Why connect Simpro to an RPL portfolio
Updated 9 November 2026 · Australia
Simpro is often the system of record for a contractor that has outgrown a shared inbox. The people, the sites, and the finished work are in it. An RPL portfolio that cannot see Simpro asks every worker to become a clerk.
The business already recorded the work
Maintenance visits, installs, and call-outs land in Simpro with an address, a date, and a description. That is years of evidence for the people who attended. It is not organised as units of competency, so it cannot yet show a gap or a shareable file.
Asking each worker to export their own history does not happen. The ones who are good on the tools are the ones who will not spend the night copying job numbers. The connection is how the business keeps them, by making the upskill visible without a second job.
What the connection is allowed to move
Finished jobs for the person who connects. Site, date, and notes. A job already filed is skipped. New finished jobs follow. The worker confirms what is theirs. The employer can see the gap and assign the missing piece on a live job.
It will not move the whole company’s commercial history into one person’s portfolio. It will not decide competence. It will not nominate a licence.
Not switched on
Simpro is Soon. There is no Connect button, because the sign-in is not live. When it is, Connect will be the button that starts the account link. Until then, one job can be entered by hand.
Soon means the sign-in is not on. You can still file one finished job, and you still confirm the links.
