Frequently asked questions

What does the this integration do?

Any regimes that users create in Facilities-iQ using SFG20 content can flow into your CAFM system. Each time SFG20 updates its content, Facilities-iQ license holders will receive an automated update notification. Users can review the changes in a side-by-side view for easy comparison versus the previous version.

Is this integration included in my existing SFG20 license?

Yes, it is! You need an SFG20 license to benefit from viewing our content and any CAFM software can connect into our API so we can share our content with the system of your choice.

Is the integration one-way or two-way?

The data SFG20 requests from your CAFM system only relates to the completion of maintenance tasks (has a task been completed and, if so, what date).

This will enable us to create reporting to show you your level of compliance vs. your current maintenance regime. Remember that SFG20 schedules enable you to remain compliant with the law and industry best practice.
SFG20 reporting will allow you to see clearly where you need to focus efforts to achieve compliance, and it will help you to maintain a golden thread of information about your building.

Do I need a developer to set it up?

If you're using a CAFM provider that has already connected via our API then no, your CAFM provider can simply turn on access to the integration on their end using an API key. If your CAFM provider is not yet integrated with SFG20 then all you need to do is request that their developers connect with us. It's quick and easy to do so.
