BuildingReports vs HiveSuite

BuildingReports provides mobile and online tools for collecting fire and life safety inspection data and creating verifiable compliance reports. ScanSeries applications support inspection and reporting for fire, life safety, and security systems, using barcode scanning to document maintenance of facility assets. BRForms lets teams create, customize, and distribute digital forms from a library of more than 100 templates. ManagerSeries handles inspection scheduling, field staff dispatch and tracking, service tickets, and email or SMS notifications. ComplianceAssistant consolidates contractor inspection, preventive maintenance, and service reports to show asset status across properties. ComplianceCenter is a free web reporting hub for fire and life safety officials. The API lets third-party systems access BuildingReports data and services; the company describes current integrations as two-way and names Salesforce, IROL, NYC FDNY, Dynamics, and BRYCER. BuildingReports says Service Members own collected data and that reporting data is stored in its own environment. The platform supports Android, iOS, web, and API access. BuildingReports was founded in 2000 and is based in Suwanee, Georgia. ScanSeries pricing requires contacting the company, and licensing can cover one application, multiple applications, or the full suite.
