Where it is strong

  • Australian-founded (Brisbane, 2002) with Queensland offices and AU, NZ, UK and US presence
  • Xero link is two-way for invoices, payments, contacts, tax rates and credit notes, and pushes timesheets to Xero in Australia and New Zealand
  • MYOB marketplace listing covers AccountRight, MYOB Business and MYOB Acumatica
  • Simpro Mobile rated 4.1 from 510 ratings on the Australian App Store
  • One system for projects, service, maintenance, inventory and assets, with 100K+ Android installs

Where it falls short

  • Xero App Store rating is 3.6 from 69 reviews with 24% one-star, citing slow support, supplier invoice sync problems and cost
  • Google Play rating 3.7 from 902 reviews; reviewers say mobile entries can differ from the web client
  • App Store reviewers say the advertised offline mode does not work without a good connection
  • Xero reviewers describe paid setup, paid training and minimum contract terms
  • Vendor website, helpdesk and pricing all block automated access, so features and support hours could not be verified from the source

Verdict

Simpro is the Australian-founded heavyweight for established contractors that run projects, service and maintenance work, with mature Xero and MYOB links. Review scores sit in the middle (3.6 on the Xero App Store, 3.7 on Google Play, 4.1 on the AU App Store) and support speed, setup cost and offline reliability are the recurring complaints. Pricing could not be read here and is quote-led according to reviewers.

Docsdeveloper.simprogroup.com

developer.simprogroup.com (and simprogroup.com) sit behind a Cloudflare JS challenge: curl and WebFetch get 403, so the sample pages were confirmed in a browser (fetch_ok false for scripted fetching). The Developer Center is a single-page 'Simpro Software API' site (v1.0) whose pages are addressed by ?page=<hash>; sections: Getting Started, People, Projects, Materials, Payments and Invoicing, Setup, Reports, Others, plus a Forum. Vendor describes it as a RESTful API built to a Swagger / OpenAPI 2.0 spec (spec downloadable from the apidoc landing page). Endpoints are per customer build, e.g. /api/v1.0/companies/{companyID}/... (companyID 0 unless multi-company). Five auth methods: OAuth2 authorisation code, implicit, resource owner credentials and client credentials grants, plus an API key (a single access token that never expires, for whole-system access); the grant-types page then links to app registration instructions. Webhook subscriptions API at /api/v1.0/companies/{companyID}/setup/webhooks/ (Name, CallbackURL, Secret, Email, Events enum such as asset.created/updated/deleted, contact.*). Rate limits are not stated on the pages read; third-party guides report 10 requests per second (unconfirmed). Partner program for multi-customer integrations at simprogroup.com/partners (Cloudflare blocked). Simpro Marketplace at marketplace.simprogroup.com loads (200). MCP: community ozmarks/simpro-mcp (npm @ozmarks-group/simpro-mcp-server, 'unofficial'); none from Simpro. make.com/en/integrations/simpro falls back to the Make homepage.
