Coswin

Coswin is the CMMS and EAM software range of Siveco Group, which says it has been developing maintenance management software since 1986. The core product, Coswin 8i, covers maintenance, stocks, purchasing and cost control, is multilingual with time-zone and currency handling, and can be deployed on premise or as a SaaS subscription.

Around it sit Coswin Nom@d, a mobile app that works with or without a network and reads barcodes and QR codes, Coswin Open, a web app for service requests from building occupants, and modules for IoT, BIM, business intelligence, GIS and process automation. Sector versions exist for industry, pharmaceuticals, food, healthcare, energy, transport, water and local authorities.

The legal notice names Siveco Group, a French société anonyme with share capital of EUR 2,580,638.52, registered in Versailles under B 334 983 087 at 10-14 rue Joël le Theule, 78180 Montigny-le-Bretonneux.

The group lists ten subsidiaries and affiliated companies, including offices in Belgium, Spain, Italy, Greece, Romania, Switzerland, Brazil and, through Pilog Americas, the United States. The legal notice names a dedicated OVH server for the website only; where the SaaS application is hosted is not stated, and the pages read show an ISO 9001 logo but no information security certification.

Siveco publishes no price and no trial; the route in is a demo request, followed by a project method chosen from agile, waterfall, hybrid or Pack Ready.

Pack Ready is a pre-configured Coswin 8i with seven user profiles, multi-site support and 24 performance indicators for companies with limited time and resources. Coswin fits an industrial plant, a hospital group or a municipality that wants deployment choice and a vendor with four decades in the field. A team that expects self-service sign-up and a visible price list will find the Siveco pages thin on that.

What Coswin does well

• Coswin 8i can be deployed on premise or as a SaaS subscription according to the vendor
• The Coswin Nom@d mobile app works with or without a network and supports barcodes and QR codes
• Coswin Open lets building occupants raise service requests by QR code without being Coswin users
• Siveco Group SA is identified with a Versailles register number and a Montigny-le-Bretonneux address
• The Pack Ready method offers a pre-configured deployment for teams with limited time and resources

Where Coswin falls short

• Siveco publishes no prices and no trial on the pages read
• The hosting location of the Coswin SaaS offer is not stated
• No information security certification was found, only an ISO 9001 logo without a scope
• Siveco Group includes a US subsidiary, Pilog Americas, in Texas, and the pages read do not describe the group ownership

Standout feature. Coswin combines on-premise or SaaS deployment with an offline mobile app and a service-request web app, from a French group that dates its CMMS work to 1986.
