready — without switching platforms.
Does Visitly work well for basic visitor needs?
Yes. Visitly is a competent tool for straightforward office check-in. FacilityOS is typically chosen when teams need a solution that can grow with their organization and support operational requirements beyond a standard lobby.
How does the hardware difference affect day-to-day operations?
FacilityOS ships pre-configured, MDM-managed kiosks with a lifetime warranty — your team doesn't need to source, configure, or maintain hardware. With Visitly, hardware procurement, setup, and replacement are the customer's responsibility.
