Job management and field service

Simpro and Claude

Simpro holds your job costing, your quotes and your schedule, and getting an answer out of it usually means knowing which report to run. The Helm Connector for Simpro puts that data behind a conversation. Ask which jobs are tracking over budget, what is still out with a customer, or how many hours went to a job last week, and Claude reads it straight from your Simpro build. It is read-only: the connector authenticates as a Simpro user with read permissions only, so nothing it does can change a job, a quote or an invoice.

Questions you can ask

  • Which jobs are tracking over budget this month?
  • What quotes are still open with this customer?
  • How many hours went to job 4821 last week?
  • Which invoices are outstanding and how old are they?
  • What is scheduled for the team on Thursday?
  • Show me committed versus actual cost on our biggest job
  • Which customer has the most work in progress right now?

What it can do

Search jobs

Finds jobs in Simpro by customer, site, status or date range. Use this to answer questions like which jobs are open for a customer, what was raised last month, or which jobs are sitting at a particular stage. Returns a list of summaries; use get_job for the full detail of one of them.

Get a job

Returns the full detail Simpro holds for one job, including customer, site, stage, dates and totals. Use it once you know the job number. If you only have a customer or a description, use search_jobs first.

Get job costs

Returns the cost breakdown for one job by cost centre, including committed and actual cost against the estimate. This is the tool for questions about whether a job is tracking to budget, where the overspend sits, or how much is still committed but not yet invoiced.

Search quotes

Finds quotes in Simpro by customer, status or date range. Use it for questions about what is still out with a customer, what was quoted in a period, or which quotes have been accepted. Returns summaries; use get_quote for the detail of one.

Get a quote

Returns the full detail Simpro holds for one quote, including customer, site, stage, dates and totals. Use it once you know the quote number.

Find a customer

Looks up a customer in Simpro by name or by id. Use it to resolve a customer name before searching jobs or quotes, or to check the contact and billing details Simpro holds. Give either a search term or an id, not both.

Find a site

Looks up a site in Simpro by name or by id. Use it when a question is about a location rather than a customer, for example which jobs are running at a particular building. Give either a search term or an id, not both.

Get the schedule

Returns scheduled work for a date or a date range, optionally for one employee. Use it for questions about who is on site today, what is booked in for the week, or whether someone has capacity.

Get a timesheet summary

Returns recorded time for a period, optionally narrowed to one employee or one job. Use it for questions about hours booked to a job, how a week looked for a team member, or where labour time is going. Returns the individual entries and a total of the hours.

Get invoice status

Reports where an invoice sits: raised, sent, part paid or settled. Give an invoice number for one invoice, or a job number to see every invoice raised against that job. Use it for questions about what is outstanding and how old it is.
