I came across Simpli the other day and I was curious if anyone here had tried it?

https://simpli.pro/

It bills itself as a Marketing and CRM system for translators. I'm curious about how well it works. I also don't really like that there's no pricing info on the site! But I'm interested in their multilingual invoicing feature as well.

I've also downloaded TO3000 to give it a try and I think some of the features overlap. Anyone tried both? Or other similar tools? Can TO3000 issue invoices in different languages?

I also downloaded QuaHill but it wouldn't install correctly on my computer.

(Sorry if this is in the wrong subforum, I wasn't sure where to post it.)

TO3000 Jul 11, 2020

TO3000 uses templates for invoices and you can customize them however you want. You just need to open a template (which is basically a RTF file) and translate it (as it is in English), then save it under whatever name you find suitable.

TO3000 is with me more than 7 years now. usually very satisfying Jul 12, 2020

some issues with MSOffice (get stuck and needs to restart), but has all the features required for a full management of both CRM and Accountings, including adaptation of templates (Logo, inside content...) and a very usefull schedule board for time management.

By the way - i see Simpli is an Online tool. TO3000 can be purchased and downloaded for offline use, Developer is very responsive and price is one-time (more than reasonable) payment.

Interesting. However, I find it odd there is no pricing info on the https://simpli.pro/ website, and zero info on who is behind it.
It lists an address (45 Vicar Street, Falkirk, [Scotland]), which when I googled it led me to this agency: http://pegasitranslations.com/
However, this website also offers virtually no info on who is behind it.

The simpli.pro website does say:

"Simpli provides a powerful set of marketing and project management tools for the modern freelance translator. Developed by a freelance translator with over 15 years in the industry.

01324 614000 ext 210

45 Vicar Street, Falkirk"

Anyway, anyone here know more about it? It looks pretty interesting, albeit rather rough still.

Yeah, there's no social media, no other info to be found... I think I'll stick to TO3000.

LSP.expert Jul 13, 2020

Not sure if it will satisfy all your needs, but you could give LSP.expert a try, too. It is quite straightforward, if not a bit on the plain side, and all the data are saved in the EU.
