### "AVOID at all costs!!"

March 25, 2026

1.0

AVOID at all costs!! This company is only after your money. The sales person had an amazing pitch and sold me on convenience and process driven application which was meant to reduce the admin staff I require, instead, I had to employ an additional staff member to work Simpro properly. First - they charged a discounted rate of approx $6000NZD for set up (our replacement software Tradify had NIL set up cost). The set up was incomplete and incompatible, it was meant to reconcile with Xero however it completely missed supplier invoices, or at best sent them across incorrectly. Invoicing was a nightmare, and could take several hours to produce a single invoice. Because they couldn't get their supplier invoice system to work properly, we were told that the only solution was for the supplier to change their invoices to suit Simpro! This defies belief, the supplier is an international company LOL. When the new staff member was employed, they wanted $750NZD for 3hours of training!! Then, for every "user" it costs $200NZD per month, and if that "user" needs the mobile app, another $50NZD for month. Upon contacting them to complain, they had no complaints policy or procedure, no escalation process and when I pushed, their only response was to talk to their lawyers! I now have to finish off my contract with them as they catch you on a minimum 12 month term even though they have failed to meet their obligations.

Pros

Their sales pitch. They came to me to do the set up. They are great marketers of their own branding...

Cons

Almost every aspect. The software is really only suitable for large, multisite businesses who have the budget to spend on the software and the staff to manage it.

Reason for choosing Simpro

Believed the sales pitch, if were to work as it should I would have needed to spent less time on admin

### "Monopolistic and extortionate behaviour"

February 10, 2026

1.0

Pros

That it was founded in Brisbane and was once local QLD company. Unfortunately the Pro was flexibility of users (adding or subtracting licences to suit the staff fluctuations of business) but they are removing this option with minimum users and lock-in contracts.

Cons

Being hit with a lock-in contract option of 3-years or 5-years at an ‘expected’ 8% per annum (CPI + 5%) locked in to a minimum user quantity. The alternative option is the threat of a ‘12% (subject to change)’ per annum increase. Extortionate approach. Bought out key competitor AroFlo and now playing this monopolistic card. SimPRO claims ‘scaling together’ in the proposal, if I increased charge out rates by 8% or 12% per annum for the next 5-years we wouldn’t have any customers left, we’ll be scaling alright, scaling backwards

### "Avoid at all cost!"

February 28, 2026

1.0

After 2 years we are ready to quit! Very outdated, the user interface is awkward and not intuitive, it reminds us of Windows 95! We regularly loose work, I had to enter my notes THREE times recently! Support was friendly but decided that it was probably our fault and won't do anything. Infuriating!!

Pros

Lots of options, capable of lots from quoting to invoicing, with lots of integrations with other software

Cons

Loses work regularly, not intuitive, expensive. Any issues are your fault not theirs so problems during get fixed

### "Far from great, avoid if possible. "

August 5, 2025

1.0

It started off pretty bad, they missed training meetings, each time it was a different staff member, as they had left. Support has been poor, product does get slightly improved every now and then. But generally not great. Its a shame, because it has the potential to be great. Just lacking good software developers.

Pros

I'll come back to this. Struggling to think of anything. I suppose being on hold for 30 minutes at a time, allows for me to reflect my life choices of this software...

Cons

Support is poor. App requires full reinstall after every update. Regularly has bugs and work is lost. Prices have recently gone up again and there are regular outages. If you try ringing, it's usually a long wait. Support tickets are normally days, not hours for responses.

### "Operations Manager"

February 25, 2026

1.0

Our experience was both frustrating and time consuming. We were sold a software program that was both not a good fit for our industry and overly complicated. We tried and tried to find solutions, but nothing worked. We requested our money back since they made the mistake in overselling it and also not really paying attention to our company needs, but no one response. They took $2300 from us and delivered nothing. The company has the worst customer service and support.

Pros

I thought the training was okay. \[sensitive content hidden\] our training knew how to explain and answer questions the best he could.

