How it works
The simPRO workflow, step by step
- Step 1
Agree the job handover
Identify where simPRO-led work needs manufacturing input and agree the information your workshop requires.
- Step 2
Plan workshop capacity
SmartShopFloor schedules production work and allocates tasks so operators know what to make next.
- Step 3
Capture the work
Operators use tablets to record manufacturing progress. The production updates shared with simPRO are agreed during scoping.
- Step 4
Complete the handover
Agree how dispatch confirmation and production paperwork support the next business step, with human control over financial approvals.
Scope for simPRO. simPRO integration is scoped around your setup and business processes. Quote handling, materials, timesheets, progress updates and invoicing responsibilities are confirmed before implementation; do not assume every ERP workflow applies unchanged.
Why manufacturers connect simPRO
Plan the manufacturing stage
Give in-house fabrication its own production schedule rather than treating it as an unseen task.
Retain familiar processes
Connect the workshop without requiring teams to abandon the simPRO workflows they already use.
Make readiness easier to discuss
Use recorded workshop progress to support conversations between production and the office.

FAQs
simPRO integration questions
Who is the simPRO connection intended for?
It is intended for businesses using simPRO that also have manufacturing or fabrication work to manage in SmartShopFloor. We first review whether that combination fits your jobs.
Will simPRO still manage our existing business processes?
Yes. The aim is to retain the processes you rely on in simPRO while SmartShopFloor supports workshop planning and execution. Responsibilities are agreed with your team.
Which production updates can we share with simPRO?
We review your requirements for progress, materials and labour during scoping and confirm the supported workflow for your setup before implementation.
Does dispatch automatically send a customer invoice through simPRO?
No automatic sending is promised. We agree the invoicing workflow for your simPRO and accounting setup, with financial review and approval remaining with your team.
How do we approve and support the simPRO rollout?
User acceptance tests are prepared, run and verified with your team. Go-live follows your approval, with managed support covering SmartShopFloor and the agreed integration scope.
