SimCura Business Systems

What SimCura Business Systems does

SimCura Business Systems (Pty) Ltd is a privately held South African SAP Business One partner, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Pretoria at the Spaces Menlyn Maine Building. The company is co-founded and led by CEO Alex Viviers alongside co-founder Grant Boshard (formerly Managing Director of Projects), with no external institutional investors, parent company, or subsidiaries disclosed. SimCura operates exclusively in the South African market and has no global footprint claim; its stated scale includes 80+ successful SAP Business One go-lives and 21 years of combined senior consulting experience across certified SAP Business One, SQL, and financial-systems disciplines.

The company's core offering is the resale, implementation, training, and long-term support of SAP Business One — an integrated ERP platform covering accounting and financials, sales and CRM, purchasing, inventory, operations, and reporting. SimCura delivers SAP Business One in on-premise, B1 Cloud (hosted subscription), and B1 HANA (in-memory computing) deployment variants, supplemented by B1 Mobility (iOS/iPad app), B1 Analytics (HANA-powered real-time reporting and dashboards), and access to 550+ industry-specific prepackaged solutions via a curated ecosystem of nine add-on partners (CompuTec/ProcessForce, Coresuite, be.as, Enprise, Britton, Orbis, iVolve, Valogix). Services follow the SAP Accelerated Implementation Program methodology across five phases (Project Preparation, Business Blueprint, Realization, Final Preparation, Go-Live and Support) and include SAP-certified training modules (TB1000, TB1100, TB1200), proactive support, project management oversight, and pre-sales consultation.

SimCura's revenue mechanics combine software license resale (perpetual and subscription), professional services (implementation, training, project management, support), and a differentiated SAP Financing offering that allows customers to spread license, implementation, training, and add-on costs over up to five years. Go-to-market is consultative field sales targeting South African SMEs across verticals including manufacturing (with named customer KHS), retail, wholesale and distribution, professional services, and enterprise subsidiaries — supplemented by a digital funnel comprising a website, blog, YouTube demo videos, and Instagram, with free no-obligation pre-sales consultations as the primary bottom-of-funnel conversion mechanism.
