Construction Management Software Comparison
SIMPEL VS. PROCORE
One platform decision. Years of operational impact.
BREADTH & DEPTH FROM DEMO TO DEPLOYMENT AND THROUGHOUT DELIVERY
Choosing construction software isn't just a procurement decision. It shapes whether teams adopt it, how projects run, how data moves, and how an organisation scales. SIMPEL and Procore both serve this space, but they're built on different philosophy's and architecture, and that difference has a real impact on day-to-day operations, data reliability, and long-term scalability.
It comes down to breadth and depth, terms often spoken about as if they're interchangeable, but they're not. Breadth is ticking the functions. Depth is whether the platform delivers them reliably, in complex conditions, without workarounds or third-party dependencies. It's this foundation that makes SIMPEL so different to Procore.
SIMPEL IS BUILT FOR HOW WORK HAPPENS
SIMPEL was designed with the breadth and depth needed for construction delivery from the outset. Every software module and every piece of hardware is developed in-house and delivered within a single platform. That means one provider, one support team, and one comprehensive data set.
ONE OPERATIONAL DATA LAYER
Keeping all mission-critical data in one system and updated in real time creates the foundation for connected project delivery, trusted data, and AI deployment. Document and drawing management, communications, safety, quality, site access, logistics, and reporting all operate within the same Common Data Environment for this reason.
BUILT FOR BOOTS ON THE GROUND
Ninety-five percent of a project's workforce operates onsite, and the platform is built around how that work actually happens. With a single interface, a single login, and a single experience from the field to the office, the people using it every day can drive seamless and efficient delivery.
SOFTWARE & HARDWARE DEVELOPED AS ONE
Developing software and hardware as one cohesive system keeps workforce access aligned to strict safety protocols. Verifying identity, induction status, and daily declaration completion happens within milliseconds of an entry attempt, reducing the risk of having unknown, untrained, and non-compliant workers onsite
SECURE DATA MANAGEMENT
Data is stored and backed up on servers within the project’s region, supporting data sovereignty and compliance obligations. Simpel has undergone an Australian Government IRAP assessment to 'PROTECTED' level and is hosted on Microsoft Azure, whose compliance portfolio includes ISO 27001, SOC 1 & 2, and FedRAMP.
A PARTNER, NOT A NUMBER IN A SYSTEM
In-house regional implementation specialists stay invested in every organisation they support, maintaining a working partnership that extends well beyond go-live. Delivery stays on track when support is responsive, consistent, and already familiar with the industry and operations.
The difference between natively built and third-party extended
Just a few companies already using SIMPEL
Degnan
After 12 months of onboarding with our previous provider, we were still not at the point where we could implement it with our subcontractors. It's been completely different with Simpel. The team was trained and using it in a matter of weeks.
Nathan Austin
We’ve got a project template that keeps everything consistent. We either duplicate the template ourselves or shoot a quick request to the Simpel team. Then we just upload a site-specific induction and it’s ready to go.
Jessica Gough
We had some of the older guys whose emails were still shared with their wives. Tech just wasn’t part of their daily routine. But once we trained them up and they saw everything was just there, they got it. It didn’t take long before they preferred it over the old way.
Olivia Lavalle
Our Client Success Manager was patient with us while we learned the system, walking us through things whenever we needed help. It’s great having someone local.
Lloyd Lucas
It was really helpful that Simpel got all our forms built for us straight away. We ran all our training within four to five weeks to fast track it onto a few new projects. It all came together quickly and got jobs off the ground."
