Methodology

Our Services

Simportal as a Service provides “solutions, not software,” focusing on addressing customers’ pain points in order of priority. Traditional Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) vendors often fall short for more than 80% of companies and typically demand significant upfront capital investment. Imagine an affordable ERP solution, with no initial capital outlay. With Simportal, you can achieve just that.

What is Simportal?

At Simportal, our approach is centred entirely on your business needs. We offer bespoke solutions rather than off the shelf software ‘solution, not software’, ensuring that our services perfectly align with your requirements. This means no functional gaps and no disruptive changes that could introduce risk to your business.

We specialise in designing, building, and evolving custom ERP processes for Small to Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs), tackling pain points in order of priority. Our solutions are delivered via our Simportal platform, which is built on Microsoft’s secure Azure cloud infrastructure.

Our Simportal ‘4Ps’ methodology – Priority, People, Pace, and Protect, ensuring that we deliver solutions that truly fit your business.

• Priority: We align our work with your business priorities, addressing the most critical needs first.
• People: Our team collaborates closely with your staff, creating a custom solution designed by and for the people who use it.
• Pace: We operate at a pace that suits your business, meeting deadlines without disrupting your operations.
• Protect: We safeguard your existing systems, integrating seamlessly with your current accounting packages for example and other essential systems.

Our service empowers SMEs to enhance their processes incrementally and continuously, ensuring sustained success and growth.

We focus on your top priorities, addressing what’s currently most challenging for your business. With our solutions-as-a-service philosophy, your improvement journey is ongoing, ensuring continuous progress and never-ending enhancement.

To ensure the success of a process improvement initiative, it’s essential to start by understanding the people directly involved and including all relevant stakeholders. By collecting detailed information and soliciting improvement ideas from the outset, you can lay a strong foundation for an effective solution.

We combine your business insights with our expertise in delivering tailored solutions. Through consultation, we gather requirements and build a dedicated team to address the issue. This collaborative approach enables us to create customised solutions that meet your specific needs and help your business thrive.

We understand that running your business involves many day-to-day tasks. That’s why we work at your pace, fitting into your schedule without creating a burden. By collaborating with you to prioritise the most significant benefits and develop a roadmap, we ensure our efforts are maximised and focused on your immediate needs.

We strive to provide rapid responses to our clients and adapt flexibly to changing priorities. By working together, we help you achieve your goals and improve your business operations efficiently.

We believe in evolution, not revolution. Replacing existing systems can be risky, so we work with your current systems instead of just replacing them. By plugging functional gaps and consolidating platforms as needed, we improve your operations without disrupting current processes, and we can run in parallel to ensure continuity.

Our approach adds to your existing systems rather than replacing them, allowing seamless data import and export. This safeguards your business and ensures a smooth transition to enhanced operations.
