Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

AroFlo

  • AroFlo, Simpro, BigChange and ClockShark now share one owner in Simpro Group, so a shortlist that compares them is comparing products with a single roadmap owner and no competitive pressure between them to keep prices down.
  • No pricing is published at all, so you cannot size a budget before entering a sales process, and there is no public reference point to check whether the quote you are given is normal.
  • The supplier catalogue feeds, compliance form library and accounting connectors are built for Australia and New Zealand, so contractors elsewhere pay for a product whose most differentiated features do not apply to their market.
  • The interface carries a long history and the configuration surface is large, so getting the workflow, custom fields and forms right typically needs paid setup and several weeks before the field team stops working around it.
  • Reporting is user-defined rather than dimensional, so multi-entity groups that want consolidated profitability across business units generally end up exporting to a spreadsheet or a separate BI tool.

Skedulo

  • Not a trades suite: no estimating, invoicing or customer-facing quoting pipeline
  • Quote-only pricing with no published rates
  • Heavily oriented to Salesforce, and less compelling without it
  • Optimisation quality depends on accurate skill and availability data, which is a data-hygiene commitment

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

AroFlo: Is AroFlo still sold separately from Simpro?

Yes. Simpro Group has kept AroFlo, Simpro, BigChange and ClockShark as separate products with separate sales teams, though all four are under one owner.

Skedulo: What does Skedulo cost?

Quoted per organisation and not published.

AroFlo: How much does AroFlo cost?

AroFlo does not publish prices. Expect a per-user monthly figure in AUD quoted after a discovery call, with setup and training charged on top.

Skedulo: Is it a field service suite?

No. It solves scheduling and dispatch for deskless workers. Contractors wanting estimating and invoicing should look at ServiceTitan or Jobber.

AroFlo: Can I use AroFlo outside Australia?

You can, but the wholesaler price feeds, compliance templates and accounting integrations are aimed at Australia and New Zealand, which removes much of the reason to choose it.

Skedulo: Do I need Salesforce?

No, but its Salesforce integration is a large part of the appeal and it is less compelling without it.

AroFlo: Does it work offline?

Yes. The mobile app stores job data locally and syncs when a connection returns, which matters for plant rooms and rural sites.
