How it runs

A Tradify to simPRO migration, end to end

Three stages. No surprises. Your live Tradify data stays untouched until cutover — delivered personally by the founder.

  1. Week 0

    Discovery & Mapping

    15-minute scoping call. We map your Tradify setup, the job, site, forms and workflow structure that needs to translate into Simpro for the Tradify to Simpro migration and the cleanup decisions to make on the way. Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.

  2. Weeks 1–N

    Sandbox Migration & Parallel-Run

    Full migration run in a sandbox simPRO org first. Both systems then run in parallel for two weeks — every transaction, contact, balance and report cross-checked against the source. No risk to live operations.

  3. Cutover

    Go-Live & Handover

    Production cutover on a planned window — typically a weekend. Team training, monitoring active, 30 days post-launch support. Tradify safely retired with full history preserved.

Tradify → simPRO: what actually moves

Every migration project starts from a set of concrete data on the source platform and ends with the same data — cleaned and validated — on the target. Here is the shape of that move.

Today
Tradify

Where your data lives today, in Tradify.

  • Chart of accounts, tax codes and tracking dimensions
  • Contacts, customers and suppliers (with duplicates)
  • Historical transactions, invoices, bills and reconciliations
  • Payroll data, leave balances and STP history
  • Connected integrations (CRM, ecom, payroll, ops)
  • Custom reports and dashboards that finance depends on
After migration
simPRO

The same data, cleaned and validated, in simPRO — ready for day one.

  • Chart of accounts restructured to fit reporting needs
  • Deduplicated contacts, ready to use
  • Full transaction history with references intact
  • Payroll continuity through cutover, STP unbroken
  • Integrations reconnected, working from day one
  • Reports rebuilt to match — same numbers, same periods
What We Migrate

Tradify to Simpro migration services, what is included

Every tradify to simpro data migration is different. Here is what we typically cover when you migrate Tradify to Simpro with us.

Client, site, and contact migration from Tradify into simPRO

Clients, sites, contacts, relationship notes, addresses, and service history moved into simPRO so your team starts with full context.

We map the field structure before migration so site and customer data is usable in simPRO from day one.

Job, quote, and scheduling migration

Active jobs, completed work, quotes, notes, photos, and scheduling context are migrated where supported and rebuilt where simPRO expects a different structure.

The goal is not just to load records but to land them in a format the office and field teams can actually use.

Forms, photos, and attachment migration

Photos, documents, compliance records, and attached files are transferred and matched to the correct entities in simPRO.

Quote, invoice, and operational templates are recreated to suit the target workflow, not just copied blindly.

Integration and workflow rebuild around simPRO

Any accounting, stock, scheduling, or related system connections are rebuilt or re-pointed around simPRO as part of the migration scope.

The move is shaped so operations improve rather than simply recreating the same friction on a new platform.

Pricing

How we price Tradify to Simpro migration services

Price moves with entity count, chart cleanup, payroll history, custom tax rules, connected apps, and how tight the cutover window is. Here is how we scope it.

Migration audit call

Tell us what must survive in simPRO, what workflows or reports cannot break, and whether the move fits one fixed-price migration or needs phased delivery.

Fixed-price migration scope

Once data scope, workflow rebuilds, connected systems, and cutover risk are clear, you get fixed-price scope covering cleansing, migration, validation, and go-live. No open-ended estimates.

Phase history and integrations separately

If the move includes heavy history, connected systems, or adjacent rebuild work, we can split it into core migration first, then history, then integrations. Each phase has its own price and sign-off.

Case Study

Multi-entity accounting migration that finished ahead of BAS deadline

A Perth-based services group with 60+ staff moved off their legacy accounting stack to a modern cloud platform, taking multiple entities across in one coordinated cut. Chart of accounts consolidated, payroll continuity preserved through cutover, and BAS lodgement continued on time.

We were worried the Tradify history and field forms would make the move too messy. They scoped it properly, migrated the data cleanly, and had the team working in simPRO without the chaos we expected.

Our Process

Tradify to Simpro migration services, step by step

A structured process so you know what is happening at each stage. No ambiguity, no surprises.

Assess your Tradify setup

We audit data quality, volume, workflow complexity, and connected systems so you get a clear scope and a fixed price before anything starts.

Clean and prepare

Duplicates merged, stale records removed, fields standardised, and templates reviewed before anything moves into simPRO.

Configure simPRO

simPRO is configured around your workflows, user roles, pricing structure, templates, and operational requirements before migration lands.

Migrate data and documents

Clients, jobs, quotes, sites, attachments, templates, and workflow data are extracted, transformed, and loaded into simPRO with validation at each step.

Test and validate

Your team reviews the migrated data in simPRO, checking jobs, clients, forms, document links, and reporting outputs before go-live.

Go live and support

We cut over at the right point, support the first period in simPRO, and keep Tradify accessible as a reference while the team settles in.

FAQs

Common questions about Tradify to simPRO migration and conversion

How much do your Tradify to Simpro migration services cost?

Depends on client and site count, job history, forms and photo migration, asset registers, and whether Xero or MYOB reconnection is in scope. We scope your Tradify setup first, then quote fixed price before any work starts.

How long do Tradify to Simpro migration services take?

About 3 to 6 weeks for most Australian trade businesses. Single-office plumbing or electrical crews finish faster. Multi-site setups with deep history and asset registers sit at the longer end.

Do you deliver custom Tradify to Simpro migration for trades?

Yes. Custom Tradify to Simpro migration is our core work, including Tradify forms rebuilt as Simpro custom forms with conditional logic, SWMS templates rebuilt in Simpro, and mobile sign-off recreated in the Simpro app.

Are you a Tradify Simpro migration company for Australian tradies?

Yes. We are a Perth-based Tradify Simpro migration company delivering nationally, with trade clients across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and regional Australia. Delivery is remote and the team is Australian.

Will we lose job history or site assets in the Tradify to Simpro data migration?

No. Every client, site, job record, photo, and signed compliance form is extracted from Tradify with validation at each step. Asset registers, serial numbers, and warranty data all carry across.

Can crews keep working in Tradify during the migration?

Yes. Tradify stays live until cutover. Parallel systems run for the final validation window so dispatch and field work never stop.

Do you rebuild the accounting integration on Simpro?

Yes. Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks Online sync from Simpro is scoped and configured as part of the migrate Tradify to Simpro project, along with tracking-category mapping for clean reporting.
