Simpro’s latest update reveals your techie’s legal liabilities
If you run a commercial electrical or fire safety crew out of Wacol, your dispatch desk is a liability hazard.
Compliance Check: Simpro Premium 26.1.2 On January 27, 2026, Simpro released Premium Update 26.1.2. This patch addressed a critical compliance gap: previously, if your technicians had critical licences that expired, they were still showing up as preferred technicians in customers and sites. Now, technicians with expired licences will be hidden.
You are risking catastrophic compliance fines and voided insurance policies because your dispatch system is sending unlicenced workers to site.
The Mechanical Failure
Before this patch, if a subcontractor’s elevated work platform (EWP) ticket or electrical licence expired, the software did not stop your admin from scheduling them as the preferred contractor for a commercial warehouse in Wacol. Your admin team does not check physical cards before every job; they trust the scheduling software. If an unlicenced technician steps on a commercial site, your business assumes the legal risk. Bad data in your infrastructure equals direct legal liability.
The Infrastructure Fix
The 26.1.2 patch automatically hides these unlicenced technicians, but this only works if your base data is accurate. If your admin is still manually typing expiry dates from emails into Simpro, you have a bottleneck. We build industrial web infrastructure that connects your subcontractor onboarding forms directly to Simpro via API. When a worker uploads their renewed ticket to your site portal, the system updates their Simpro profile and expiry date instantly. No manual entry. The system mechanically governs compliance.
The ROI
You eliminate manual data entry errors. Your compliance is mathematically guaranteed, protecting you from massive fines, and your admin team saves upwards of 5 hours a week chasing PDF licence scans.
