SIMSO

Philippine cloud ERP with published Basic and Pro amounts, standard operating modules and separately gated AI and marketplace features.

Accounting

No final score yet

The lower bound counts documented points; the upper bound includes the maximum remaining points if unknown capabilities are confirmed. This is not a final ranking.

Best suited to

Local businesses combining accounting, inventory, payroll and branch operations.

Check before choosing

Expecting advanced AI or Shopee/Lazada connections in Basic.

Migration

Reconcile opening records and run a parallel workflow with sample transactions before switching. Confirm usable exports and exit access. Reconcile payroll posting into the general ledger and branch permissions with two cutoffs. Migration starts at PHP19,995 despite no launch fee; scope historical records and exports separately.

Local suitability

The vendor documents an offering for Philippines; verify your entity, contract, data-processing arrangements and support scope.

Limitations and dependencies

Documented features have not been independently tested. Unresolved plan limits remain unknown.

Still to verify

Confirm employee headcount versus user-seat charging, bank-file acceptance, BIR 2316/Alphalist, final pay and full-history export.

Pro publishes three million monthly SIMSO LLM tokens, but payroll-data access, action controls and third-party model fees need confirmation.

Validate current mobile-store availability; the homepage mentions store links becoming live at launch.

Accounting: verify period locks, forecasting, budgets, multi-entity consolidation, API/export rights, local filing and AI accounting review controls. Branch counts are not entity licences.

Product capabilities and plan entitlements are separate

General capabilities appear separately from assessed plans. Product-wide claims are not automatically carried over to a cheaper or different plan.

Product evidence

Product documentation does not prove that a capability is included in every plan.
