Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use simPRO to manage all of our quotes, jobs, invoicing and business reporting. We typically manager over 150 jobs at a time so simPRO gives us clear visibility of each stage of a quote & job.

Pros

Custom quoting.
Custom invoicing.
Reporting.

Cons

Scheduling is quite outdated.
No real-time geotracking of employees.
Only accepts Square as an online payment method (no applepay, PayPal, BPAY, etc.).

Likelihood to Recommend

simPRO will work well for businesses of any size.
The implementation process is a little difficult compared to other systems, but by putting the time into the implementation you get a lot more custom workflow system.
It is however quite pricy for small trades businesses.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

To manage/create quotes, and manage equipment, vans, and projects within the business. We wanted to use the system to help manage the business as a whole and have a single place to manage the quotes for our customers and projects so that we could see what was happening easily. We also wanted a way for the engineers to sign off jobs when they were onsite. The initial problem was that we were having 3/4 places where quotes were located and project documents were stored.

Pros

Management of plant equipment
Management of projects

Cons

Converting quotes into projects.
Managing a project in an easy way and managing the labour for a job.
having the flexibility to manage labour days and not in just hours.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's well suited for a larger company where they have a large number of plant equipment and projects which are based around hours and multiple people being involved. The quotes themselves were a bit difficult for us to use and it struggled to link with Sage so we would need to do everything twice.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

simPRO has been a great tool for our business. We have transitioned from all our other PM software to this and it has been great! It did take some time to set it up initially and we are still learning new things every day. All in all tho, it has been great. I do wish we had more options on the BI reporting to pull reports in real-time rather than every 24 hours. I have been in contact with customer support though and they have been helping me to work on a solution.

Pros

Real time quotes utilizing the catalog.
Job costing.

Cons

More options on the BI Reporting.
Ability to customize views similar to Knack or Sales Force.

Likelihood to Recommend

This software is great for the construction industry. Especially if you are doing in-home estimates. For example, it would be the best option in the industry, to my knowledge, for an HVAC, electrical service or plumbing business. They are always listening to their customers and evolving based on the customer's feedback and needs.
