Question 1

How much does a custom simPRO alternative cost for Hospitality & Tourism?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is scoped after a free assessment of your tailored for hospitality & tourism businesses requirements. Unlike simPRO's recurring Custom pricing based on business size; typically $200+/month; implementation fees apply, a custom solution is a one-time build — no monthly fees, no per-seat charges. The total cost depends on complexity, but most clients recoup the investment within 12-24 months through eliminated subscriptions and efficiency gains.

Question 2

How long does it take to build a simPRO alternative?

Accepted Answer

You will have a working prototype to test within 2 weeks of starting, with the complete simPRO replacement tailored for hospitality & tourism businesses delivered in 4-8 weeks. We run both systems in parallel during transition so your operations are never disrupted.

Question 3

Can you replicate the simPRO features I actually use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most businesses use a fraction of simPRO's features. We identify the capabilities you rely on daily, then build custom equivalents that work exactly the way your team expects tailored for hospitality & tourism businesses. Common features we replicate include Trade job management, Project costing, Asset management, and more — but tailored to your specific processes rather than simPRO's generic approach.

Question 4

Will my team find a custom system easy to use?

Accepted Answer

Custom systems are often easier to use than simPRO because they only include features your team actually needs. No cluttered menus, no unused features, no confusing options. The interface uses your business terminology and matches your team's workflow. Training typically takes hours rather than the days or weeks required for simPRO. Teams adopt custom systems faster because every feature is relevant to their daily work.

Question 5

Can I migrate my data from simPRO?

Accepted Answer

Data migration is included in every simPRO replacement project. We extract your data through simPRO's API, transform it into the new structure, and verify completeness before cutover. Parallel running ensures zero downtime, with most migrations finishing within 2-4 weeks.

Question 6

How does ongoing support work for a custom system?

Accepted Answer

You get direct access to your build team in Gippsland, Victoria — not a generic helpdesk. 3 months of post-launch support is included, covering bug fixes, performance tuning, and minor enhancements. After that, ongoing support plans keep your system maintained and evolving. Our 98% client retention rate reflects the quality of our long-term relationships.

Question 7

What happens when my business grows?

Accepted Answer

Custom systems scale with your business without the pricing penalties simPRO imposes. Add users without per-seat fees. Add features without tier upgrades. Expand to new markets without subscription increases. Growing businesses typically invest in incremental enhancements as needed, aligned with their business goals rather than simPRO's pricing schedule. The system grows with you rather than extracting more revenue from your success.

Question 8

Is a custom solution better than just using a different SaaS tool?

Accepted Answer

Another SaaS tool means another subscription, another set of compromises, and another vendor controlling your data. A custom build tailored for hospitality & tourism businesses breaks that cycle entirely: you own the code, pay once, and evolve the system on your terms. For mid-market Australian businesses, that independence is transformative.
