simPRO Integration for Trade & Field Service Businesses
Connect simPRO to your accounting software, payroll, inventory and reporting systems. Jobs, invoices, timesheets and purchase orders flow automatically, no re-keying.
Perth-based. Australia-wide. Fixed-price quotes.
simPRO API Integration for Trades
simPRO runs your jobs. Your accounting software runs your finances. Right now there is probably a person in your office (or a brittle Zapier workflow) moving data between the two. That person has better things to do.
We build custom integrations using the simPRO API so completed jobs become invoices, purchase orders become supplier bills, and timesheets feed payroll. All without re-keying. For electricians, plumbers, HVAC companies, fire protection firms and any trade business running simPRO.
HELLO PEOPLE is a Perth-based software consultancy. We work with trade businesses across Australia that have outgrown manual processes and off-the-shelf connectors.
What we hear from simPRO users
If your office team is the glue between simPRO and your accounting software, you already know these problems.
Jobs finished but invoices not sent
The sparky signs off a job in simPRO. But the invoice does not appear in your accounting software until someone in the office re-enters it. Cash flow waits on admin.
Timesheets entered twice
Techs log hours in simPRO. Then someone in payroll types those same hours into a different system. Every fortnight, same routine, same risk of getting it wrong.
Purchase orders floating in spreadsheets
Materials get ordered on site, logged somewhere, and maybe make it into the accounting system a week later. Job costing is always playing catch-up.
Job profitability is a guess
Labour costs in one system, materials in another, invoice amounts in a third. Working out whether a job actually made money takes a full afternoon.
Site details and client records out of sync
Client address changes in simPRO but accounting still has the old one. Invoices go to the wrong place. Warranty notices go to old contacts.
Zapier or Make connectors that half-work
The off-the-shelf connector handles simple jobs but falls over on progress claims, multi-site jobs, or anything outside the template. And when it breaks, nobody gets told.

Most trade businesses need simPRO talking to their accounting software and payroll. Tell us your setup and we will give you a straight answer on what it takes.
simPRO Integration Workflows
These are the most common simPRO integrations we build for trade businesses. Pick a tab to see how it works.
Job completion to invoice automation
A technician marks a job as complete in simPRO. The invoice appears in your accounting software — correct customer, correct line items, correct GST, correct cost centre. No one in the office touches it.
Handles standard jobs, quoted work, and time-and-materials billing. Progress claims for larger projects can be automated too, with each stage triggering the corresponding invoice.
Built for electrical, plumbing, HVAC and fire safety companies where dozens of jobs close every week and finance is always chasing paperwork.
Customer and site record sync
New customer created in simPRO? It appears in your accounting software with ABN, billing address and payment terms. Client details update in one place and the other stays in sync.
For businesses with multiple sites per customer — think property managers or facility maintenance contracts — site-level data maps properly so invoices go to the right entity.
No more duplicate contacts, no more invoices sent to addresses that changed three months ago.
Purchase order and materials sync
Materials ordered against a job in simPRO flow through to your accounting system as supplier bills. Job costing stays accurate without someone re-entering every purchase.
Handles catalogue items, one-off purchases and subcontractor costs. Approval workflows can run in simPRO before anything hits the books.
Good for businesses ordering materials daily across multiple sites and struggling to match supplier invoices back to the right job.
Timesheet and payroll integration
Hours logged by techs in simPRO — travel time, on-site time, overtime — push straight into your payroll system. No spreadsheet exports. No manual data entry on pay day.
Overtime rules, allowances and penalty rates are handled properly. The payroll team just reviews and runs the pay, they don't build it from scratch every fortnight.
Essential for businesses with field crews across multiple sites who currently rely on paper timesheets or manual exports.
Inventory and stock level sync
Van stock, warehouse inventory and minimum reorder levels stay accurate between simPRO and your other systems. When a tech uses parts on a job, stock levels update without someone counting manually.
Automated purchase orders trigger when stock drops below thresholds. Supplier catalogues and pricing stay aligned so quotes are based on current costs, not last quarter's.
Good for businesses managing stock across multiple vans and warehouses where manual stocktakes are eating up weekends.
Reporting and business dashboards
Pull live data from simPRO — job profitability, WIP, debtor ageing, tech utilisation — and combine it with accounting data in Power BI or a custom dashboard.
No more waiting until month-end to know how the business is tracking. Your operations manager, finance team and business owner all see the same numbers, live.
Built for businesses that have outgrown simPRO's built-in reporting and need cross-system visibility.
Job data flows straight to your books
When a job is approved in simPRO, the invoice appears in your accounting software. Line items, GST, customer details, cost centre. All mapped properly without your office team touching it.
Your admin staff spend their day on work that actually needs a human, not copying numbers between screens.
Know which jobs make money
Labour hours, materials purchased, subcontractor costs and invoice amounts all live in one connected view. You can see whether a job made money before your accountant tells you next quarter.
That matters when you are quoting the next one. Actual cost data from past jobs means better quotes and fewer surprises.

