Compare honestly. Choose lucidly.
You already know iObeya. You have seen Fabriq. You have lived through the consultants' Excel and slide decks. This page is not a sales pitch — it is the side-by-side you would have built yourself if you had the time.

ProBeya is positioned as a dual-mode Industrial OS. Mode 1 runs the structured transformation program — the kind a consultancy would lead — and produces auditable change. Mode 2 takes over the day after the program closes and becomes the daily operating system on the shopfloor. Same data, same people, same product.
This page compares both modes truthfully. We do not invent gaps in competitor products and we do not flatten our own. Where iObeya is stronger today, we say so. Where Fabriq is stronger today, we say so. The honest comparison is the one that survives a procurement review.
Mode 1
Transformation OS — when consultants run a program
The first 6 to 18 months of a structured operational excellence engagement. Today this layer is run almost entirely on Excel, PowerPoint and shared drives. None of the daily-ops SaaS products were built for it.
| Capability | iObeya | Fabriq | Tervene | Solvace | Excel/PPT (consultants) | ProBeya |

| Problem solving (A3, 5-why, fishbone) | ||||||
| Performance dialogues (monthly cascade) | ||||||
| Change management plans | ||||||
| Business-case modelling | ||||||
| Survives consultant departure |
Mode 2
Daily Operating System — after the program ends
What happens once the consultants leave and the steering committee dissolves. The tooling has to keep producing OEE, deviations, CAPAs, gemba records and audit trails — for years, not weeks.

Where the others win today
We respect what the established tools have earned. Comparison shopping should leave a buyer better informed, not flattered. Here is the truth — written so a plant director who already has demos in their inbox can scan it in thirty seconds.
Market presence at more than three hundred sites, mature daily-ops UX, and brand recognition with French manufacturers and global pharma. We respect this. The limit: when the next transformation program lands, iObeya does not lead it — Excel and slide decks do, and three years of board work do not migrate themselves.
Connected-factory positioning, modern UX, and a clear focus on OEE and shopfloor digitisation. We respect this. The limit: Fabriq scopes to the daily. The strategic transformation that originally justifies the SaaS line item lives somewhere else, usually outside the product.
Deep customisation, executive narrative power, and board-ready slides on demand. Nothing beats a senior partner with a clean deck. The limit: those tools are spreadsheets and decks. They die when the engagement ends, and the two million euros of program investment evaporate with them.
What ProBeya is for
ProBeya runs both modes in the same product. The transformation lives inside it. The daily plant lives inside it. Same data. Same people. Same workflows shift cadence at handoff — the mode shift is invisible to the user. The system stays.
