legacy Access database retired, full order-to-cash replacement.
100% digital production control
Excel and whiteboards replaced with a scanner-driven warehouse and production system.
An alternative to replacing your ERP, WMS or MES all at once, for UK manufacturers.
Control rarely fails overnight. It slips. A spreadsheet here. A manual check there. A planner who keeps the real schedule in their head. It happens whether you run on spreadsheets or a full ERP; the workarounds just live in different places. Before long, traceability takes an afternoon and every department trusts a different number.
Simportal fixes that one stage at a time. We start where control is slipping most and build around how your operation actually runs, alongside what you already use. Nothing is switched off until Simportal has earned its place.
We agree what the first stage must achieve, then prove it within three months. If you’re not completely satisfied, we’ll refund you in full.
At Flexi-Films, we started alongside spreadsheets. At Thorpe Packaging, alongside a legacy ERP, WMS and MES. Today Simportal runs Thorpe’s whole operation, in the office, at the machine and in the warehouse. Thorpe retired all three legacy systems without stopping the line.
How far you go is up to you. Expand at your pace, while Sage or Xero keep handling the accounts.
Start with one problem. Prove it. Then take control of the rest.
From enquiry to invoice.
Customers, orders and pricing managed in one place. Quotes convert to orders without rekeying, and invoices raised in Simportal post straight to Sage or Xero. Order to cash in one system.
Know what stock you actually have.
Stock, purchasing and goods in captured in real time, across every location. Planning driven by live availability, not reconciled spreadsheets.
Control where work actually happens.
BOMs, works orders, planning, output and WIP on one platform. Data captured at the point it occurs, by scanner or mistake-proofed entry, whichever fits the workstation.
Traceability you can rely on.
Checks, non-conformance reports and approvals built into daily work. Batch traceability from goods in to despatch, ready for audits, recalls and compliance.
Right stock, right place, proven.
Picking, packing and despatch under control, with stock takes that no longer stop the operation. Warehouse teams see what production needs before it runs short.
See the business as it runs.
Dashboards, KPIs and exceptions drawn from live operational data. Margin visibility by job, product and customer.

You do not need an ERP replacement. You need operational control. If your team is reconciling stock, double-checking movements or explaining inconsistencies after the fact, you are in the right place.
Handle regulated or high-risk materials such as food grade packaging, medical packaging, plastic film or pet food
Operate across multiple stock locations, stages or sites
Have outgrown spreadsheets but need something that fits the way you already work
Run a legacy system that no longer reflects day to day operational reality
Need reliable traceability for audits, customers or compliance
Want to protect margin by cutting the waste, errors and duplicated effort that poor control creates

The difference isn’t what Simportal can do. It’s how you get there.
You don’t have to bend your business around the software. Simportal is built around your processes, your terminology and your shop floor.
