Overview
Simpro is job management software built for trade and field service businesses such as electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire protection and security contractors. It covers the full job lifecycle from quoting and estimating through scheduling, dispatching, job costing, inventory, invoicing and asset maintenance, aiming to connect office and field teams on a single platform.
The product includes a mobile app (Simpro Mobile) that lets technicians view schedules, site history and job notes, create quotes, assign parts to jobs, track drive time versus onsite time, and invoice customers directly from the field. Simpro also offers a Maintenance Planner add-on for businesses managing high volumes of asset-driven preventative maintenance work, with service levels, test readings and compliance reporting.
Simpro connects to accounting systems including QuickBooks Online, Xero and Sage (50, 200 and Intacct via partners) to sync customer, supplier and contractor invoices, payments and financial reporting so job costs and cash flow stay reconciled between the field-service platform and the general ledger. Simpro is part of Simpro Group, headquartered in Brisbane, Australia, which also owns AroFlo, ClockShark and BigChange following acquisitions.

Strengths & considerations
Strengths
- Purpose-built for trade and field service verticals (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire and security) rather than generic field service management
- Combines quoting, scheduling, inventory, asset maintenance and invoicing in one connected job-management platform
- Native two-way accounting links to multiple systems (QuickBooks, Xero, Sage 50/200) rather than a single accounting integration
- Backed by Simpro Group's broader trade-software portfolio (AroFlo, ClockShark, BigChange)
