Top-rated for **Likelihood to recommend**. ----- ## Overview ### Key benefits of Simcad Pro Decide on evidence, not averages Spreadsheets model the average day. Operations fail on the bad one. Simcad Pro reproduces real variation, order profiles, equipment behavior, and labor patterns from your own data, so a capital request rests on a tested result rather than a defensible-looking assumption. One logistics team discovered the SKU and velocity slotting methods they were confident in before the study were not the right ones, and avoided committing to them. Get to an answer in days, not quarters Traditional simulation projects run long enough that the operation changes before the model is finished. Reviewers describe building a complex working manufacturing model within a day of starting, and full projects average roughly six weeks end to end. Patented self-adapting models mean the work does not expire: a model built for a layout study stays usable for the next capacity question instead of being rebuilt. Change things during the meeting: Because processes, constraints, speeds, and routing can be modified while the simulation runs, a review stops being a presentation and becomes a working session. When an operations lead asks what happens with two more pickers or one less lane, the answer comes in the room rather than next week. Validate automation before commissioning: Emulation connects the model to the actual control logic in WMS, WCS, PLC, and fleet management systems. Sequencing errors, deadlocks, throughput shortfalls, and control assumptions surface while they are still cheap to fix, instead of during a live commissioning window with an integrator on site and a facility waiting. Legible results to people who need them 2D, 3D, and VR views, heat maps, spaghetti diagrams, congestion analysis, and configurable dashboards turn an engineering result into something a plant manager, a CFO, or a customer can evaluate directly. Teams use this to win internal approval and to show clients how a facility will run before move-in. Clear security review quickly: Simcad Pro runs entirely inside your network. No operational data leaves your environment, there is no vendor-hosted component in normal use, and no firewall changes are required. Simulation tools frequently stall in security review over data residency and cloud tenancy questions. This architecture avoids that conversation, which matters when the model contains production volumes, customer order data, or facility layouts under NDA. Use one tool across your whole operation: Discrete, continuous, and mixed flows run in the same model, and the same environment covers layout design, slotting and pick path work, automation sizing, labor and shift planning, production scheduling, capacity analysis, and value stream mapping. Teams working across manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, healthcare, and food and beverage do not maintain separate tools or separate skills per problem type. Support from people who know the industry: Support holds a 4.9 rating across verified reviews, and the pattern reviewers describe is consistent: send in a model that is not behaving, and the CreateASoft team diagnoses it and walks through the fix on a call. Reviewers specifically note that support staff understand their industry rather than only the software. Training is available in person and live online, and most teams build a working model within their first days of it. Grow into live operations without starting over: The model proven in Simcad Pro is the same model that publishes into Digital Twin Studio for live monitoring and AI driven optimization. Choosing Simcad Pro for a single study does not mean rebuilding from scratch if the operation later wants the twin running daily. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.9/5** | 15 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.4/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support Software | 4.9/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.9/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.8/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 90% | (9/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: CreateASoft - **Location**: Aurora, US - **Founded**: 1992 ## Commercial Context - **Starting Price**: US$7,490.00 - **Pricing model**: Per User (Free version available) (Free Trial) - **Pricing Details**: Price varies by capabilities and features.

And the simulations is another level > > **Cons**: the bad is the fact that this software has difficult interface even for semi experience users ----- ### "Excellent product with continous inovation" — 5.0/5 > **Ziping** | *February 13, 2020* | Warehousing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We used Simcad for warehouse simulation. The software is super powerful in data exchange and data analysis. It thoroughly reveal the pattern behind the warehouse operation. With scenario manger, you can compare different solutions and make a decision easily by comparing the key metrics and KPI that you cares. > > **Cons**: Simcad needs to be more stable in supporting large dataset. > > We use Simcad as a tool for us to simulation a future/existing warehouse. The overall experience is fantastic. It is easier to get started than other simulation tool. But it still required lots of training and exercise to become a expert. By developing different modules for different purpose, Simcad plays an important role in our warehouse solution design. ----- ### "Very powerful software" — 4.0/5 > **Tyler** | *October 26, 2018* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to customize practically every aspect of the software. There is always a way to implement what you have in your mind using the endless options > > **Cons**: A lot of the features are hidden, uncover-able with the aid of a createasoft employee. ----- ### "SImulation for Dummies" — 5.0/5 > **Tony** | *April 13, 2020* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Using the software is pretty simple. The online tutorials gets you started in the right direction and keeps things simple. Each step of the build phase is easy and requires very little knowledge of how to write code. > > **Cons**: Wish there was a cheat sheet to explain each option and what it does. There are several options that can be clicked that do different things. If there was a cheat sheet to understand what each thing done it would make it easier. > > My overall experience has been great. The software is simple to use and the online support is second to none. Anytime I run into a road block or don't understand why the simulation is not performing as I think it should I just send it over to CreateASoft. They review the simulation, find the issue and then then do a conference call to walk me through the simulation showing me where I went wrong. This one thing alone has made my experience smooth. It is a peace of mind knowing you don't have to struggle or stress over building the simulation. There is always someone just a phone call away that is willing to help walk you through the issue. ----- ### "Simcad Pro is fast and easy" — 5.0/5 > **Matt** | *February 13, 2020* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is easy to get started. You don't have to know a lot of coding to make it work for you. > > **Cons**: I only got the 2 days of training. I would have paid for more in hindsight. I will arrange more\!\! Trainer was great\! > > First manufacturing simulation was quick and easy. Had a nice complex model done in less than a day. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2047588/simcad-pro?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2047588/simcad-pro) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
