Editor's verdict on Simpro
Simpro is the most powerful option in this category for Irish trades contractors with 15 or more engineers, complex multi-trade project work, or significant FM contract portfolios. Its estimating, project costing, and contract management capabilities exceed what Joblogic or Commusoft offer at scale. VAT is configurable for Irish rates and the UK-hosted deployment addresses GDPR data residency. However, RCT and Reverse Charge VAT for Irish principal contractors are not handled natively - Sage is the standard pairing for those obligations. The cost and complexity are real; smaller trades businesses will find Tradify, ServiceM8, or Jobber much easier to adopt and sustain.
