By the time the model is finished, the operation has changed, and nobody trusts the answer anymore. Simcad Pro was built for the person who has to answer one question: will this actually work before we spend the money on it? That person is usually an industrial engineer sizing an AS/RS, a continuous improvement manager rebalancing a line, a solutions engineer laying out a distribution center for a client who moves in eight weeks, or a process improvement director evaluating staffing before a new wing opens. If you have ever built a capital business case in a spreadsheet and quietly hoped the averages held, this is the alternative. What makes Simcad Pro different? Your data, not textbook distributions. Simcad Pro builds models from the order history, inventory files, equipment specs, and labor data you already have. AI constructs the model structure from those inputs instead of asking you to hand-fit statistical curves to a process you already understand. Models that keep up with the operation. Patented self-adapting model technology updates the model as conditions change, so a study you ran in March still means something in Se... ptember. Most teams have a working model in days rather than quarters, and the average full project turnaround runs about six weeks. Change things while it runs. Add a picker, move a conveyor, tighten a constraint, or remove a station without stopping the simulation and rebuilding. This is the single feature customers say changed how they work, because it turns a modeling exercise into a conversation. Emulation, not just simulation. Simulation represents how a process behaves. Emulation puts the actual control logic in the loop, connecting to WMS, WCS, ERP, MES, SAP, PLC, RFID, and fleet management systems, so automation and control decisions can be validated before go live rather than during commissioning. Results people outside engineering can read. Interactive 2D, 3D, and virtual reality views, heat maps, spaghetti diagrams, congestion analysis, value stream maps, and configurable KPI dashboards. Coding is optional throughout, and available in full when a process genuinely needs it. Where Simcad Pro is used: Manufacturing, warehousing and distribution, logistics, automation and robotics, healthcare, food and beverage, and service operations. Teams range from single facilities to global networks, and the software supports discrete, continuous, and mixed process flows in the same model without switching tools. Customers love Simcad Pro's support: Simcad Pro carries a 4.9 customer support rating, and reviewers consistently describe the same experience: stuck on a model, send it in, and the CreateASoft team reviews it, finds the issue, and walks through it on a call. Support includes phone, email, chat, a knowledge base, and a user forum, with live representatives available around the clock. Onboarding is hands on. In person and live online training, webinars, documentation, and video walkthroughs are all included, and the team has been doing this since 1992 across manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, and healthcare. Reviewers routinely note that the support staff understands their industry, not just the software. Most people build their first working model within a day or two of training. Getting to expert takes longer, and the training and support exist because of it. A free trial is available, and models built during evaluation carry forward into a licensed environment. For teams that eventually want the proven model running live, connected to daily operations with real time monitoring and AI driven optimization, Digital Twin Studio is the platform that model publishes into.

And the simulations is another level #### Cons the bad is the fact that this software has difficult interface even for semi experience users --- ### Excellent product with continous inovation - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ziping X. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Warehousing - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We use Simcad as a tool for us to simulation a future/existing warehouse. The overall experience is fantastic. It is easier to get started than other simulation tool. But it still required lots of training and exercise to become a expert. By developing different modules for different purpose, Simcad plays an important role in our warehouse solution design. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We used Simcad for warehouse simulation. The software is super powerful in data exchange and data analysis. It thoroughly reveal the pattern behind the warehouse operation. With scenario manger, you can compare different solutions and make a decision easily by comparing the key metrics and KPI that you cares. #### Cons Simcad needs to be more stable in supporting large dataset. #### Reasons for choosing Simcad Pro It is easier to get started than other simulation tool. Also, the pre-built metric and charts is very helpful for us pick it up at the beginning. --- ### Very powerful software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Tyler H. - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: October 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The ability to customize practically every aspect of the software. There is always a way to implement what you have in your mind using the endless options #### Cons A lot of the features are hidden, uncover-able with the aid of a createasoft employee. --- ### SImulation for Dummies - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tony R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Automotive - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered My overall experience has been great. The software is simple to use and the online support is second to none. Anytime I run into a road block or don't understand why the simulation is not performing as I think it should I just send it over to CreateASoft. They review the simulation, find the issue and then then do a conference call to walk me through the simulation showing me where I went wrong. This one thing alone has made my experience smooth. It is a peace of mind knowing you don't have to struggle or stress over building the simulation. There is always someone just a phone call away that is willing to help walk you through the issue. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Using the software is pretty simple. The online tutorials gets you started in the right direction and keeps things simple. Each step of the build phase is easy and requires very little knowledge of how to write code. #### Cons Wish there was a cheat sheet to explain each option and what it does. There are several options that can be clicked that do different things. If there was a cheat sheet to understand what each thing done it would make it easier. #### Reasons for choosing Simcad Pro It didn't require you to know code and during the demo of the simulation software the sales person did a quick simulation of one of our current lines and the results were very similar to how the line performed. This proved to me if the inputs were correct the simulation would work. --- ### Simcad Pro is fast and easy - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Matt H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Automotive - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered First manufacturing simulation was quick and easy. Had a nice complex model done in less than a day. