03 / Before you decide
A few practical questions.
Bring your existing process to a demo and see how the records and responsibilities would fit.
Is Stelix a Simpro alternative?
For builders and contractors whose work is mostly construction projects. Simpro is field service management for trades such as electrical, plumbing, HVAC, security and fire protection, covering service, maintenance and project jobs. Stelix is built for owners running several construction projects who need programmes, procurement, variations, safety, quality records and handover in one place.
Which is better for service and maintenance work?
Simpro. It is designed around dispatching technicians, recurring asset maintenance, inventory and invoicing service jobs. If most of your work is call-outs and maintenance visits, Simpro is built for that.
Which is better for builders running several projects?
Stelix. Each project keeps its programme, commercial records, contractor competency, ITPs, defects, WHS records and client sign-off together, and the dashboard shows what needs attention across every job.
How much do Stelix and Simpro cost?
Simpro uses custom pricing quoted for your team size and add-ons, with an initial setup fee for onboarding, training and data migration (see simprogroup.com/au/pricing). Stelix offers a Custom package priced on the tools you choose, or the Full platform at A$2,000 per month per company including GST (see /pricing).
Do both work with Xero?
Yes. Simpro integrates with Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks and Sage. Stelix has an existing Xero connection for accounting information.
Can I try them first?
Simpro offers a tailored demo with a local consultant rather than a self-serve trial. Stelix also starts with a demo: bring a real project and the tools you use today.
