Overview
SIMON is a custom-built ERP platform developed for Student Work, a Canada-based organization focused on training and operating student-led businesses. Designed to support complex, multi-project operations, SIMON centralizes business workflows and accounting processes into a single system, helping businesses scale efficiently while maintaining operational clarity and financial accuracy.
The situation
Student Works manages hundreds of business projects operating in parallel, resulting in growing operational complexity. However:
Existing legacy systems were fragmented and built on outdated technologies, limiting scalability and increasing manual effort.
To streamline operations, they required an ERP platform built on a modern tech stack to manage complex business projects efficiently and scale with growth.
