Guide / using BSimple from the Philippines
Inventory management software for the Philippines: an honest answer
BSimple is Australian-made cloud software that works anywhere a browser runs — including the Philippines. Here is what transfers, what is localised, and what to check first.
The short answer
- BSimple runs anywhere with a browser — Manila, Cebu, Davao — cloud software, nothing installed.
- The operational core transfers fully: multi-location stock, orders, purchasing, batch tracking, a customer portal, phone scanning.
- The accounting handoff is built around Xero and MYOB — with US accounting integrations rolling out; there is no Philippines-specific tax localisation.
- BSimple is not free — plans from $180/month (AUD) with a free trial — and says so here as everywhere.

What transfers fully to Philippine operations
The operational record is geography-independent: multi-location stock for a central warehouse feeding provincial branches — each location live, transfers trail-audited; reorder and par levels turning demand into purchase orders across an archipelago's lead times; batch and lot tracking where goods carry expiry dates; a customer ordering portal so branch managers and trade customers order themselves at their own pricing; phone-browser scanning and counts from any outlet; and an audit trail behind every movement. Businesses spread across islands have the same core problem as any distributed operation — copies of the truth drifting — and one live record is the same fix in every country.
What every location sees is the same record; what they promise is allocation-checked; what they count is verified. That is the part worth evaluating, because it either fits or it does not — and the free trial tests it with your own products from any Philippine browser.
What is and is not localised
Not localised for the Philippines: tax compliance. BSimple's accounting handoff is designed around Xero and MYOB, with the tax-code model extensible beyond Australian GST — international customers include a Fijian business — but there is no BIR-specific filing, no Philippine e-invoicing integration, and no claim to one. If your books must live in a Philippine-compliant local system, that system stays the ledger and BSimple stays operations; whether the two connect cleanly is a question to test before committing, and an honest one.
Priced in AUD, from $180/month — currency conversion applies on your statement. Support answers in Australian business hours (AEST), which overlaps Philippine hours reasonably well. No on-the-ground implementation partners in the Philippines — the product is designed to be run by the business itself, browser-first. If those constraints are acceptable, the operational fit question is the one worth your trial time; the inventory management overview shows the record, and the software types guide confirms the category.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can BSimple connect to Philippine accounting software?
Not natively — the accounting integrations are Xero and MYOB, with US systems rolling out. If your books stay in a Philippine-compliant local product, BSimple can run operations while exports bridge the two; whether that bridge suits your bookkeeper is a trial question, and we would rather it be tested than assumed.
Is BSimple free to use?
No — plans start at $180/month (AUD) with inventory, orders, purchasing, the portal and production features included. The trial is free. For the no-licence end of the market, a spreadsheet remains the honest free tool; the free ladder maps it.
Does BSimple work for multi-branch operations?
Yes — that is a core pattern: each branch is a location with live quantities, transfers between sites leave trails, and the central warehouse sees the whole position. Branch managers can order through the portal with their own pricing and product lists.
What happens to our data if we stop using BSimple?
It exports: products, customers and history in usable formats, plus API access to operational projections. A software decision should be reversible on your terms — the vendor evaluation guide includes the exit test for exactly this reason, wherever you are.