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The software is easy to get started. You don't have to know a lot of coding to make it work for you. #### Cons I only got the 2 days of training. I would have paid for more in hindsight. I will arrange more!! Trainer was great! #### Reasons for choosing Simcad Pro More features for the same or less price. More user friendly. --- ### Experience with Simcad Pro Health - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jack R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Our applications have been to increase throughput in a medium sized medical center. Specifically, we use Simcad to model various scenarios as we expand and need to evaluate staffing/operational options. The output allows us to make intelligent decisions based on data rather than intuition. We have made many changes to our operational plans for new areas prior to going live - which is a much better alternative than responding to bottlenecks through trial and error. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We have found the software to be extremely flexible and powerful - and have yet to encounter a situation that it is unable to accurately handle. The ability to fully model real-world variation has tremendous value over the use of spreadsheets or making decisions based on averages. The technical support from the company has been excellent which has been important in order to take full advantage of the capabilities. Finally, it is useful to be able to model individual steps in a system at whatever level of detail is needed for the analysis being performed . #### Cons There are no "cons" that prevent us from using the software as intended. A minor issue is that the software has so many applications/capabilities that it can be a challenge to find the best option or built-in function to use. The Help tools are pretty good but could be improved. Fortunately, the technical support makes up for it by being very capable and quite responsive. (We've been impressed with how knowledgeable and experienced the technical support staff is about our industry.) --- ### Great features and versatile software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Felipe M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Great tool to improving processes and increase efficiency. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This is a powerful and user-friendly simulation software. It is a great tool to create detailed simulations of various processes and systems. It is possible to design complexes systems and flow loops. The software is very versatile. #### Cons The software can be quite expensive. May not be accessible for small business, for instance. --- ### Very Capable Process and Equipment Simulation Tool - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: David C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Logistics and Supply Chain - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used other for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Simcad was used most recently by our company through a consultant to provide a warehouse simulation to one of our customers to test different methods for handling receipt of goods and picking of orders. It was extremely helpful in testing different ways to slot inventory and then measuring the impacts to the picking and receiving processes. The SKU and velocity slotting methods we thought would work best before we started the simulation where proven not to be the best method. The simulation will save the client significant labor costs as a result. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Simcad provides an appropriate level of 3D visualization tools to represent the equipment and processes being simulated while backing it with very capable data importing, data manipulation, and data reporting tools. #### Cons Although I wouldn't say it is missing as it takes additional time for the user to create and modify for real world accuracy, Simcad does not provide sophisticated realistic 3D graphics which other simulation and emulation software packages may provide. #### Reasons for choosing Simcad Pro We actually continue to work with all these software tools either directly or through third party consultants as they can each provide different advantages. --- ### Powerful, reliable and cost effective facility simulation software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Full facility visualization in 2D, 3D and Virtual Reality. Wide range of simulation types supported: discrete, continuous etc. Advanced features available if you get familiar with the software. #### Cons Not so easy for a beginner to build a simulation as there are lots of commands available, so it can be confusing at the start. --- ### SimCAD Pro is a great value, with excellent customer support, and easy to use for the average person - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jason S. - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Drop and drag technology is much simpler to use, coding is optional, great graphics and metrics to display your results, Monte Carlo tool is very helpful from numerous runs, and the value stream mapping feature is also an advantage. SimCAD Pro is simple connect to Microsoft Access and Excel files, has an abundance of analysis tools to extract data and identify issues, and the option to create 3D graphics for customer visibility is top notch. Additionally, this software has an incredible value and versatile functionality compared to other software programs that are grueling to program, cumbersome to use, and expensive to train employees. #### Cons The scenario analyzer can be draining on your processor and does slow down the speed of the model run (s). The work order optimizer feature can be a difficult to set-up and not a value-added feature. These issues are trivial since the software is multi-purpose and still very affordable. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 15 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/scm/simcad-pro-profile/reviews/) ## Other Top Recommended Manufacturing Software [NetSuite](https://www.softwareadvice.com/accounting/netsuite-financials-accounting-software-profile/) **4.2** (2080) Recently recommended **98** times [Acumatica Cloud ERP](https://www.softwareadvice.com/manufacturing/acumatica-manufacturing-profile/) **4.4** (243) Recently recommended **93** times [Intuit Enterprise Suite](https://www.softwareadvice.com/product/528972-Intuit-Enterprise-Suite/) **0.0** (0) Recently recommended **80** times [Striven](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/striven-profile/) **4.8** (130) Recently recommended **73** times Stuck Between Options?