Cons

The representative that sold us the problem, missed very important aspects of our company. Aspects that later on showed up during the training, and that no one knew or cared to handle. The software was not a good fit for our industry.

### "Professional and Balanced"

August 4, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with Simpro has been positive. It’s a comprehensive job management system that helped streamline operations, particularly in areas like scheduling, quoting, job tracking, and invoicing. The integration between field staff and office workflows was especially useful, and having everything in one place improved our efficiency and visibility

Pros

Professional , full work force management, Tracking cost and tracking revenue for a multiple projects. very powerful tools specially for toadies

Cons

While Simpro is a powerful platform for job management, one of the things I liked least was its user interface, which can feel a bit clunky and unintuitive—especially for new users. It sometimes takes multiple clicks to get to common tasks, which slows down workflows. Additionally, report customisation is limited unless you have advanced skills or external tools, which can be a challenge for teams needing flexible reporting

### "Simpro Update After 1 Year"

March 19, 2026

5.0

Really impressed - personally I can't see any other way of working for the foreseeable. I would recommend it to any business in a similar trade, as long as they are able to put the work in for implementation & ongoing dev.

Pros

Simpro has proven itself to be a reliable CRM system for our business. It is flexible and customisable to suit our ever-changing business workflows and now we've been going for a while we find it very easy to use.

Cons

Support can be lacking especially when it comes to the mobile application. The usual response it just to re-install the app.

### "simpro honest review"

November 13, 2025

1.0

one we would like to forget, but they won't let you due to binding contract. They promised to work with us to part ways after agreeing the system wasn't working only for their vice president of sales to completely renege on this.

Pros

They're good at marketing, to point of contract being signed. They suggest an intuitive leaning platform....

Cons

the system requires a full time inputter, is extremely time consuming and the results do not warrant the input. after sales service is offensive at best. Be very careful about the contract which you will NOT be allowed to alter at all unless its to their advantage.

### "Disappointing and wasted money - HORRIBLE SUPPORT"

August 2, 2024

2.0

I would not recommend Simpro to a single individual I know at this point. The run around and lack of care to resolve issues, or even address them, is astounding. I was told I would have someone from operations reach out to me by end of day (I have been trying to get help for a week), to only receive an email the following day it would be the end of the following week. Management needs to discuss how to handle the situation, not once has someone called me other than to offer me more "free" training. IF YOU ARE ON THE FENCE OR ARE WANTING TO TRY SOMETHING NEW DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM. They do not care about the company they care about their numbers. You are not a person to them you are just a contract.

Pros

The only item of value with this program would be the financial reporting. This is a program that the customer has to work for, it does not work for the customer. My implementation rep was the only person who actually seems to care and did try very hard to make this work for us.

Cons

1\. Customer support - if you have an issue, expect 2-3 days if not weeks for a reply, good luck if it is an issue impacting your operations, you will be dead in the water. Speaking with a live person could take days, the chat is always down, and apparently the office is always closed stateside. 2. The field app is limited, does not allow for easy use between devices, information does not get saved or stored and is constantly being lost. You also cannot search for customers on the app. It is very limited for functionality, service and quoting is all that can be accessed. The time clocking also does not allow for after hours service calls to be logged and documented correctly. 3. The "block" scheduling is complicated and does not work well for service jobs that need to move between technicians. 4. Everything is "view" prohibited, if you are not in the correct view you cannot do basic functions. 5. ON BOARDING COST - you pay for basic training of the program, which they have hundreds of online videos that would do the same thing - THEY DO NOT LIFT A FINGER IN BRINING YOUR DATA OVER YOU DO EVERYTHING. When I was initially starting I TRIPPLE CONFIRMED the onboarding fee was to help bring over our old data from Service Fusions, jobs/invoices/cost etc. I was told yes they bring it all over to make us whole - this is not true. You get a template to bring your materials in and customers over BUT you do this all yourself. ALSO, I was told the forms to be able to attached to jobs and fill out were not extras, apparently its a separate app and fee entirely. SALES - The sales individual I worked with sold me lies, I was incredibly clear on what I needed and was requiring from our next software. I was told multiple things that turned out to not be true, and were confirmed by people in the organization that I was not told true items and in fact I was very clear about what I needed and had been misrepresented by they coworker. GUARANTEE - This company does not have a 30-90 day money back guarantee for a non-functioning program. I did everything they asked of me and more during implementation, my rep even confirmed I exceeded their expectations of a new role out YET, I cannot get help on getting a refund for a program I was very eager to use, but has turned out to be doing more harm to the business than good. I have done everything to make this work for us and just wanted a conversation regarding a refund and what my options are since the program really is not working for us. The lack of follow up and support from "upper management" on a so called "important and escalated" issue is disheartening.

