Operational Control AssessmentYou think you're in control. Your shop floor knows the truth.
Control rarely fails overnight. It drifts, one workaround at a time. In under 5 minutes, see exactly where yours is slipping across materials, production and visibility.
15 questions. No demo, no obligation. Under 5 minutes.
Trusted across live production, from £3m to £25m+ turnover.
Real operations. Control regained without disruption.
Control slips quietly, long before anyone notices
It starts small. One spreadsheet. One manual check. One planner holding the real schedule in their head. Soon traceability takes an afternoon, and two departments trust two different numbers.
Simportal is built around how your operation actually runs: materials, production, quality and warehouse as one, while your accounts stay in Sage or Xero.
No big-bang migration. One area is proven within three months, alongside what you run today, and expanded only when the results justify it.
Operational control isn't another software module. It's the outcome your systems should have delivered all along.
Your whole operation, under one system
Commercial
From enquiry to invoice. Customers, orders and pricing in one place, posted straight to Sage or Xero.
Materials
Stock, purchasing and goods in captured in real time, across every location. Planning driven by live availability.
Production
BOMs, works orders, planning, output and WIP on one platform. Data captured at the point it occurs.
Quality
Checks, non-conformance reports and approvals built into daily work. Batch traceability from goods in to despatch.
Warehouse
Picking, packing and despatch under control, with stock takes that no longer stop the operation.
Management
Dashboards, KPIs and exceptions drawn from live operational data. Margin visibility by job, product and customer.
You don't need another ERP. You need operational control.
If your team is reconciling stock, double checking movements, or explaining inconsistencies after the fact, this was built for you. That usually means businesses that:
High-risk materials
Handle regulated or high-risk materials such as food grade packaging, medical packaging, film or pet food.
Multiple locations
Operate across multiple stock locations, stages or sites.
Outgrown spreadsheets
Have outgrown spreadsheets but do not want the cost, risk and rigidity of a traditional ERP.
Legacy system drift
Run a legacy system that no longer reflects day to day operational reality.
Traceability demands
Need reliable traceability for audits, customers or compliance.
Margin under pressure
Want to protect margin by cutting the waste, errors and duplicated effort poor control creates.
Don't just take our word for it
The transition happened gradually, so we trusted the data before switching anything off. We improved control without disrupting production.
We improved stock accuracy and traceability across the operation without stopping production to do it.
It's taken a lot of manual effort out of how we manage stock and production.
One proven stage at a time
Simportal runs in parallel with whatever you use today. Your team compares both, validates the data, and builds confidence on evidence, not promises. It expands only when the results justify it.
- 1
Start where it matters
One focused area where control is slipping most, built around how your operation actually runs.
- 2
Prove it in parallel
Runs alongside your legacy ERP or spreadsheets so your team validates the data before switching anything off.
- 3
Expand on evidence
MRP, MES, QMS and WMS on one platform, with Sage or Xero handling the accounts.
Isn't this just an ERP?
It covers the scope of an ERP but works nothing like one, and it proves itself before you commit.
