Database updates
Our database updates save you time. You will regularly receive new inventory data and impact assessment methods, so you don't have to collect and enter all data yourself. Remember that collecting data is the most costly in any LCA study!
Certain databases updates may be excluded from the service contract, for example the ecoinvent database.
Software updates
Make sure you work with the latest version and the newest features. Not only patches, upgrades to newer versions of SimaPro (such as SimaPro 6) are included in the service contract at no extra costs.
SimaPro Helpdesk
The SimaPro helpdesk will answer your questions about SimaPro as quickly as possible. The helpdesk can be contacted by phone, fax, or e-mail.
