This release adds several new tools and improvements designed to help subcontractors stay organized, document work more clearly, and find important information faster. Highlights include the new Task Manager, expanded GPS tracking options, photo and file mapping, customer job visibility, estimate approval improvements, and easier access to help and training resources.
We also made practical workflow improvements across estimates, purchase orders, time tracking, customer records, job punch lists, vehicle tracking, and field documentation. These updates are focused on making SimplySub easier to use day to day, especially for teams that need one simple place to track work, follow-ups, job details, and field activity.
New
-
🔥 Task Manager is now available, giving you a new way to create and track tasks for yourself, individual team members, or entire teams. Tasks can include due dates, notes, files, and photos, and they can be connected to important records such as jobs, customers, invoices, estimates, purchase orders, and more. You can view tasks in a list view or calendar view, making it easier to keep up with follow-ups, internal reminders, customer requests, jobsite issues, and work that still needs to be completed.

-
🔥 GPS route history can now be viewed by date range, making it easier to look back and review where a vehicle or asset traveled during a specific period of time. This is especially helpful when you need to confirm travel routes, review jobsite activity, check how long a vehicle was in a certain area, or better understand field movement throughout the day.

-
The GPS tracking map now includes satellite view, giving you a more detailed look at where vehicles and assets are located. Satellite view can be especially useful when reviewing jobsite locations, equipment yards, parking areas, access roads, and rural or undeveloped areas where a standard map may not show enough detail.
-
Customer records now include a Jobs tab, making it easier to find all jobs connected to a specific customer in one place. Instead of jumping between different areas of SimplySub, you can open a customer record and quickly review current, upcoming, or completed jobs tied to that customer.
-
Printed estimates now include a customer signature line, helping customers review, approve, and sign estimates more clearly. This provides a cleaner printed estimate format and gives both your team and your customer a simple place to document approval when needed.
-
🔥 Photos and files can now capture location details when uploaded, using embedded GPS information when available and falling back to the upload location when needed. This helps create a clearer record of where photos and files were taken or added, which can be useful for job documentation, field verification, progress tracking, and resolving questions later.
-
🔥 Photos and files now include a map view, making it easier to see where job-related photos and files were taken or uploaded. This gives your team another way to review field documentation visually, especially when photos are connected to jobs, equipment, daily activity, or specific work areas.
-
The Safety Talks library has expanded, with more than 500 new toolbox talks added to help teams keep safety conversations fresh, relevant, and easy to access. This expansion includes new topics for towing and hauling, which are especially useful for clearing, grading, excavating, concrete, hauling, and other subcontractors that regularly move equipment, trailers, materials, or heavy loads.

Improved
-
The time clock has a refreshed clock in and clock out experience, making the buttons clearer, easier to read, and easier to use. The updated layout helps employees quickly understand their current status and take the right action when starting or ending work.
-
Vehicle mileage now appears in GPS tracking, helping you quickly identify vehicles that may be due for service, such as oil changes or scheduled maintenance. This gives teams another helpful piece of information when reviewing vehicles and assets inside SimplySub.
-
Job punch list items now support photos and files, so you can add, update, and remove attachments that show work to be done or work that has already been completed. This makes punch list tracking more useful by keeping supporting documentation directly connected to the item it belongs to.
-
Help and support are easier to access from the top right corner, giving you one convenient place to submit a ticket, find support contact information, share an idea, book a free one-on-one training session, watch product videos, and read product updates. This makes it easier to get help, learn SimplySub, and stay up to date without having to search around the system.
-
Purchase orders can now auto-fill the ship-to address from the selected job, saving time and helping ensure materials are sent to the correct job location. This reduces manual entry and helps make purchase order creation faster and more accurate.
Heads Up
-
Some fields can now automatically reload the page after an update, helping SimplySub show the most current information after a value changes. This can be helpful when a field update affects other information on the page. If you do not want this behavior for a specific field, go to Administration, open Fields and Forms, choose the area you want to update, open the field settings, select View Advanced, and set “Reload Page on Update” to No.
