Frequently asked questions about installer software
What is installer software?
Installer software is a digital platform that enables installation companies to manage their scheduling, digital job sheets, time tracking and invoicing all within a single system. Technicians work on-site using an app, whilst the planner maintains an overview via the office module. This eliminates paperwork and ensures no information is lost between the technician and the administration. Suitable for small businesses with a few technicians up to larger installation companies with multiple teams.
What is a digital job sheet for installation services?
A digital job sheet for installation engineering is a job sheet that is completed entirely within the app on site. The technician records materials used, hours worked, before-and-after photos, and has the customer sign digitally. Attachments such as VCA checklists, Gas Boiler Act documentation and previous work history are immediately available from the same job sheet.
Can I link VCA forms and my own documentation to a job sheet?
Yes. Using the custom forms feature, you can create your own checklists and documentation forms, such as VCA safety checks or mandatory documentation for specific installations. You link these as fixed attachments to a job sheet type, so your technicians never miss them.
Does Simple-Simon work even if the technician doesn’t have an internet connection?
Yes. The app works offline. Data is stored locally and automatically synchronised as soon as a connection is re-established. Ideal for technicians working in basements, technical rooms or locations with no signal.
What makes Simple-Simon different from FieldBuddy for installers?
Simple-Simon is ready to use straight away for €30 per user per month, with no complex implementation process. FieldBuddy is built on Salesforce and starts at €39 per user, with a significantly longer implementation time. For installation companies that want to digitise quickly and do not need an enterprise-level implementation, Simple-Simon is the more practical choice.
