For Australian SMEs running simPRO

simPRO Integration and Automation for Australian Businesses

Plenty of Australian trade and service businesses run simPRO for quotes, jobs, scheduling and invoicing, then lose hours every week re-keying the same data into their accounting, CRM, email and spreadsheets. Yes AI builds the two-way integration and automates the admin around simPRO, so records stay in sync and nothing falls through the cracks. You keep the software your team already knows, and the busywork quietly goes away.

Built for electrical, plumbing, HVAC, security, fire and other field service businesses across Australia who want simPRO talking to Xero, MYOB, their CRM, their online store and their roster, without the copy and paste.

Why Automate Around simPRO With Yes AI

simPRO is a strong engine for quoting, jobs and scheduling. The value we add is everything around it: getting it to talk to the rest of your stack, and taking the manual admin off your team.

We start with deep discovery, not a template

Before we build anything, we sit with the people who actually run simPRO and trace where the same detail gets typed more than once. We map every point a quote, job, project, customer site, timesheet, purchase order or invoice moves between systems by hand. The integration is designed around how your business really operates, not a generic connector bolted on.

Tuned to your exact process

Two trade businesses on the same software rarely run it the same way. We tune field mapping, triggers and automations to your job types, your cost centres, your GST handling, your approval steps and your naming conventions. The result fits how your team already works instead of forcing everyone to change.

Secure, and built in Australia

We are an Australian team. Customer, site and staff details that move between systems are personal information, so we handle them under the Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles, with access controls and secure connections. Your data stays handled the way an Australian business is expected to handle it.

We own the whole build

You get one team responsible for the lot: the integration, the automations, the testing and the support after go live. No pointing between vendors. If something needs adjusting next quarter, the people who built it are the people who fix it.

What We Build Around simPRO

Six concrete capabilities, all working off the simPRO data your team already maintains.

Customers, jobs, invoices, time

Two-way sync of the records that matter

We keep the right records consistent in both directions: customers, sites, jobs, quotes, invoices and time flow between simPRO and your accounting, CRM or spreadsheets, so every system shows the same numbers.

Right message, right time

Automated document and notification flows

An accepted quote can open a job, a completed job can raise an invoice, an overdue account can trigger a reminder, and a booked technician can send the customer a heads up. Documents and messages go out on their own instead of waiting on someone to remember.

Enter once, appears everywhere

No more double entry

A new customer, site or supplier gets entered one time and appears wherever it is needed. The hours your office spends copying the same details into a second and third system simply stop.

WIP and profit at a glance

Live dashboards from simPRO data

We surface work in progress, job profitability, technician utilisation and unbilled time as a live dashboard pulled straight from simPRO, so you stop rebuilding the same spreadsheet every Monday.

Flags what needs attention

Exception alerts before things slip

Jobs running over budget, work that never got invoiced, invoices past their due date and maintenance visits falling due get flagged to the right person, so problems surface while they can still be fixed.

Runs while you sleep

Scheduled jobs that run overnight

Nightly syncs, weekly WIP reports, recurring maintenance job creation and month-end exports run on a schedule in the background, ready before your team logs in for the day.

Six Honest Realities of simPRO Integration

API rate limits

Every platform limits how much can be read and written per minute. We design the sync to batch sensibly and back off within those limits, so nothing gets throttled, dropped or duplicated when volumes are high. We size this against your real record counts before we build.

Field mapping and data hygiene

Integrations expose messy data: duplicate customers, blank fields, inconsistent job or cost centre codes. Before go live we map every field carefully and help you clean duplicates and fill the gaps, so the connection starts on a solid base instead of copying the mess faster.

One source of truth to avoid sync loops

If two systems both think they own the same field, records can ping-pong back and forth forever. We agree up front which system is the master for each piece of data, so every record has one clear home and updates flow in one sensible direction.

Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles

Customer, site and staff details are personal information. Where that data flows between systems we handle it under the Privacy Act and the APPs, with secure connections, access controls, and only the fields that genuinely need to move. Sensitive data is not sent anywhere it does not need to go.

Sandbox testing and a parallel run before cutover

We build and test in a sandbox first, then run the new automation in parallel with your current process for a short period. You get to watch it produce correct results on real data before you rely on it, so cutover is calm rather than a leap of faith.

Change management and staff training

The best integration fails if the team keeps doing the old manual steps out of habit. We document the new flow in plain English and train the office staff and technicians who use it, so the automation actually gets adopted and the time savings are real.

How Yes AI Helps Australian Businesses on simPRO

We map your real workflow

We spend time with the people who live in simPRO every day and document exactly where data gets re-keyed, delayed or lost. You get a clear picture of the manual admin before we automate a single step, and an honest view of what is worth doing first.

We build and own the whole integration

One Australian team designs, builds, tests and supports the two-way connection and the automations around it. There is no handoff to a separate integrator and no finger pointing when something needs a tweak later on.

We keep it running and watched

We monitor the integration so you know it is working, and we alert quickly if a sync fails or a system changes at the other end. You are not left wondering whether last night's job actually ran.

Secure, Australian and compliant

Personal data is handled under the Privacy Act and the APPs, with secure connections and least-privilege access. We build the way an Australian SME needs, so you can trust that customer and staff information stays protected.

How a simPRO Integration Comes Together

Five clear steps from first conversation to a live, monitored integration, usually inside two to six weeks depending on scope.

Discovery and mapping

We meet the people who use simPRO, trace where data is re-keyed today, and map every record that needs to move between systems. You get a written picture of the workflow and the priorities.

Solution design

We agree the source of truth for each field, the triggers, the automations and the reports. You approve a clear scope and a timeline before any build starts, with no surprises later.

Build in a sandbox

We build the two-way integration and the automations in a safe sandbox, connected to test copies of your systems. Nothing touches your live data until it is proven to work correctly.

Test and parallel run

We test against real scenarios and then run the new flow in parallel with your current process for a short period, checking that both produce the same correct result before you switch over.

Go live and monitor

We cut over, train your team, and keep watch on the integration so failures are caught early. Ongoing support means the people who built it stay responsible for keeping it healthy.