Why HELLO PEOPLE for integrations
We build, not just connect
We write proper integration code: API connections, data mapping, error handling, logging. Not Zapier chains that break quietly.

You get a clear price before we start. No hourly billing that spirals. No surprise invoices at the end of the month.
Built for Australian business
We understand BAS, GST, super, award rates, Australian privacy law, and the platforms local businesses actually use.
Senior team, direct access
You talk to the people building your integration. No account managers, no offshore handoffs, no ticket queues.
Ongoing support included
APIs change. Platforms update. We monitor, maintain, and evolve your integration so it keeps working as your business grows.
We were spending two days a week just moving data between simPRO and MYOB. Now it happens on its own. The team focuses on getting jobs done, not admin.
simPRO integrations by trade
Different trades run simPRO differently. Here is how we tailor the integration to each.
Electrical Contractors
Jobs signed off in simPRO trigger invoices automatically. Compliance certs, test results and photos stay linked to the job record across both systems.
Plumbing & Gas
Reactive and scheduled maintenance jobs flow from simPRO to accounting without a detour through someone's spreadsheet. Materials used on each job are costed properly.
HVAC & Air Conditioning
Scheduled service contracts, one-off callouts and large project work all handled differently in simPRO. Each creates the right invoice type in your accounting software.
Fire Protection & Safety
Inspection schedules, compliance documentation and defect reports managed in simPRO. Invoicing, supplier bills and cost tracking stay linked to accounting automatically.
Security & Communications
Installation projects, service calls and monitoring contracts in simPRO create proper invoices and track profitability without duplicating data.
Facilities Management
Managing dozens of sites with planned maintenance schedules and reactive work orders. simPRO tracks the work, accounting tracks the money. Integration keeps them aligned.
Common questions about simPRO integration
Can you connect simPRO to MYOB or Xero?
Yes. It is one of the most common integrations we build. Jobs, invoices, contacts, purchase orders and timesheets can all sync between simPRO and your accounting software. A 15-minute call is enough to confirm exactly what is possible for your setup.
Does the integration handle progress claims?
Yes. If your business bills project work in stages (first fix, second fix, final) each claim in simPRO can generate the corresponding invoice in your accounting software automatically. Retention amounts are tracked too.
How much does a simPRO integration cost?
We quote fixed price before work starts. A standard simPRO to accounting sync (invoices, contacts, purchase orders) typically runs $8,000 to $20,000. If you also need payroll, inventory and reporting integrations, expect $20,000 to $45,000. We will give you a clear number after scoping.
How long does it take to build?
A straightforward simPRO to MYOB or Xero integration usually takes 6 to 10 weeks. More complex setups involving payroll, inventory, multi-entity and reporting typically run 10 to 16 weeks.
We already have the built-in simPRO accounting link — why would we need custom?
The built-in connector works for basic setups. But if you have multi-site jobs, progress claims, subcontractor bills, complex cost centres or need two-way sync, you will hit its limits quickly. A custom integration handles your actual workflow instead of a simplified version of it.
Can you sync timesheets from simPRO to our payroll system?
Yes. Approved timesheets in simPRO push directly into your payroll software: Deputy, Employment Hero, MYOB Payroll, Xero Payroll or others. Overtime, allowances and site-specific rates are all handled.
Do you work with businesses outside Perth?
We are based in Perth and work Australia-wide. We have simPRO integration clients in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and regional areas. Remote delivery is standard for us.
What happens when simPRO updates their software?
Most clients are on a monthly support plan. When simPRO pushes API changes, we update the integration so it keeps working. You do not need to worry about it.
