simPRO Software’s simPRO Enterprise product is ideal for electricians and helps them manage their operations with maximum efficiency, boosting productivity and profitability.

simPRO Software chief executive officer Brad Couper said effective scheduling was one of the main challenges for many electrical services firms.

“It’s not unusual to walk into an electrical contractor’s office and find a combination of inventive whiteboard layouts, spreadsheets, job cards, accounting systems, and printed and electronic documents,” he says.

“It is no easy task to keep track of technicians’ current jobs and locations, nor is it easy to get the final job information back from the field so you can invoice your customers and maintain your cash flow.

“simPRO Enterprise gives you clear visibility of all aspects of your business so you can make better decisions. The scheduling feature enables you to manage timesheets, keep track of your team’s job allocation, check the status of any job, and accurately manage labour costs.”

When paired with simPRO Connect, the status of each job is updated live from the field. Adding on simTRAC enables you to see the location of every job and your entire work fleet on a map. When emergency jobs come in, you can decide at a glance which technician should be dispatched to minimise the impact on scheduled work.

“simPRO Enterprise generates many standard reports built on metrics such as turnover, profitablility, and labour productivity,” Brad says.

“These reports enable you to consider the historical trends in your business when forecasting your requirements for the coming season, reducing some of the uncertainty in your planning.”
