Plumbing and Heating Software: Always Send the Right Engineer to the Right Job

A customer calls: their boiler has stopped working. It’s half past seven in the morning. Which of your engineers is closest? Does he have any jobs already booked today? And is there also a leaking pipe at that address that’s been reported three times already?

 

With Simple-Simon you have this sorted in seconds. You see immediately who is available, update the schedule on the planning board, and the engineer receives the job sheet with the full customer history directly on his phone. No phone calls, no missing information.

 

Simple-Simon is built for plumbers and installation companies: from the job sheet app for the engineer on-site to automatic boiler service scheduling and direct integration with your accounting package.

Plan boiler services per customer and location

You manage dozens of boilers across multiple customer sites. Each boiler has its own service interval, warranty period and maintenance history. With Simple-Simon you record every boiler as an object, linked to the correct address and customer.

Via the digital planning board, you can see which boilers are due for service in the coming period. You schedule jobs per location — one engineer, multiple installations at the same address, in a single visit. When the engineer arrives, he has the full history of that boiler on his phone.

Emergency call-outs: plan boiler breakdowns straight away

A boiler breaks down at a customer’s premises. You can immediately see which of your engineers is available nearby. You drag the job to that engineer on the planning board, and he receives the update instantly in the job sheet app. Via the customer communication module, Simple-Simon automatically sends the customer a confirmation with the expected arrival time.

Schedule and record drain maintenance

Drainage systems require periodic maintenance and inspection. You schedule service visits in Simple-Simon based on the maintenance contract with the customer, and your engineer records everything on-site: findings, photos of the condition of the drain, and all work carried out.

You set a maintenance interval per customer or object. Simple-Simon automatically shows which addresses are due in the coming period. This way you never miss a service visit and you can proactively inform your customer via the customer communication module.

Everything Explained Simply. In Less Than a Minute

If only Simple-Simon had come your way sooner!

Duidelijke planning

A clear planning overview for your engineers at all times

Via the digital planning board, you can see at a glance which of your engineers is available, which jobs are in progress, and where there are open slots in the schedule. When there’s an emergency call-out or a change, you drag the job to the available engineer he gets the update on his phone instantly.

Does the appointment change for the customer too? Via the customer communication module, Simple-Simon automatically sends the customer a message with the new arrival time. No manual calling, no customers left wondering when the plumber is arriving.

Informatie direct toegankelijk

Digital job sheet with checklists, photos and service history

Your engineer opens the job sheet app on his phone and immediately sees the assignment: which customer, which address, which installation, and what was done previously. He doesn’t need to call the office for background information — it’s all in the job sheet.

Via the custom forms module, you set up checklists for each type of job: a boiler service has different mandatory fields than a leak repair or a drain inspection. Your engineer completes the correct checklist, adds photos as evidence, and gets the customer to sign directly on his phone.

Periodiek onderhoud plannen

Automatic repeat scheduling for periodic maintenance

Boilers need to be serviced annually for warranty and safety reasons. Cylinders and other heating installations have their own maintenance intervals. You set the interval per installation, and Simple-Simon automatically shows which customers are due in the coming period.

Your planner creates job sheets based on that overview, grouped by area or postcode. Your engineer covers his route efficiently and you handle multiple customers in a single run. No missed services, no customers falling outside their warranty.

Track boilers, cylinders and installations per customer

You record every installed boiler, hot water cylinder, water heater or heating system in Simple-Simon’s asset management software. Per object you register the manufacturer, model, installation date, warranty date and serial number.

Your engineer visits a customer and knows exactly which boiler is installed, when it was fitted, and what was done at the last service visit. No calling the office, no searching through spreadsheets.

Based on the maintenance history, you can proactively advise the customer: a boiler that has had the same fault several times is a candidate for replacement. This increases your revenue and builds customer trust.

From job sheet to invoice: done as soon as the job is finished

Your engineer finishes the job and the customer signs digitally. The office archives the job sheet and the hours and materials flow automatically into your accounting package as a draft invoice. No manual re-entry, no spreadsheet reconciliation, no missing invoice lines.

Simple-Simon integrates with QuickBooks, Xero, Sage and more than 80 other packages. View all available integrations to find the right connection for your workflow.
