AnswR + Simpro

Enterprise-grade AI phone answering for businesses running Simpro. Manage complex schedules across multiple teams, create jobs with full project context, and keep your Simpro data in sync — automatically.

How the Simpro Integration Works

AnswR connects to Simpro via the Build API using credentials you generate inside your Simpro instance. Once connected, the AI creates customer cards, books jobs against the correct site for multi-site customers, captures cost-centre information, and updates job notes from voice calls. Setup takes about ten minutes once the Build API is enabled.

Authenticate through the AnswR dashboard using your Simpro API credentials. AnswR configures the connection and maps your job types, staff, and service zones.

2

AI Understands Your Workforce

AnswR reads your Simpro schedules across all teams and contractors. It knows capacity, travel zones, and job durations — so it books intelligently.

Real Scenarios for Simpro Users

Multi-Team Dispatch

A commercial client calls about a HVAC breakdown. AnswR checks your Simpro schedule, identifies which team covers that zone and has capacity, creates the job under the correct project, and assigns it — all in one call.

After-Hours Overflow

Your office closes at 5 PM but calls keep coming. AnswR handles every after-hours call, creates jobs in Simpro with correct job types and priorities, and your dispatchers have a full queue ready each morning.

Scaling Without Admin Staff

You have grown from 10 to 40 staff but your admin team has not kept up. AnswR acts as your AI front desk, handling scheduling, customer lookups, and job creation at a fraction of the cost of another hire.

Simpro AI Integration for Growing Trade Businesses

Simpro is the platform of choice for mid-size trade businesses that have outgrown basic job management tools. But as your operation scales, the volume of inbound calls scales too — and every unanswered call is a missed opportunity.

AnswR's Simpro phone answering service gives you an enterprise-level receptionist without the enterprise-level cost. The AI understands your Simpro data structure — projects, cost centres, job types, staff capabilities — and uses that context to handle calls intelligently. It is not reading a script; it is reading your business.

Whether you are a 5-person plumbing shop or a 100-person fire protection company, AnswR adapts to your Simpro setup. The result: fewer missed calls, faster response times, and a phone experience that matches the professionalism of your on-site work.

FAQ

AnswR + Simpro — common questions

How does AnswR connect to Simpro?
AnswR connects to Simpro via the Simpro Build API with credentials you provide from your Simpro instance. The setup takes about ten minutes once you have the API access enabled. AnswR then creates jobs, captures customer details, and updates schedules.
What Simpro actions can the AI perform?
AnswR creates customer cards, books jobs with the correct customer and site, captures cost-centre information, and updates job notes from voice calls. Status lookups for existing jobs are supported so callers asking about their job get accurate answers.
Does AnswR support Simpro's multi-site customers?
Yes. AnswR asks which site the call relates to when an existing multi-site customer rings and books the job against the correct site record. This avoids the data-cleanup work that usually follows manual booking for multi-site clients.
Will my customers know they are speaking to an AI?
Most customers do not notice. AnswR uses regionally accurate accents — Australian, New Zealand, or Irish — and natural conversational tone. You can configure the AI to disclose that it is automated if you prefer transparency; many operators choose this and find it does not affect booking rates.
How much does an AI receptionist for small business cost?
AnswR plans start at $99 per month for 200 minutes of inbound calls. Pro at $199 covers 500 minutes plus 75 outbound appointment confirmations, suitable for businesses doing 3-5 jobs per day. Business at $399 covers 1,500 minutes and 200 confirmations for higher-volume operators. A 7-day free trial is available on every plan.
How long does AnswR take to set up?
Most businesses are live within 10-15 minutes. You connect a phone number, choose a voice that matches your region, plug in your CRM or calendar if you use one, and AnswR starts answering. There is no installation, no contracts, and the 7-day free trial requires no card details until you decide to continue.
