In support of these businesses, Simpro, a prominent provider of field service management software, has committed $50,000 to assist its customers who have been affected by the fires. The company is also offering a 50% reduction in software fees for new customers based in California for the first year of service.
Helping Rebuild Los Angeles
Simpro's commitment to supporting growth-oriented trade businesses in a crucial time for Los Angeles
This initiative seeks to empower trade businesses to recover with resilience. According to Gary Specter, CEO of Simpro, “Tradespeople are the crucial cornerstone of every recovery effort.

Specter added that many of these businesses and their employees have faced impacts themselves, reinforcing Simpro's commitment to supporting growth-oriented trade businesses in a crucial time for Los Angeles.

The discount opportunity is available immediately and will last until February 28, 2025, for all trade and field service businesses either incorporated in California or having their main office there.
