Seven new ways to win work, run jobs, and get paid, delivered faster with Simpro Lightning.
Powered by Lightning
These features require the Lightning platform upgrade.
Your AI dispatch brain. It automatically builds optimal daily schedules by weighing technician location, skill sets, licenses and certs, real-time availability, and full job history — slashing drive time and making sure the right tech shows up for the right job, maximizing billable hours every single day.
Close more work without leaving Simpro. A fully built-in CRM lets you track every lead, manage customer contacts, and convert opportunities straight into jobs — your sales process and your ops, finally in one place.
Kick off subcontractor work the moment you need it. Issue work orders and request quotes directly inside Simpro — every request tracked from first contact to job completion, with no email chains or lost approvals.
Own the full sub money cycle inside Simpro. Receive quotes, approve them, and process invoices — all automatically tied back to the job. No manual reconciliation, no switching systems.
Full stock control from any job site. Check materials, transfer stock between vehicles, and run stocktakes right from your phone — field teams arrive prepared and inventory stays accurate, no office trip required.
Compliance on autopilot. Intelligent digital forms guide engineers through every required step on-site and store everything automatically the moment the job is done. Highly configurable by administrators, with new infrastructure to support F-Gas and safety-critical records.
The app your field team will actually want to use. Built from scratch for real working conditions — faster, cleaner, and reliable whether your crew is on a rooftop or underground. Managing jobs, capturing data, and staying connected has never been this simple.
Other Features
Forty-six features you rely on every day — reworked and deepened with AI at the core. Every one comes straight from your requests. The biggest are spotlighted below as cards; the rest are listed beneath. This is what it looks like when your platform listens.

Your service agreements, running on autopilot. Automatically generates recurring jobs from maintenance contracts, tracks SLA compliance in real time, and keeps your team on schedule — so no service visit ever slips through the cracks.
Highly RequestedEstimate faster, win at better margins. Measure and price materials directly from digital plans inside your quote — eliminating manual counting errors and cutting estimating time so you can submit more bids, more competitively.
Highly RequestedTotal fleet visibility, live inside Simpro. Track every vehicle and asset on a real-time map, compare Simpro timesheet data to real GPS truck data for compliance from one console, and let service data update Simpro’s part and equipment tracking automatically — no more manual work.
Highly RequestedSchedule global teams without the guesswork. Times display correctly for every employee, everywhere — no mental math, no missed appointments, no timezone mix-ups.
Highly RequestedFull traceability, from purchase to installation. Track every item by serial number through its entire lifecycle — exact visibility for warranties, compliance audits, and complete asset history, always at your fingertips.
Highly RequestedTurn discovered work into won work, instantly. Generate a new quote directly from an active job — no re-entering details, no lost context — so every upsell opportunity gets captured before your team drives away.
Highly RequestedYour AI business analyst, smarter than ever. Expanded data coverage means JustAsk can answer a wider range of questions about your business — deeper insights, broader scope, all in plain language.
Highly RequestedTurn a customer ‘yes’ into cash in minutes. Send polished online quotes with multiple options, auto-raise the invoice on acceptance, and deliver a payment link automatically — the entire cycle without lifting a finger.
Stop waiting until the end to get paid. Set project milestones and Simpro automatically raises an invoice as each stage is completed — smoother cash flow, fewer end-of-project payment disputes. Also a mandatory function for AIA compliance.
Your operational data, exactly where you need it. Push data from any feed into Simpro. Enhancements to the existing data feed make it simple to build and manage feeds.
Ditch the paper forever. Field teams complete structured digital forms on-site — capturing signatures, photos, and answers — with everything available in the back office the moment they submit, all in a single app. No switching between a forms app and the core Simpro app.
Stop chasing invoices for your best customers. Configure scheduled auto-collection once and Simpro takes care of payment every time — consistent cash, zero admin overhead.
Protect your payroll numbers after sign-off. Lock timesheets once approved to prevent last-minute edits that distort job costs or create compliance risk — what’s approved, stays approved.
Buy smarter on every security and low-voltage job. Direct integration with ADI’s full catalog puts accurate pricing and one-click purchasing inside Simpro — faster orders, fewer errors.
A complete history of every number you’ve ever quoted. Compare versions, track changes, and mark up plans — giving you and your customer a clear, defensible record of how the price was built.
Revise with confidence, never lose your history. Update quotes cleanly while automatically preserving every prior version — so there’s no ambiguity about what changed, when, or why.
Remove the friction that costs you deals. Let customers accept specific sections or options — not just the whole quote — so you capture partial wins and keep the conversation moving forward.
One-click collection for your best customers. Securely store payment details and charge repeat customers instantly — less friction at checkout, faster cash in your account.
Find any document, instantly. A redesigned file management system makes it easy to organize, search, and access documents across every job, quote, and customer record — no more hunting through folders.
Right parts, every time. Before dispatch, JobReady shows stock across every van and storeroom — so technicians always leave with exactly what they need and never make a second trip.
Stay ahead of the week, not just the day. JobReady’s next-day and three-day views give field teams a clear window into upcoming work — so crews prep tonight for tomorrow and arrive on-site ready to go.
Large numbers on asset test readings now display with proper thousands separators in the mobile app — easier to read, harder to misinterpret on site.
We're publishing the entire list. Every customer-requested improvement in this storm, big and small, so you can see the full scale of what's been delivered and find the updates you've been waiting for.
