A CMMS built for industrial mid-market companies that want to run several sites from head office, anticipate breakdowns with AI, and pass an ISO 55001 audit without starting an ERP-scale project. MTBF/MTTR analytics, consolidated multi-site dashboard, deployment in a few days instead of six to twelve months.
Brifay is a CMMS for industrial mid-market companies with 50 to 500 users that runs several sites from head office, without a six- to twelve-month project. Included: embedded predictive AI (at-risk asset detection from your history, no IoT sensors required), MTBF/MTTR analytics, seven hierarchy levels, REST API integrations, SAML SSO, ISO 55001 audit support and data protection through encryption.Powered by Mistral, a French AI, with data hosted in France and the EU: predictive AI, MTBF/MTTR analytics, seven hierarchy levels, REST API integrations, SAML SSO, ISO 55001 audit support and GDPR compliance.Powered by a European AI compliant with GDPR, with data hosted in the EU: predictive AI, MTBF/MTTR analytics, seven hierarchy levels, REST API integrations, SAML SSO, ISO 55001 audit support and data sovereignty.
The right tooling
An SME runs one site and one team. A mid-market company runs a fleet, several teams, an annual audit and integration with the IT stack. The needs do not match.
You don't want ten standalone CMMS databases. You want a head-office view, KPIs per site, and the ability to compare Strasbourg's MTBF to Toulouse's. Seven hierarchy levels cover a multi-site industrial group without workarounds.
A mid-market company has to produce a traceable intervention history, documented preventive plans, signed work orders. That is what ISO 55001 auditors and some industrial insurers expect. Brifay logs everything, exports everything, signs everything.
MTBF, MTTR, breakdown rate, cost per asset, technician workload, preventive completion rate. The maintenance director and the CFO need these figures in real time, not in a spreadsheet compiled every quarter.
REST API, SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, webhooks. A mid-market company has an ERP, an IdP, sometimes a technical supervisor. The CMMS has to talk to these pieces without becoming a data island. The CIO signs off on a documented integration, not on a custom connector.

Predictive AI
Anticipating breakdowns before they happen. Without deploying an IoT sensor on every asset.
Brio reads your fleet's intervention history — breakdown frequency, gaps between scheduled and actual preventive plans, intervention duration — and flags drifting assets. No IoT sensors needed: the data is already inside your CMMS.
Every asset gets a health score from 0 to 100, updated after each intervention. The maintenance director sorts the fleet by descending score and focuses preventive effort where real risk lives.
Every morning, Brio sums up in five lines what deserves your attention: at-risk assets, overdue preventive plans, urgent requests open more than 24 hours, today's load per technician. Reads in 30 seconds, coffee included.
You ask in plain language "which assets had more than three breakdowns this quarter?" and Brio returns the list. No report to configure, no BI training. The query is ad hoc, the answer is immediate.
Brio runs on an embedded AI dedicated to maintenance, with controlled hosting and documented data residency, with prompts specialised by persona (technician, manager, leadership). Your data is never used to train third-party models. Brio runs on Mistral, a French model hosted in Europe, with prompts specialised by persona (technician, manager, leadership). Your data is never used to train third-party models. Brio runs on Mistral, a European model compliant with GDPR, with prompts specialised by persona (technician, manager, leadership). Your data is never used to train third-party models.
Each user gets a monthly Brios quota (an AI usage unit) calibrated to their plan: the Business quota covers normal use by a maintenance director or an active technician. Unused Brios do not roll over. Quota details live on the AI Brio page.
AI can be disabled by role when an internal policy or a confidentiality-bound customer requires it. The AI usage log is exportable for audit.

Multi-site
Consolidated view at head office, drill-down to the asset. Seven hierarchy levels cover an industrial fleet or a mid-market real estate portfolio.
Group, legal entity, site, building, floor, zone, asset. You go from head office down to the pump in four clicks. You go from a ticket back to the group view in two clicks. Rights, reports and costs aggregate at every level.
Every site is tied to its own time zone. Preventive plans, SLAs and reports are expressed in local site time. The head-office dashboard reconsolidates into a reference time zone. A fit for mid-market companies with sites spread across several time zones.A fit for mid-market companies with sites in France, Spain, the Maghreb or Central Europe.A fit for mid-market companies with sites across the EU and the Mediterranean rim.
Strasbourg MTBF vs Toulouse MTBF, intervention cost per asset per site, preventive completion rate. The maintenance director sets an internal benchmark. Drifting sites stand out. Best practices spread.
The site manager sees their site and cannot write on others. The maintenance director sees everything. The CFO sees consolidated costs. The external vendor sees only the contractual scope. Profiles configurable at group or site level.
Management
Four structural indicators in industrial maintenance, plus a conversational dashboard for ad-hoc analysis.
The average time between two breakdowns on an asset. A reliability indicator. Brifay computes MTBF per asset, per asset family and per site. An MTBF drift triggers an automatic preventive alert.
