    Chime Labs and Simpro.

    Chime checks your Simpro staff availability, matches the right appointment length to the job, and books it in, without an office admin in the middle.

    The software is not the gap. The unanswered call is

    Simpro is powerful, and that power costs time on the phone. Someone has to check who is free, work out how long the job will take, find a slot and enter it.

    If that person is already juggling ten other things, the call waits, and the lead goes cold.

    What the connection does

    Inside Simpro, day to day

    01

    Multi-staff scheduling

    Availability is checked across the crew, not one calendar, so nobody sits idle while another tech is overbooked.

    02

    Appointment lengths that fit

    A quick inspection gets a shorter slot than a full install, based on how you have configured your job types.

    03

    Straight into the job queue

    New jobs land in the Simpro queue with the scope, location and urgency already captured.

    04

    No double entry

    What the caller said is what the job says. Nothing is retyped from a message pad.

    A record, not a message

    What exactly lands in Simpro when a call ends?

    Most AI phone products end a call by sending someone a message: a text, an email or an enquiry that waits in an inbox for an admin to type up. Chime ends the call by creating the job and the scheduled appointment in Simpro.

    Customer and site
    The caller is matched to the existing Simpro customer and site, or added if they are new, so the job hangs off the right record.
    Job address
    The site address confirmed on the call, written to the job rather than left in a note.
    Job type
    Mapped to your Simpro job types, which is also what sets a realistic appointment length.
    Description
    The scope as the caller described it, including access and the contact who will be there.
    Booked time
    A Simpro appointment against real staff availability, with the duration matched to the job type.
    Assigned staff
    The first genuinely free technician across the staff you nominate, rather than a default name.

    The alternative is a message someone re-keys later. A message at 9pm is work still to do; a booked Simpro job is work already done.

    •Call flow

    What happens when someone calls

    1. 01

      Nobody is free to answer

      The team is on site, the office is swamped, and the call diverts to Chime.

    2. 02

      The job type is identified

      Chime maps the conversation to your Simpro job types.

    3. 03

      Availability is checked

      Staff calendars are queried for the next genuine slot.

    4. 04

      The appointment is created

      A confirmed Simpro appointment with the customer, job type and assigned staff.

    In practice

    The schedule you see is the schedule you can actually run

    A booking is only useful if it fits the day. Chime books against real availability and realistic durations, so the run sheet holds together.

    Your coordinator reviews the board rather than rebuilding it.

    Who it suits

    Is the Simpro connection right for you?

    Simpro is built for mid-size trade businesses running multiple staff across multiple sites. If your operation has grown past a shared calendar, this connection keeps incoming calls from becoming the bottleneck.

    If your work is site-based and compliance-heavy, AroFlo covers similar ground. See the AroFlo integration.

    Smaller crews often run ServiceM8 instead. See the ServiceM8 integration.
