Simplisales

Simplisales is an ERP for wholesalers, distributors and manufacturers that brings ordering, inventory and customer pricing into one system. It suits businesses taking orders across several channels, especially those that need to turn WhatsApp messages, PDFs and handwritten lists into reviewable orders. Its broad operational scope is compelling, but the free plan’s order and user caps make it a starting point rather than a full-scale option.

Overview

Simplisales covers sales orders, purchasing, inventory, warehouse management, customer management, invoicing, payments and B2B ordering. That breadth can reduce the need to coordinate separate tools for wholesale operations, while its web storefront, branded mobile apps, WhatsApp, email, sales representatives, dashboard and walk-ins give customers and staff multiple ways to place orders.

The product combines manual and digital order entry, including web and app orders, CSV imports and barcode scanning. Its AI can extract line items from WhatsApp messages, emailed PDFs and photos of handwritten lists into draft sales orders. Because drafts are ready for review rather than simply described as completed orders, staff retain a validation step before processing.

Key features

Order capture and pricing

AI Order Capture is included with Essential and higher plans, where it can reduce transcription work for businesses receiving orders in mixed formats. Free users are limited to manual entry, so the most distinctive capture feature requires a paid plan. Customer-specific catalogues, price lists, volume discounts, contract rates and special pricing are applied automatically, a practical fit for wholesalers whose customers buy under different terms.

Wholesale inventory and ordering

Products can be managed and sold in units such as PCS, BOX, PACK, PALLET, KG or L without maintaining duplicate SKUs. That is useful where the same product moves in different pack sizes or measures. The customer ordering app can save orders offline and sync them once connectivity returns, helping preserve order entry when a customer is temporarily disconnected.

Simplisales offers native iOS and Android customer apps branded with the wholesaler’s colours and products. Listed integrations span accounting and ERP systems, ecommerce platforms, payments and shipping services, including QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, SAP, Shopify, WooCommerce, Stripe, Sendcloud, DHL and DPD. Enterprise adds REST API access with webhooks. The company states that most personal information is encrypted and protected from outside access; its status page shows most listed services at 100% uptime over the previous 30 days.

Pricing

Simplisales has a free plan and a 30-day trial. The free plan is billed Free forever at no cost. It allows 100 sales orders/month, one user, manual entry only, one catalogue, one price list, one warehouse, one currency and 1GB of storage, while allowing unlimited SKUs and customers. It is a useful way for a small operation to try the system, but the order ceiling and single-user limit are restrictive, and it excludes AI Order Capture.

Essential costs €120 a month, billed monthly. It includes two dashboard users, with each extra user costing +€60/month, unlimited sales orders, one integration, two price lists, 10GB storage and AI Order Capture. This is the clearest step up for a business that has outgrown the free order cap or needs automated capture, though one integration and two price lists may constrain more complex setups.

Professional costs €600 a month, billed monthly. It includes five dashboard users, with each extra user costing +€60/month; two integrations, with each extra integration costing +€120/month; unlimited catalogues and price lists; up to three warehouses; three currencies; and 100GB storage. It suits larger or more varied operations that need more pricing flexibility and multiple warehouses, but the monthly fee is a substantial jump from Essential.

Enterprise has custom pricing and onboarding. It includes 25 dashboard users, with each extra user costing +€60/month; two integrations, with each extra integration costing +€120/month; unlimited warehouses and currencies; SSO; and 5TB storage. API access, a direct line to the founder and one-to-one onboarding are also Enterprise features.

Platforms

Simplisales is available on Android, iOS and the web, and provides API access. Native customer apps cover both major mobile platforms; REST API access with webhooks is included in Enterprise.

Who it's for

Simplisales is aimed squarely at wholesalers, distributors and manufacturers managing customer-specific terms, stock and orders from several channels. It is strongest for teams that can benefit from unified wholesale workflows, varied order intake and automatic pricing. A single-user business with modest order volume can start on Free, while teams needing AI capture, more seats or integrations should compare the monthly cost against their operational needs. Businesses that need API access, SSO or many warehouses are directed toward Enterprise.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Broad coverage across orders, purchasing, stock, warehouse operations, invoicing, payments and B2B ordering keeps core wholesale work together.
• Pros: AI turns WhatsApp messages, PDFs and handwritten-list photos into draft orders, reducing manual transcription while preserving review.
• Pros: Automatic customer-specific pricing and multiple units without duplicate SKUs address common wholesale complexity directly.
• Pros: Offline order saving and branded iOS and Android customer apps support ordering beyond a connected desktop workflow.
• Cons: Free is capped at 100 orders a month and one user, with manual entry only, so it is limited for growing teams.
• Cons: Essential allows only one integration and two price lists; Professional costs €600 a month before add-on users or integrations.
• Cons: Enterprise has custom pricing, so businesses needing its API, SSO or unlimited warehouse capacity must request a tailored quote.

Alternatives

For a broader directory of order-entry products, browse Order Entry Software. Choose Brandboom if presentation-led product selling and Marketplace orders matter more than Simplisales’ wider wholesale ERP scope; its free plan supports product creation, presentations and unlimited Marketplace orders, with non-Marketplace orders limited. RepSpark is an alternative for businesses seeking an enterprise sales platform with extensive integrations and unlimited B2B users; its enterprise plan uses a customized quote and has a 20+ internal-user base.

Onsight is worth considering for a paid sales app with a stated $54 /user/mo Starter plan capped at 1,000 products, 1,000 customers and 500 orders/month. RepZio has a free basic sales-rep license, but that tier lacks iOS app access and order submission. Way2Order is another freemium option for web and mobile ordering. Kladana Online Order App is a freemium web alternative. OrderTaker offers a paid Economy plan at $50 a month, billed annually, for an iOS, Android and tablet-compatible CRM and ordering app with unlimited orders and customer records. Orderwerks is a paid alternative with a $60.00 per user/month Web Portal + Sales App plan and volume pricing for teams of five or more.

Verdict

Simplisales is a strong fit for wholesalers, distributors and manufacturers who need customer-specific pricing, flexible order intake and inventory operations in one system. Its most persuasive advantage is the combination of wholesale-focused ERP coverage with AI-assisted capture and offline branded ordering. Look elsewhere if the free tier’s one-user, 100-order cap is too restrictive and the paid monthly fees do not fit; choose Enterprise only when its additional scale, API, SSO or onboarding justify custom pricing.
