Softline Group Partners with Simpl for Industrial Digital Transformation

Softline Group, a leading provider of digital transformation and cybersecurity services, has announced a strategic partnership with Simpl to accelerate industrial digital transformation in international markets. The collaboration aims to address the growing demand for comprehensive management of safety and operational efficiency in industries such as oil and gas, metallurgy, and energy.

At the heart of the technological cooperation are Simpl’s HSE digital platform and e-PTW solution. These tools enable the integration of risk assessment, contractor preparation, work permit issuance, activity control, and audit within a single digital environment. This approach helps companies improve the manageability of production processes, ensure the traceability of decisions, and reduce administrative burdens without compromising safety requirements.

The partnership combines the complementary competencies of the parties. Simpl contributes its proprietary software solutions and hands-on experience in digitalizing industrial safety processes at large production facilities. Softline Group provides international customer engagement infrastructure, knowledge of regional markets, and expertise in supporting complex technology projects. Collaborative work makes it possible to adapt solutions to the specific tasks of enterprises and to take into account the specifics of their production and IT infrastructure.

The collaboration has already moved to practical implementation. The teams conducted joint pre-sales activities and worked through the technical and commercial requirements of industrial customers. The first commercial result was an order from an industrial enterprise in the UAE for the initial stage of the joint project. The partners are currently making organizational preparations for its launch.

The next area of collaborative work will be expanding presence in the markets of the UAE and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The companies plan to expand engagement with industrial enterprises, share industry best practices, and develop joint expert and marketing initiatives. Opportunities to apply this accumulated expertise in Central Asian markets are being considered separately.

Softline Group, with over 30 years of experience and a broad regional presence in Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the UAE, is a platform for consolidating IT companies and forming new IT clusters. The company's workforce totals 10,300 qualified professionals, and it serves more than 100,000 clients across all sectors of the economy. In 2025, its turnover exceeded RUB 132 billion, and it is currently one of the fastest-growing companies in the industry, with an average annual growth rate of over 23%.

This partnership creates a foundation for long-term international cooperation, helping customers enhance the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of production operations. The interaction was initiated by negotiations at the GITEX Global international exhibition, where the parties outlined common interests and prospects for technological cooperation. The cooperation between the companies is aimed at developing digital solutions in industrial safety and improving the efficiency of production processes.