Once you get the hang of it, it's very useful. There can be some setbacks like price, starting up, scaling and frequent software updates

Pros

It has a user friendly interface, which makes it quick to pickup. It is also great for documents, communication with the team and can use it in the field via their smartphone app.

Cons

It can be pricer the smaller businesses, and there are potential add ons that you really need.

Overall, my experience with Simpro was positive. The software provided a comprehensive solution for managing all aspects of my field service operations. The job scheduling, dispatching, and tracking features allowed me to optimize my workforce and ensure timely service delivery. The integrated inventory management module helped me maintain control over my stock levels and reduce delays caused by missing parts. The ability to generate insightful reports and analyze performance metrics greatly aided in making informed business decisions. While the initial setup was a bit challenging, the software proved to be reliable and efficient in streamlining my field service processes.

Pros

One of the things I liked most about Simpro was its comprehensive suite of features for managing field service operations. The software provided robust tools for job scheduling, dispatching, and tracking. The intuitive interface made it easy to assign tasks to field technicians and monitor their progress in real-time. Additionally, the integrated inventory management module helped streamline the ordering and tracking of parts and materials. The ability to generate detailed reports and analyze key metrics provided valuable insights into the performance of my field service business.

Cons

While Simpro had many strengths, one aspect I liked least was the initial setup and implementation process. It required some time and effort to configure the software according to my specific business requirements. The customization options, while extensive, could be overwhelming for new users. Additionally, the pricing structure could be more flexible, as some features were only available in higher-priced plans. Despite these minor drawbacks, once the system was set up, it proved to be a valuable asset for my field service business.

Cons

Better task management, able to have more users involved and collaborate via task management, improved project planning, Mobile app for field workers way too clunky, an enterprise level mobile app.Attachments for projects/service/asset is terrible. And accessing them from Enterprise is the same terrible interface/clunkiness. We have other apps being able to have attachements against certain elements and reviewing said elements much quicker on both ends. Its still very backwards download/upload functions.

Em resumo, vejo o Simpro como uma ferramenta poderosa que me ajuda a aprimorar a eficiência operacional do meu negócio e automatizar tarefas. Com o Simpro, posso otimizar os processos de negócios, promover a colaboração entre as equipes e obter melhores resultados em termos de produtividade.

Pros

Uma das principais vantagens do Simpro é sua capacidade de mapear e visualizar os processos de negócios de forma clara e concisa. Isso me permite identificar gargalos, pontos de melhoria e oportunidades de automação, ajudando-me a tomar decisões informadas para otimizar as operações da minha empresa.

Cons

Embora eu reconheça que o Simpro é altamente personalizável em muitos aspectos, sinto que há algumas áreas onde gostaria de ter uma personalização mais abrangente. Por exemplo, gostaria de ter a capacidade de personalizar relatórios de acordo com minhas necessidades específicas ou ajustar certas configurações para melhor atender ao meu tipo de negócio. Acredito que uma maior flexibilidade nessas áreas poderia melhorar ainda mais a adaptabilidade do Simpro para diferentes tipos de negócios.

