The future looks bright for Singapore.”

“simPRO was able to restart the European expansion plan in 2022,” said Sean Sadler, Director, New Markets, simPRO. “The Dutch market is not too dissimilar to the UK market. simPRO’s job management solutions will bring the same benefits that thousands of our UK customers benefit from today.
