Los Angeles, CA – January 21, 2025 – As Los Angeles recovers from the devastating wildfires—local trade and field service businesses are facing the dual challenge of rebuilding their own operations while supporting the massive reconstruction efforts ahead. In response, Simpro, a global field service management software provider, is supporting local businesses by pledging $50,000 to help Simpro customers impacted by the fires. Additionally, Simpro is offering a 50% discount on software fees for the first 12 months to any new California-based customers.
Helping Rebuild Los Angeles
This initiative aims to empower trade businesses to rebuild and move forward with resilience.
“Tradespeople are the crucial cornerstone of every recovery effort,” said Gary Specter, CEO of Simpro. “These are the electricians who will restore power, contractors who will rebuild the homes that were lost, the plumbers who will rebuild the water systems, and the HVAC professionals who will make buildings habitable again. Many of these trade businesses and their employees have themselves been impacted by this tragedy. We proudly stand by our mission to support growth-minded trade businesses when LA needs them most.”
Practical Support for Immediate Challenges
The discount offer is available immediately through February 28, 2025, to all trade and field service businesses incorporated in California or with their head office located in California. The support includes:
- Full access to the Premium platform
- Priority onboarding
- Dedicated training resources
Here are just a few ways Simpro can assist businesses in managing disaster recovery:
- Real-time scheduling & dispatch for emergency response
- Mobile capabilities for field teams in affected areas
- Inventory management to ensure materials are available for rebuilding
- Asset management to track lost assets and equipment conditions for insurance, warranty, and replacement, with the potential for expanding services to enhance future disaster preparedness

Simpro has created a dedicated landing page for California businesses to ensure quick access to the platform for those in need.
