Fire compliance working on day one, with no implementation project and no quote.
Simpro is a powerful, enterprise-grade platform used right across the trades, but it’s quote-based with paid implementation, and reviewers consistently flag a steep learning curve. traqR gives small-to-mid Australian fire contractors AS 1851 routine servicing, AFSS readiness, fire asset registers and site audits already configured, for one flat published price.

Simpro is a broad platform you configure to your trade. traqR arrives already shaped for fire protection, with AS 1851-2012 service tables, fire asset types from indicator panels to passive penetrations, twenty-plus site audit types and AFSS readiness tracking.

Simpro pricing is quote-based with add-ons. traqR is a flat monthly price by team size, with every feature included.
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.
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.
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.
Print QR tags in your branding, and technicians test against the register in the field app from the first visit.
For small-to-mid Australian fire contractors, yes. traqR covers the same quote-to-cash workflow (jobs, scheduling, POs, assets and reporting) and comes pre-shaped for fire with AS 1851 routine servicing, AFSS readiness, test reports and site audits, at a flat all-inclusive price with no paid implementation.
Generally yes. Simpro is enterprise software that reviewers describe as powerful but complex, often needing dedicated setup. traqR is designed to be set up and run by a fire contractor’s own team directly.
Simpro doesn’t publish pricing. It’s quote-based with separate implementation fees. traqR publishes flat monthly pricing from $149/month with every feature included.
Every feature, free for 14 days. No credit card required. Run traqR against your current tool on a real AS 1851 contract and decide for yourself.
