director

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.

Director

Prices have recently gone up again and there are regular outages. If you try ringing, it's usually a long wait.

You get a template to bring your materials in and customers over BUT you do this all yourself.

Managing Director

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!

Excellent for job costing, tracking expenses, integrating with accounting software, and efficient invoicing/payments.

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.

Project Manager

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

Accounts manager

It’s a comprehensive job management system that helped streamline operations, particularly in areas like scheduling, quoting, job tracking, and invoicing.

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.

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.

The integration between field staff and office workflows was especially useful, and having everything in one place improved our efficiency and visibility

Operations Manager

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.

The alternative option is the threat of a ‘12% (subject to change)’ per annum increase.

It sometimes takes multiple clicks to get to common tasks, which slows down workflows.

The time clocking also does not allow for after hours service calls to be logged and documented correctly.

The representative that sold us the problem, missed very important aspects of our company.

The company has the worst customer service and support.

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.

They're good at marketing, to point of contract being signed.

The ability to generate detailed reports and analyze key metrics provided valuable insights into the performance of my field service business.

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.

Payroll and system administrator

You could schedule your different teams and track their time

The software provided robust tools for job scheduling, dispatching, and tracking.

very powerful tools specially for toadies

Our experience was both frustrating and time consuming.

IT and Business Support

It is simple to use once you've used it for a short while, which is especially helpful for engineers' ease of use.

The run around and lack of care to resolve issues, or even address them, is astounding.  

Client Services Lead- EMEA

Easy to use and integrate other tools like Tango, Calendar etc.

In other words, there is no guarantee if you are not happy with it, tough luck, you'll pay for it, and way. When it talks 6 to 9 months to get the platform up and working, that is a problem, and then you have a problem with their platform, and it will not work.

Overall a good tool to keep all the information in one place.

Technical Manager

Once set up, data on a range of plant and equipment can be recorded and monitored in real time.

This product is not well supported by customer support

When it talks 6 to 9 months to get the platform up and working, that is a problem, and then you have a problem with their platform, and it is not going to work.

They cram train in an all-day session, and the platform was built in Australia, so the vocabulary is quite different.

Accounts

Accounts Receivable Specialist

It has a user friendly interface, which makes it quick to pickup.

The time management of real time to scheduled is very clunky and hard to report on for accurate information.

Owner

Taxes aren't displayed on invoices in a way that makes sense and are not separated for PST and GST.Invoices have layout and wording that confuses people and staff.

Student

I really love and like the way that you can use the functions and the tools to manage your business in a great way, I like that the graphic interface it's professional and the way that you can order your business, it's absolutely good

Test all essential workflows as there will be snags.

Marketing & PR Manager

Overall simPRO is a versatile field service management and service desk software that can also incorporate the management of larger projects.

Quoting is quick with catalogs and pre-builds available.

In general you need to go into the setup of Simpro with your eyes open.

Installation Manager 

Looks professional and has transformed our daily processes

IT Project Manager

It provides a framework and process for submitting, reviewing, approving, assigning and tracking project requests.

Estimator

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.

Business Solutions Manager

The ability to mangage and develop the customer relationship from lead to invoicing and payment makes simPRO an obvious choice for any business that needs full visibility.
