You plan based on availability, skills and location. The schedule is kept in one central place, and your technicians see it live in the app on their phone.<\/p>\n<p>With Simple-Simon, the difference compared with a calendar or Excel file is the connection between planning and execution. A calendar only shows an appointment. What you schedule on the <a href=\"https:\/\/simple-simon.com\/en\/features\/digital-planboard\/\">digital planning board<\/a> becomes a job sheet, including customer details, checklists, materials and a signature. What your technician enters in the <a href=\"https:\/\/simple-simon.com\/en\/features\/job-sheet-app\/\">job sheet app<\/a> is available back at the office within seconds. This makes planning, execution and invoicing one connected workflow instead of three separate systems.<\/p>\n<p>Most companies that switch come from a whiteboard on the wall, an Excel file that is already outdated as soon as it is shared, and a WhatsApp group where planning changes get lost between photos. Simple-Simon replaces all three with one screen, and your first job sheet can be in the system within five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\t<section class=\"theme-section theme-split theme-content-variable active text-left theme-p-sm\">\n\t\t<div class=\"theme-content-variable__row theme-content-variable__card theme-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-md-between \">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-5 p-0 order-md-2 order-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"theme-content-variable__card-img img-scale\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img alt=\"Monteur krijgt uitleg over de Simple-Simon werkbon app tijdens een praktijktraining in de werkplaats.\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/simple-simon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/V3-Final-NL-Captions.00_01_06_09.Still012.png\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-6 order-md-1 order-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"theme-content-variable__row-content theme-content-variable__card-content text-left \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"root\">\n<div class=\"relative flex flex-col Layout-SYw9n4\" data-app-shell-compact-page-gutter=\"true\" data-app-shell-page-surface=\"false\" data-app-shell-feature-navigation=\"false\" data-app-shell-frame=\"true\" data-app-shell-application-menu-bar=\"false\" data-app-shell-responsive-sidebar=\"true\" data-app-shell-sidebar-open=\"true\" data-app-shell-page-sidebar=\"false\">\n<div class=\"relative flex max-h-full min-h-0 w-full flex-1 isolate\" data-app-shell-workspace-row=\"true\">\n<h2>The right technician for the right job<\/h2>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/simple-simon.com\/en\/work-order-type-pro\/\">Job Sheet Type PRO<\/a>, you can record which certificates each employee has, which types of jobs they are qualified to carry out and which region they work in.

Simple-Simon is used in industries including installation engineering, plumbing, electrical engineering, refrigeration and heating, drainage, security, fire safety, cleaning, landscaping, machine maintenance, door and gate engineering and commercial kitchen equipment. The underlying process is the same in all of them: scheduling, carrying out the work, recording and invoicing.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"theme-faq__question\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><div class=\"theme-faq__question-title\" itemprop=\"name\">What should I look for when choosing field service scheduling software?<\/div><div class=\"theme-faq__question-answer\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div itemprop=\"text\">Focus on five things. Does the app work offline, so a technician can keep working without a signal? Is the work order in the same system as the scheduling, or do you still have to retype everything? Does it connect to your accounting software? How quickly are you up and running: days or months? And are you tied to an annual contract? Not with Simple-Simon. You don\u2019t sign a contract, you pay per user per month and you can cancel monthly. You pause or change licences yourself whenever your team shrinks or grows. Simple-Simon is up and running within a day and connects to more than 70 systems.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"theme-faq__question\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><div class=\"theme-faq__question-title\" itemprop=\"name\">How much does field service scheduling software cost?<\/div><div class=\"theme-faq__question-answer\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div itemprop=\"text\">Simple-Simon costs \u20ac30 per user per month. That includes the planning board, the work order app, time tracking and material tracking. There\u2019s no contract and no minimum commitment; you adjust the number of licences each month. You can try Simple-Simon free for two weeks.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"theme-faq__question\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><div class=\"theme-faq__question-title\" itemprop=\"name\">Does it work on Android too?<\/div><div class=\"theme-faq__question-answer\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div itemprop=\"text\">Yes. The Simple-Simon app works on Android and iOS, on both phones and tablets. So your technicians can use their own phones, and you don\u2019t need to buy any new devices.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"theme-section theme-m-sm-t\">\n\n\t<div
