SimplrOps emerges as a silent titan in AI-driven Cloud ERP management

SimplrOps, a fast-growing enterprise AI startup, has achieved profitability and signed several major corporate clients like Deloitte and IBM in just three years — all without taking any venture capital funding.

VentureBeat can also exclusively report that SimplrOps has now extended its strategic partnership with Deloitte, marking another milestone in its discreet yet swift ascendance in the HR technology industry. The startup is known for its AI-driven platform designed to streamline Cloud ERP systems, such as Workday.

In an exclusive interview, SimplrOps founder and CEO Pruthav Joshi explained how the bootstrapped startup has succeeded where so many VC-backed companies have failed.

“Our rapid growth and profitability stem from our focus on customer-centric solutions by working closely with our partners like Deloitte and IBM, continuous innovation, and a lean and agile approach to business operations,” Joshi told VentureBeat.

“By listening to our partners, focusing on customer needs and delivering value through our platform, we have organically grown our customer base across all industries and sectors and revenue without external funding,” he added.

Profitable growth through innovation and customer focus

Joshi’s philosophy is deeply rooted in his extensive background as a Workday implementation specialist.

“Before SimplrOps, I spent more than 11 years integrating Workday into clients’ tech stacks,” Joshi told VentureBeat.

This experience highlighted a critical gap in the market — companies were struggling to maximize their ROI from Workday implementations due to operational inefficiencies. “Customers spend 30% of Cloud ERP TCO on operations and only 7% on innovation,” Joshi said, pinpointing the issue SimplrOps was created to address.

Since its inception in 2019 and its market launch the following year, SimplrOps has demonstrated remarkable growth, with Joshi attributing the company’s success to “our focus on customer-centric solutions, continuous innovation, and a lean and agile approach to business operations.” By partnering with industry leaders like Deloitte and IBM, SimplrOps has expanded its reach across various industries.

A technological edge in a competitive landscape

The core of SimplrOps lies in its technology, which integrates AI and robotic process automation (RPA) to enhance decision-making and automate routine tasks. “The core technology behind SimplrOps encompasses a deep understanding of the data model of Cloud ERPs,” Joshi explained. This integration allows SimplrOps to offer sophisticated solutions that streamline HR operations and optimize Cloud ERP system performance.

Despite the technological advancement, SimplrOps acknowledges the irreplaceable human element in HR. “While AI can automate many HR tasks, there are still areas that require human expertise,” Joshi admits, ensuring that SimplrOps’ solutions augment rather than replace human functions.

SimplrOps’ impact is measurable, with clients reporting substantial reductions in processing time — by more than 95% in some cases — and marked improvements in data accuracy and workforce productivity. These metrics not only evidence the platform’s effectiveness but also underscore the potential for AI to dramatically change HR operations.

Vision for the future and sustained innovation

Looking ahead, Joshi anticipates a dynamic transformation within the HR tech landscape, propelled by AI-driven solutions and predictive analytics. “In the next 3-5 years, we expect a greater emphasis on AI, enhancing decision-making processes and personalizing employee experiences,” he said.

As for staying ahead of the curve, SimplrOps is committed to continuous research and collaboration. “Emerging technologies such as natural language processing, robotic process automation, and augmented analytics excite us,” Joshi said, emphasizing the importance of staying attuned to the market dynamics through partnerships and industry engagement.

SimplrOps’s ambition is clear, as Joshi likens their vision to industry heavyweights: “Similar to VMWare and AppDynamics in Cloud-based infrastructures, SimplrOps strives to revolutionize Cloud ERP management.”

In a market where startups often burn bright and fast on the fuel of venture capital, SimplrOps stands out with its bootstrapped, sustainable growth model and its focus on delivering tangible, innovative solutions. As the enterprise AI space continues to evolve, SimplrOps is not just one to watch but one to learn from.
