What do you like best about SIMPEL | Construction Management Software?
There’s a reason this software is called Simpel — because it really is simple to use. The system is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy for everyone from site workers to project managers to navigate without confusion.
Beyond usability, Simpel offers a range of features that streamline how we manage safety, compliance, and communication across all TRN projects. It allows us to:
- Centralise documentation – SWMS, inductions, permits, and compliance records are stored in one secure place, reducing paperwork and confusion.
- Save time and increase efficiency – workers and subcontractors can complete inductions, upload licences, and update plant profiles before arriving onsite.
- Improve visibility and transparency – site teams and head office can track progress, review sign-offs, and ensure requirements are being met in real time.
- Support compliance – automatic reminders, expiry notifications, and standardised templates help ensure we meet WHS and legislative obligations.
Enhance communication – project teams can quickly relay updates, assign documents, and share safety alerts through the system.
On top of all this, the Simpel support team is always available to provide guidance, troubleshoot issues, and answer questions promptly, which means any challenges can be resolved quickly with minimal disruption to work.
In short, Simpel helps us maintain safe, compliant, and efficient worksites while reducing the administrative burden on our teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about SIMPEL | Construction Management Software?
no system is perfect, and most of the negatives are not linked to the system directly. Based on common industry feedback from teams using Simpel, here are some points they find limiting:
- Initial setup can be time-consuming – getting subcontractors onboard, setting up company dashboards, and uploading documents can feel like extra admin at the start.
- Reliance on technology – if a worker has an older phone or poor reception, logging in, scanning QR codes, or completing inductions can be difficult. I would love to see the Simpel app updated and working, as this will save the workers also having to log in everytime they need to sign in and out.
- Learning curve for new users – while the system is user-friendly, some workers (especially those less tech-savvy) may still struggle at first.
- System glitches or slowdowns – occasional technical hiccups or system updates can cause frustration when teams are trying to sign in/out quickly.
- Subcontractor management – subcontractors of subcontractors don’t always follow the process, leading to gaps that site teams then have to chase.
In short: the dislikes are mostly around time, technology barriers, and onboarding subcontractors, rather than the system itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
