As you may know, the Apple iPad was launched today in the UK.
We knew that there was a lot of interest in using the iPad as a tool for simPRO users – both for the engineers to record job data, times, materials usage etc and for management to be able to access all their simPRO business information no matter where they are. We wrote about the iPad previously and how it would run simPRO – but many of you wanted proof.
So, we sent out our intrepid head techie, Curtis Thomson, to get one as soon as it was available and put simPRO through it’s paces.
Curtis queued for hours and endured the company of Apple Fan Boys just to be able to bring this to you, for that we salute his fortitude!
Watch the video below for the first look at simPRO running on the iPad.
The simPRO access via the iPad can be done in a number of different ways:
Engineers can access it through:
The standard `Employee’ login, or
The Ultra Mobile login – click here for more details.
Managers can access it through:
Their standard simPRO address and login.
The great thing about the simPRO system is that it will work immediately on the inbuilt web browser on the iPad. That means you can take the iPad out of the box, turn it on, open the browser and then open simPRO.
No need to download anything
No need for apps.
Like all parts of simPRO – it just works!
Note: That wasn’t really a photo from Curtis, I just found it on this website – just for a laugh.
Absolutely agree. Empower the field worker to focus on their core responsibilities AND support the streamlining of back-end operations toward analysi
I like how straight forward the process is.
Sounds like a good idea but how is that better than just getting a pda solution for guys?

Interesting - as an accountant I think that would be a great tool to use for busineses of any size that I deal with. Any ideas on when it might be
