SIMPPLE (www.simpple.com) is an engineering of management software and eco-innovation consultancy, with a team of 15 people. It was founded in the middle of 2004, as spin out of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) of Tarragona (Spain). In January 2011, the foundation "Fundació Hospital de Sant Pau i Santa Tecla" bought the 100 % of SIMPPLE's shares.
The origin of SIMPPLE can be found in the activities of the innovation centre 'Intelligent Systems and Modelling of Production Processes and Logistics in Companies' (SIMPPLE), established in 2000.
The experience of the team in Ecodesign and LCA methodologies comes from 1995, with the first works developed in these topics by the team managed by Prof. Francesc Castells inside the Universitat Rovira i Virgili. Since then, it has developed many LCA, Eco-design and Eco-innovation projects, most of them focused on Energy-related Products (ErP). The team has also knowledge in environmental management (ISO-14001/EMAS), ecodesign certification (ISO-14006), environmental product declarations (EPDs), Life Cycle Costing and Circular Economy.
The members of the team have been involved, and have coordinated in some cases, several eco-design and LCA EU Projects such as: grEEEn (5th FP), SEES (6th FP), ASIFaCT (Asia Pro Eco II), LiMaS (CIP-Eco-Innovation EACI), LCA to go (7th FP), Greening books (Life+) and BOHEALTH (Life+).
SIMPPLE has also experience as developer of environmental assessment and management software tools. Examples of these software are: LCAtogo tools (free web tools for seven innovative sectors), LCAmanager® (LCA commercial tool), EuPmanager® (LCA tool for ErP sector), EuPeco-profiler (free desktop tool for the ErP sector), LiMaS WebSuite (free web tool for SMEs of ErP sector), SiSostaqua (LCA of water cycle, including water treatment), Fimpact (LCA tool for furniture sector), SiAgrosost (LCA tool for energy crops), bookDAPer (web tool for environmental declarations in the printing sector) , AgroLCAmanager (LCA tool for agri-food) and Bohealth (web-based tool for environmental management in healthcare sector).
