SenseStack vs a Building Management System
Larger hotels and leisure centres often already have a BMS running the plant room. That is a control system: it drives boilers, air handling and pumps against setpoints. It is not built to tell a duty manager whether cabin three is ready for a 7am booking. The two are complementary, not competing.

Building management systems
SenseStack
Primary job
Control plant to a setpoint across the building.
Report readiness of individual guest-facing assets.
Granularity
Zone or plant level — a whole spa area is often one zone.
Per cabin, per plunge, per asset.
Audience
Facilities and maintenance engineers.
Front-of-house staff, duty managers and owners.
Install
Integrator project, tied into building services.
Non-invasive external mounting, typically under 30 minutes per asset.
Cost model
Capital project plus integrator time for every change.
Per-asset subscription, changes made in the dashboard.
Coexistence
Keeps controlling the plant.
Sits alongside as the readiness and record layer.
Keep the BMS controlling the plant. SenseStack answers the question a BMS was never designed for: can we open this cabin right now, and can we prove it held.
