AroFlo

Job management for Australian and New Zealand trade contractors, now part of the Simpro Group

As of 31 August 2026, AroFlo's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. Australian field service and job management software built around trade compliance paperwork and supplier catalogues. Softwr lists it under Field Service. AroFlo is made by AroFlo (Simpro Group), available on Web, iOS, Android.

Overview

What AroFlo does

AroFlo is a cloud job management system for trade and field service businesses: quoting, scheduling, timesheets, mobile job cards, asset registers, inventory and invoicing, with accounting sync out to Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks and Reckon. The mobile side is designed for technicians filling in compliance and safety forms on site rather than for office dispatchers, and the product carries a large library of pre-built Australian trade forms. The distinguishing fact is ownership. AroFlo was acquired by simPRO (now Simpro Group) in November 2021 as part of a K1 Investment Management growth round, and Simpro has since added ClockShark and BigChange. A buyer comparing AroFlo against Simpro or BigChange is comparing three products with one owner and one investor, which matters because it constrains how differentiated they will stay and who has an incentive to migrate you between them. Simpro has kept the brands and product teams separate so far, but that is a commercial decision that can be reversed. Buyers are electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire protection and facilities maintenance contractors in Australia and New Zealand, typically with five to a hundred field staff. The trade-off is regional: the supplier catalogue integrations, the compliance form library and the accounting connectors are built for the Australasian market, so a UK or North American contractor gets a product whose best parts do not apply to them. AroFlo no longer publishes prices, so every deal starts with a sales conversation.

What people use it for

  • An Australian electrical contractor with thirty technicians that needs SWMS and test-and-tag certificates completed on the phone and attached to the job automatically
  • A plumbing business that wants live wholesaler pricing pulled into quotes so margins are not eroded by stale cost prices
  • A fire protection company running recurring statutory inspections against a register of customer assets across many sites
  • A New Zealand facilities maintenance firm that needs job costing to reconcile cleanly into Xero without a manual export step

The honest half

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about 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.

Answered, with sources

Questions people ask

Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.

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.

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.

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.

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.
