SensIa : an alternative to FacilityOne for smart building supervision

FacilityOne is a North American building operations and maintenance platform, strongly CMMS-oriented and work-order focused. SensIa brings a native IoT + 3D BIM + AI approach, more modern on sensor protocols. Here's a factual comparison.

Who uses FacilityOne?

FacilityOne is primarily adopted by North American real estate portfolio managers — universities, hospitals, multi-site retail, enterprise real estate. The historical positioning is centered on CMMS (Computerised Maintenance Management System): asset tracking, work orders, preventive scheduling, field technician management.

The target audience is more operations / maintenance than pure IoT: users are facility managers, maintenance technicians, planners. The real-time IoT layer is a recent extension, not the historical core.

Why consider SensIa vs FacilityOne

If you're a FacilityOne user looking elsewhere, it's probably for one of these reasons:

  • You need native real-time IoT — LoRaWAN / Zigbee sensors, live dashboards, sub-second alarms — and FacilityOne's IoT layer isn't enough
  • You want a 3D BIM digital twin where your sensors are visually placed in space, not just on 2D plans
  • You want native AI predictive maintenance (RUL, unsupervised anomalies) without paying for a separate module
  • You want transparent self-service pricing without personalised quote for each evolution

Note: FacilityOne remains stronger on field CMMS (work-order workflows, native mobile app, technician management). SensIa targets IoT supervision more than operational CMMS.

Key stack differences

Functional domain. FacilityOne is primarily a CMMS extended to IoT. SensIa is primarily an IoT smart building platform that can trigger external tickets via webhook.

Data model. FacilityOne revolves around the asset and work order. SensIa revolves around the sensor / equipment and real-time measurement.

Analytics approach. SensIa natively integrates 3D BIM and predictive AI (RUL, MTBF, anomalies). FacilityOne offers these features via add-on modules depending on the tier chosen.

Pricing. FacilityOne operates on personalised quotes, no public pricing. SensIa publishes its 5 plans in self-service.

Coexistence and migration

If you already use FacilityOne for CMMS and want to add SensIa for real-time IoT:

  1. Coexistence by webhook — SensIa rules can trigger work-order creation in FacilityOne via webhook when an alarm fires. SensIa does real-time IoT, FacilityOne does CMMS
  2. Pilot on a building — equip one building with LoRaWAN and Zigbee sensors, onboard SensIa, keep FacilityOne for CMMS. Evaluate 2-3 months
  3. Progressive switch — if you want to consolidate on SensIa, plan a CMMS layer upgrade (later roadmap phase)

Who SensIa fits best vs FacilityOne

SensIa is the right answer if:

  • Your priority is real-time IoT supervision and 3D BIM, not work-order management
  • You want public self-service pricing without personalised quote
  • You're in Europe and France GDPR hosting is a criterion
  • You want native AI predictive maintenance without add-on module

FacilityOne remains relevant if:

  • Your core business is extended CMMS (work orders, technician management, field mobile)
  • You operate primarily in North America
  • You need a native mobile app for field technicians (SensIa's PWA is responsive but not a native app)

Frequently asked questions

Does SensIa replace a full CMMS like FacilityOne?
Not in V1. SensIa has a basic alert / intervention layer (simple work-order creation, user assignment) but not the full CMMS arsenal (technician management, parts inventory, preventive contracts, native field mobile). If CMMS is your #1 need, FacilityOne remains stronger. SensIa can send webhooks to FacilityOne to trigger work orders.
How does SensIa handle work orders?
SensIa offers a simple ticket / intervention layer tied to alerts: when an alarm fires, you can acknowledge it, assign it to a team member, add notes, and resolve it. Sufficient for lightweight ticketing. For industrial CMMS (inventory management, preventive scheduling, field mobile), SensIa integrates via webhook to a dedicated CMMS.
Where does SensIa host my data vs FacilityOne?
SensIa hosts in France (OVH cloud), GDPR by design, European hosting. FacilityOne hosts primarily in the US (AWS / Azure US). For European organisations subject to GDPR or French sovereignty requirements (public admin, healthcare, banking), this is a discriminating criterion.
Why doesn't FacilityOne publish its pricing?
FacilityOne operates a personalised enterprise commercial model based on park size, modules chosen and onboarding level. SensIa makes the opposite bet: pricing transparency (Free, €49, €149, €399, Enterprise), self-service up to the Pro+ plan, without mandatory commercial call.
