Case Study: Wm. Brown & Co achieves clearer business visibility and higher profits with simPRO

Electrical installer using cloud to see the big picture

Wm. Brown & Co, an 18‑person Glasgow electrical control‑system installer, was hampered by a patchwork of systems — quotations in Sage, project management in Outlook and files scattered across servers — that “didn’t talk to each other.” Frustrated by this random process flow, they selected Simpro and implemented simPRO Enterprise with the Connect mobile app to centralize job management and data.

Simpro moved Wm. Brown & Co onto a cloud‑based simPRO Enterprise/Connect solution, giving staff access from vans, home or office and providing unified project control. Within six months the business gained clear, company‑wide reporting, reduced firefighting and micromanagement, and can now identify where it’s making or losing money — freeing the MD to focus on growth areas and driving expected productivity and profitability improvements.
