Tier A · Listed

Job, project and service management software for trade contractors, founded in Brisbane and now run by Simpro Group

Simpro is job, project and service management software for trade contractors. It started in Brisbane and is now run by Simpro Group, which received a growth investment of over US$350 million from K1 in November 2021 and then bought AroFlo and ClockShark, followed by BigChange in October 2024. The group named Miami its North America headquarters in December 2025 and launched an AI platform called Lightning in May 2026.

Pros

+ Pricing tailored to team size (office and field users) and the add-ons you choose
+ Well-funded owner: K1 invested over US$350 million in the business in 2021
+ Ongoing AI development: Lightning platform (May 2026) plus AI scheduling, CRM and safety tools (July 2026)
+ Australian-founded, with a sister product (AroFlo) in the same group

Cons

− No public prices: you need a sales quote
− Initial setup fee for onboarding, training and data migration
− Add-ons change the price, so compare full quotes including setup

Australia note

Founded in Brisbane. The same group also owns AroFlo, a Melbourne-based job management product for Australian and New Zealand trades, so Australian buyers can compare both from one owner.

Typical Australia pricing: Quote-based; no public prices. Simpro says pricing depends on team size (office and field users) and add-ons, plus an initial setup fee