### "simPRO as a paperless program"

February 24, 2022

4.0

We find we are not losing job cards anymore which means we get to charge out every job that is complete. But we still have to manually check jobs that the technician may not have used the correct status. This can be a bit frustrating and time consuming. Invoicing is very easy and great to be able to delete one if it needs improvements or change the charge to customer etc. Copying jobs is another great feature and also creating recurring jobs is fantastic. Once you get the hang of it and finding little features along the way it is great. We have been using it 2 years and still finding out things but also still frustrated that problem areas that a lot of users report/request are not solved fast enough. We as users of the software, working in many different scenarios should show the developers what changes they need to make rather than what they want to add.

Pros

Great to change to Cloud Based product. Customer support is the best. Nice to be able to talk to real people and have them remote in and help with issues.

Cons

Not being able to keep any other modules open other than Jobs Quotes Purchase Order Receipts Invoices. It would be great to keep the People, Schedule Catalogue Invoices Utilities and Reports open in tabs at the top. I have to duplicate the pages in case I get a phone call and have to enter a new job or do a customer query otherwise I have to re-start my report, for example, all over again. simPRO is not very comfortable being duplicated. Dealing with stock is extremely difficult and transferring Work notes and Technician notes over to another job if the Electrician has written in wrong job or cost centre. Some reports are not suitable and you cannot customise a report beyond the parameters it was created from.

### "Robust and intuitive field management software"

4.0

Overall, this has been an amazing experience for us. The software feels like just what the doctor ordered and we are very happy with the choice. The simPRO team has been rock solid, supportive, knowledgeable, and fun to work with from day 1.

Pros

When it comes to field service management this is custom software which is hard to beat. simPRO is bringing a new level and caliber of organization and efficiency to our business and we are still implementing all that it offers. Our field techs now have vastly more relevant information at their fingertips than ever before which is empowering them to be more productive, efficient, and professional.

Cons

There are a few confusing aspects of the contacts database and how it relates and connects to jobs, quotes, customers, etc. There are a number of static fields which do not populate from the existing customer database when it seems they should. For instance, if we have an existing contact, we can not simply lookup and connect it to a site contact or invoice contact without some hoops and hurdles.

simPRO had the right balance of features and an intuitive interface that seemed best suited to our needs. Also, the level of support, knowledge, documentation, and professionalism was/is impressive.

March 22, 2024

3.0

In general you need to go into the setup of Simpro with your eyes open. Test all essential workflows as there will be snags. However, once all the issues are overcome and teams understand and own processes the Simpro works well.

Pros

Once set up, data on a range of plant and equipment can be recorded and monitored in real time. Quoting is quick with catalogs and pre-builds available. The open API is excellent with a range of add on options available to customize the build.

Cons

The asset importing function is difficult to use as it is asset based and not site based, meaning you have to use multiple templates when creating a site asset list. The time management of real time to scheduled is very clunky and hard to report on for accurate information.

February 23, 2022

3.0

No easy manual to follow. Have to do online training to learn how to do something or have to reach out for help. Help guides are not available for every scenario. Easier to learn MYOB than Simpro because of the lack of a look up manual of how to do something.

Pros

Once set up quoting is easier. Scheduling helps with knowing where all staff are. However it is a full time job for one person just to keep everything right in simpro.

Cons

Not all information goes to the right place. You think receipts of goods purchased are going to jobs but are not all the time. It does not automatically update the cost price on the job so if you do not activate updates the actual cost is not recouped in invoicing

Reason for choosing Simpro

The auto downloads from our supplier which do not work like we were sold on. Its not fully automated. Manually have to enter receipts and orders.

September 12, 2019

5.0

It is pretty good. The support improved with the transition from Australia to local US support. Things have sort of gone backward since rep left though and now the support isn't the same and I really believe that a lot of it has to do with the fact that rep had done so many implementations that he knew the different ways to skin the cat to achieve implementation objectives.

