Autodesk Tandem

Freemium Operate the Building

Cloud-based digital twin platform for building operations and facility management. AEC teams build a data-rich digital replica of a building using Revit models during construction; facility managers then connect IoT sensors and BMS feeds to monitor real-time building performance, track assets, and optimize operations post-handover.

Made by Autodesk, public (ADSK, $43.8B)

3.0 /5 composite score

Transparent $3,540/year pricing and a documented APS REST API stand out among FM platforms, but Revit-primary model ingestion (IFC in development), enterprise-level implementation complexity, and cloud data lock-in limit this to large owner-operators with established Autodesk AEC workflows.