The average time to bring service back after a breakdown. An efficiency indicator for the maintenance team. Brifay computes it per asset, per technician and per intervention type. A rising MTTR points to a skill to reinforce or a spare to stock.
Cumulative cost of parts, internal labour and vendors over time. Helps spot assets that deserve replacement rather than another repair. Data exportable to cost accounting.
For anything that is not a standard KPI, you ask Brio in plain language: "which assets cost more than EUR 5,000 this year?", "which technician has the most urgent breakdowns?". The answer is instant. See the AI page for details.
These indicators are industrial maintenance standards, documented by AFIM (the French maintenance industry association) and ISO 55001 on asset management.
Deployment
A few days self-serve, instead of six to twelve months for traditional ERP-CMMS suites. It is a positioning choice, not a slogan.
You land on an environment already framed for a standard mid-market company: asset types, user profiles, preventive templates. You adapt the scope; you don't build it from a blank sheet.
CSV import of assets, sites, contracts and intervention history. Field mapping is guided. On five mid-sized sites (200 to 500 assets each), plan on a few days for import and review.
REST API, webhooks, SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning. No custom connector to build for standard cases. The CIO team reads the documentation and wires the IdP and the ERP in one to two effective working days.
Brifay is lighter than an ERP-PM. If you need a SAP-PM module or IBM Maximo embedded inside a server farm, Brifay is not the right tool. If you want a modern, mobile, integrable CMMS, yes — and that's what makes deployment short.
ROI
No guaranteed figure — ROI depends on your starting point. Here are the real levers Brifay acts on in an industrial mid-market company.
AI-optimised preventive and at-risk asset detection move a share of corrective into scheduled preventive. Effect observed in 2025-2026 across several industrial maintenance studies: reduction of critical breakdown rate and lower unplanned downtime.
Field voice dictation, auto-classified requests, summarised morning briefing. The technician spends less time typing, the manager less time compiling. The lever is mainly operational, not directly budget-related.
A well-filled intervention (cause, action, part, time) feeds history, which feeds future preventive, which feeds predictive AI. The simpler the app on the field, the higher the completion rate. Brifay is designed for this exact point.
Traceable intervention history, documented preventive plans and signed work orders cut audit preparation time. The CFO sees contained non-compliance risk, the industrial insurer sees a usable file.
For a custom ROI: share your fleet (number of sites, assets, technicians, current breakdown rate) and we will share a quantified estimate with transparent assumptions. That is what the contact page is for.
Frequently asked questions
Brifay integrates through a documented REST API, webhooks, and scheduled CSV imports/exports. Standard cases (syncing assets, posting labour hours, writing costs to cost accounting) are covered. Brifay is not a native SAP-PM module: if you need a module embedded inside SAP, this is not the right tool. If you want a modern CMMS that talks to SAP, Sage or Cegid, yes.
The Business plan is sized for mid-market companies with 50 to 500 internal users and unlimited requesters across every site. Beyond that, an Enterprise plan on quote takes over, with annual commitment, stronger SLA and degressive pricing. Switching between plans is instant, with no data migration. See the pricing page for the breakdown.
Yes, on the Business and Enterprise plans. Brifay supports SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect, so Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), Google Workspace, Okta and most IdPs on the market. User provisioning can be automated via SCIM 2.0 on the Enterprise plan. Configuration takes half a day with your CIO team. More on the security side: see Security & data protectionSecurity & GDPRSecurity & GDPR.
Yes. A documented public REST API with OAuth 2.0 token authentication, transparent rate limiting, and webhooks on the main events (request created, work order closed, preventive alert). Functional coverage: assets, requests, work orders, preventive plans, contracts, costs. A sandbox is available for integration development on the mid-market side.
Yes. Brifay offers structured CSV imports for assets, sites, vendor contracts, intervention history and recurring preventive plans. For mid-market teams leaving Mobility Work, DIMO Maint, Carl Source or an ERP module, migration support is included on the Business and Enterprise plans. Plan on two to four weeks for a five-site migration.
Yes. Each site is tied to its own time zone. Preventive plans, SLAs and reports are expressed in local site time, while the head-office dashboard consolidates into a reference time zone. The mobile app and web interface are available in French, English, Spanish, German and Portuguese, switchable per user.
The Business plan includes a target availability of 99.5% during business hours, priority email support and a contractual response time. The Enterprise plan moves up to 99.9% 24/7, with a named contact, restoration commitments and a monthly availability report. Contractual details are spelled out in the quote.
Brifay supports seven hierarchy levels: group, legal entity, site, building, floor, zone, asset. This covers a multi-site industrial fleet or a real estate portfolio of several thousand records without workarounds. Rights, reports and costs aggregate by level, from head office down to the asset. For pure real estate, see also Facility Management.
You create your account, import a pilot site, measure. If Brifay holds its promises on that scope, you extend to the other sites. If not, you stop with no commitment.
