simPRO API Integration for Xero, MYOB and Trade Workflows

simPRO runs your jobs. Xero, MYOB and payroll run the rest of the business. Right now there is probably a person in your office, or a brittle connector, moving data between the two. That person has better things to do.

We build custom simPRO API integrations so completed jobs become invoices, purchase orders become supplier bills, timesheets feed payroll, and field service data flows into reporting. That includes simPRO Xero integration, MYOB sync, custom connectors and webhook-driven workflows.

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.

What We Build

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Why Integrate simPRO

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.

Tradesperson reviewing completed job documentation

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.

Business dashboard showing job profitability metrics

Invoices out the day the job finishes

No more waiting for someone in the office to process last week's completed jobs. The invoice exists the moment the technician signs off in simPRO.

Progress claims and staged billing work too. When a milestone is hit, the corresponding invoice is ready.

Finance professional reviewing invoice status on screen

See what your teams are doing

Timesheets, job progress and material usage from the field feed into dashboards your office can actually work with. Not a week-old spreadsheet that is already out of date.

When a project manager asks "where is that job up to?" the answer is on screen, live, not estimated.

Construction crew working on a project site

Handles the edge cases your business actually has

Multi-site jobs, progress claims, retention amounts, variation orders, subcontractor management. We build the integration to handle what simPRO actually does, not a simplified version of it.

Proper error handling, logging and retry logic so when something fails, you know about it and can fix it.

Pricing

How we price simPRO integrations

Straight answer: it depends on what you need connected and how complex your workflow is. Here is how we approach it.

Free 15-minute call

Tell us what systems simPRO needs to connect to. We will tell you what is straightforward and what needs deeper scoping.

Fixed-price quote

Once we understand the scope, you get a fixed price covering build, testing and go-live. No hourly surprises. No scope creep.

Stage one for complex setups

If you have multiple integrations needed (accounting, payroll, inventory, CRM) we scope a first stage that solves the biggest pain point and delivers quickly.

Case Study

Field-to-invoice loop for a multi-crew Perth electrical contractor

Five field crews were logging jobs in a field-service app, then admin staff were manually re-entering the same data into accounting at the end of every day. We built a two-way bridge so job completion triggers the invoice and the customer record stays consistent across both systems.

How It Connects

Your simPRO integration at a glance

simPRO sits at the centre. We connect it to accounting, payroll, inventory and reporting so data flows without anyone re-keying.

How It Works

From first call to live integration

A clear process built for trade businesses that need things done right the first time.

Discovery & Scoping

We map how your team uses simPRO, what data needs to move, and what edge cases will trip up a generic connector. Progress claims, multi-site jobs, variation orders. We scope for the real workflow.

Architecture & Data Mapping

Defining which fields map where, what syncs in real-time versus daily, and which system is the source of truth for each data type. You sign off before we write a line of code.

Build

We connect simPRO to your accounting and payroll systems using the simPRO API. Logging, retries and error alerting baked in from day one.

Testing

We test against real job types (quoted work, T&M, progress claims, warranty jobs) using simPRO sandbox environments before touching production data.

Go-Live

Careful launch with live transaction monitoring. If historical data needs migrating, we handle it. Rollback plan is always in place.

Ongoing Support

simPRO and your accounting platform push API updates regularly. We handle those changes and keep the integration running as your business grows.

FAQs

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?

Pricing depends on the systems involved, the volume of data and the exception cases. We provide a fixed-price quote after a 15-minute scoping call — no hourly billing, no surprises.

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.

Tell Us What simPRO Needs To Connect To

Tell us what needs to sync in and out of simPRO, what should happen automatically, and where admin staff are still re-keying, reconciling, or chasing errors. We will come back with the right integration path and fixed-price scope.
