Why fire contractors look beyond Simpro

Shaped for fire already

AS 1851 routines, fire asset registers, testing on the phone and the NSW AFSS are built in rather than configured.

No implementation project

Simpro quotes separately for implementation. traqR is set up by importing your register, clients and staff and building your contracts.

Easier to learn

Reviewers flag Simpro’s learning curve. traqR is built around the work a fire office and field team do every day.

A price on the page

Simpro prices on a quote, per user. traqR publishes flat tiers by team size from $149/month.

Where Simpro is strong

Deep, enterprise-grade platform covering complex end-to-end operations.
Powerful job costing, inventory and project profitability.

Switching from Simpro to traqR

  1. STEP 1
    Bring the asset register across

    Export the register from your current system as a spreadsheet and import it from Excel or CSV, including workbooks with several sheets. Columns are matched automatically, and anything that does not match is kept as custom fields or notes.

  2. STEP 2
    Import clients, staff and stock

    Clients come in from CSV, Excel, Numbers or ODS with a preview of every row before anything is added. Staff and stock lists import from spreadsheets too.

  3. STEP 3
    Set up the service contracts

    Build each contract in the guided service contract quote: sites, AS 1851 services and frequencies, pricing and renewal terms. On approval every visit for the term is planned and the invoices are scheduled.

  4. STEP 4
    Tag the assets and start testing

    Print QR tags in your branding, and technicians test against the register in the field app from the first visit.
