What training is available?

There are fewer screens and clearer buttons and text than ever before! Most staff will be able to learn without much help. But we also suggest getting staff to use the simPRO Learning l Toolbox. It includes free, self-paced learning modules to help your team master simPRO Mobile. Visit the simPRO Learning l Toolbox to get started.

Are simPRO Mobile and the Service module different apps?

If you are new to simPRO Mobile, you might be wondering about how simPRO Mobile and the modules align.

simPRO Mobile is an app which can be downloaded from Google Play or the Apple App Store. Depending on the type of job your mobile workforce does, you can add or remove modules to suit the technicians’ workflow.

In addition to the new Service module, simPRO Mobile currently offers a Timesheet module and a Quote and Sales module.

Do I need to buy extra licences to use the Service module?

All simPRO Mobile modules, including the new Service module, are included in the simPRO Mobile licence.

Each field technician using the app will need to have a simPRO Mobile licence assigned to them. In the past, some customers have referred to this licence as a Connect or field licence. You can check your simPRO Mobile licence numbers from the System menu at the top left of the screen within simPRO.