Pros

Ease of use, functionality, easy to scale up and down with the software.

Cons

I hate the fact that I cannot remove the ability by security group to download whatever is on the screen. This is a huge data info/sec problem. For a business product I should have the ability to limit employee's ability to download a CSV file from any screen effectively handing out my pipeline, customer list, etc to whomever they want. There should be some control for this and this is almost to the point where the product is unusable because of security requirements we have from our own customers.

Reason for choosing Simpro

The fire testing portion of the product seemed at the time to be the best we looked at. There are better test and inspect platforms but they do not integrate or are standalone products.

Switched from

[DICE Central Station](https://www.capterra.com/p/92929/DICE-Central-Station/)

Dice Matrix's integrated service platform did not offer the full end to end funcationality for our security/fire alarm company. Simpro was the only one that seemed to offer full functional and a user friendly GUI that was cloud based so that everything was tracked.

### "SimPRO and ProSec Integration"

October 10, 2019

4.0

SimPRO is a great tool to use for the type of business we operate. It helps us manage material and labor costs very effectively. Once you are properly trained and understand how the system works, preparing quotes is quick and the documents are professional looking.

Pros

Job costing is an important concern for us and SimPRO does an excellent job of tracking job costs. We are hoping for continual development in the ease of use for tracking labor and time on the job, but overall, SimPRO does a great job of job cost management.

Cons

Seems clunky and non-intuitive at first and training from SimPRO after the initial roll out is not complimentary and quite costly. Also, there are some features that I wish could be improved, such as contract / agreement integration and a more intuitive way to find / locate jobs on the fly using the mobile app. I am looking forward to the rollout of the new SimPRO Mobile app, which may address the later concern.

Reason for choosing Simpro

Several reasons... SimPROs offices are local for us. Also, we liked the job costing capability that it has. Good people that are responsive to calls and offer help to simple issues over the phone.

### "Game Changing Product"

March 8, 2022

4.0

Overall a very positive experience, particularly with the level of support provided by the customer support staff at simPRO. Since using the software we have dramatically reduced the use of hard copy paperwork, saving our staff members lots of time which can now be used productively on other areas of the business. Overall it has significantly impacted our business processes and enabled us to develop and grow as a company.

Pros

The software provides us with a centralised platform that integrates all aspects of our workflow processes. It provides an organised structure for maintaining all information relating to a specific quotes/jobs in one place, with easy access to all relevant staff members.

Cons

A specific area of the software we find challenging is the catalogue. The catalogue is very difficult to maintain as it works on the assumption that suppliers are able/willing to provide catalogue upload lists and doesn't account for suppliers using the same part number for different products.

### "The best software I ever got, been using a year and has transformed my business."

January 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

I have tried all of them and this is truly cloud based, it keep all my suppliers, customers, employees and subcontractors details in one place and tracks all reminders like contracts and certificates and suppliers insurances and training need. The quoting system is the best we have used and it produces great looking quotes very easily. Once you have secured a project costing a job from labour to materials and subcontractors is effortless. We use it for jobs from £75 to £5m and everyone in our business loves it. It give you complete visibility on profit and costs. We also use it to create all purchase orders, subcontract orders and everyone in the business does there time sheet on it, my payroll now takes 60 minutes as opposed most of the day. We have saved more than the cost of this software in admin costs alone, the pricing model is great as you can kick off for just £70 per month. We all invoice and raise progress applications on it and do all our debt collection. We also manage our vehicle fleet, plant and have clients who log in to give us work and also monitor their assets we maintain. It has a task feature which is average and we don't use it for project management as there are much better free online soltuions for Gantt charts etc. It is very powerful and so will seem daunting for smaller companies And technophobes, but in reality I taught my 10 year old to use it in 5 mins. I used Trimble before this.

Cons

Word processing could be slicker but there is an easy Work around. Rest of bugs they have resolved, it gets constant updates and upgrades.
