By no means am I suggesting it is flawed, but because of the custom work we have implemented, we do encounter small issues on the rare occasion.

The accounting functions of this system are solid, and not just an added after thought as I have found in other products on the market. Thank you for a great system.

Fantastic - perfect system,  awesome customer service, great value - couldn't be happier.

We were switching ERP systems and implementing a website integration at the same time. BlueLink staff were great in making this as seamless as possible during the transition.

The only limit is when you are on the hosted plan, the blue link instance can be a bit wonky, sometimes timing out, freezing, etc.

Overall, Blue Link is a superior ERP/WMS solution for small - mid sized companies for a very reasonable cost.

Unless you yearn for a dated Window's user experience is tough to come up the learning curve on Blue Link.

Extremely Reliable & user friendly program - Maintenance Free- gives you time to grow your business without having any software issues. Always incorporating upgrades to improve the program.

As to the software, the ERP interface is perfect for our wholesale distribution company. From tracking inbound ocean containers to automated reporting, BlueLink saves us both time and money.

The interface looks old/dated. Not too many report features unless you pay a lot more to have access to them.

Having him here on site was wonderful. He not only learned our business thoroughly in two weeks, additionally he made suggestions and customized the system for us.

I feel like this company is an actual scam selling people beta software that they know is not complete or fully functional.

The system forces compliance with certain basic rules for handling inventory and if the customer violates these then there can be minor problems requiring brief intervention.

The A/R, A/P, G/L and the Bank Management modules are very user friendly.

We have had great use out of the program and when we have had questions or concerns they have been quickly and effectively dealt with by the suppot team.

But part of the beauty of Bluelink is their ability to fine tune the application for those who require unique situations addressed.

We have a very complicated salesman commission structure with three levels,  and there has been a little difficulty in processing commissions.

I would recommend considering this if you're a small to medium sized company because it produces very professional reports at a good cost and customer service is great.

I love their new release especially the dashboard that integrate with sql reports. It gives a great perspective on daily operations and sales, and super easy to use and accurate.

Blue Link is designed such that we have yet to find a something they cannot do. Add to this their excellent people and you have a winning recipe.

Bluelink has been very good to work with from management to the technical support team.

The only real upside to this product for us is the ownership and staff. They are great to deal with and try their best to resolve our issues.

Inventory management is difficult in my business. Also forgot to hit save a few times and lost my quote.

Simpro is a powerful platform and integrates very well with other financial software that we use. It allows for all departments in our company to work seamlessly together.

Dispatching, Purchase order, Estimating and billing portion of the software top notch flow great to together awesome.

Job costing is an important concern for us and SimPRO does an excellent job of tracking job costs.

I have been in contact multiple times with the Help Desk/Software Support and they are great too.

It is much better Job cost then we have used before.

I really like the way the software is laid out. Pretty easy to navigate.

Simpro lied and misled me at the very start to get my business now wont refund me what i have paid now i have cancelled. Now in the hands of my solicitor.

We are all very happy with the way this system handles assets, we will be able to move our entire previous work history into these notes as it pertains to site location.

It is user friendly from both the administration and technician standpoint. My technicians are actually excited about using simPRO because it is straightforward and efficient.

There are a few confusing aspects of the contacts database and how it relates and connects to jobs, quotes, customers, etc.

Paper would be faster and more efficient some days. The worst part about this is the application on android has not had an update since april 2019.

The simPRO Mobile App is logical and easy for our technicians to add time and materials to in the field. The ability to easily add photos and attachments to the job is a nice feature.

Their customer service is awesome. There are so many different ways to get in touch with someone and they're quick to respond.

SimPro Suite is a CRM that Provides a Great Software and Excellent Supprt.

Ease of use, functionality, easy to scale up and down with the software.

The mobile platform is rubbish. Constant crashing and syncing errors.

The custom reporting is a bit difficult and confusing.

The software is pretty excellent when it comes to creating, managing and invoicing jobs with day to day clients. Most aspects of the desktop software are quite easy to use and understand.

And slightly blurred pricing on number of licenses will be charged at what point.

The software has been great and had performed as described. The integration team has been awesome as well.

Sales Guy : I'm super happy that rep came out to help me sell this software to the owners of my company.

Easy to implement the back office side works really well and gives the ability to manage stock and jobs easily. The integration into Quickbooks is flawless and is a great boon.

Clients are thrilled that during a meeting I can pull up Simpro and provide answers to all their questions. I recommend SimPro to anyone who is looking for a user friendly CRM that works.

The workflow in simPRO is quite comprehensive and yet logical. We love the ability to turn a lead into a quote... then track it into a job, and to an invoice and payment.

Integrating our old software to simPRO was difficult due to our old software running on DOS.
