SimplyERP review
A job-focused ERP connecting quoting, finite-capacity scheduling, shop-floor capture, and traceability.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SimplyERP brings quoting, estimating, finite-capacity scheduling, dispatch, shop-floor execution, and job reporting together for fabrication and sheet-metal shops, CNC and machine job shops, and engineer-to-order manufacturers. Its job record can hold engineering and CAD context, material traceability, quality records, supply-chain workflows, and profitability information. That scope makes it relevant to small and mid-market shops looking to coordinate planning and production visibility rather than rely on disconnected spreadsheets. It is a focused manufacturing ERP, not simply a quoting or scheduling tool.
The operational depth is its clearest strength. Finite-capacity scheduling and dispatch are paired with operator activity capture, while lot and heat traceability connect materials to production work. Quality checks, exceptions, and NCR visibility add oversight, and job profitability and cost reporting can help connect shop activity with financial outcomes. These capabilities are especially relevant where a shop needs both production coordination and records tied to jobs. The available product details describe the functions as part of a connected workflow, rather than establishing how each capability is divided across the three plans.
Pricing is a substantial consideration: Starter is $500 per month, Pro is $1,000 per month, and Enterprise is $3,000 per month, billed monthly; all are described as unlimited-user plans with a flat shop price. A 14-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan. SimplyERP is cloud-deployed and web-based, so shops should assess whether that platform fit suits their operations. Choose it if connected scheduling, shop-floor capture, traceability, and job costing matter enough to justify the monthly commitment. Shops seeking a free entry point or a platform beyond web access should consider alternatives.
