What makes Facilio a better enterprise choice than Brightly?

Enterprise portfolios need more than a CMMS. Facilio scales effortlessly across global sites, integrates with BMS, IoT, and ERP tools, and centralizes visibility. Unlike Brightly, which often silos modules, Facilio unites them for command‑center control over work orders, energy, and costs.
