Article summary

If this is your first time connecting simPRO & Groundplan, please refer to the Configuring your simPRO Integration for the first time article.

When you configure your Groundplan to your simPRO Multi-company build, you can set a default company, select a different company at the project level and create take-off templates linked to pre-builds and catalogue items linked to a specific company.

Creating a new project

When you create a project, the default company you selected in the integration setup will be automatically selected.

However, the company can be changed on every project you create under the simPRO integration settings using the company dropdown menu.

⚠️ Pre-builds and Catalogue items linked to the wrong simPRO company pushed through to a simPRO quote could have incorrect materials, incorrect pricing and also effect stock allocation at the job level.

You can only select items from the chosen company in the Project Overview when creating measurements.

If you do not share catalogues in your simPRO Multi-company setup, please check that the Pre-builds & Catalogue items that have been used to count & measure on this project are linked to the right company.

This is also applicable to your take-off templates. Please make sure that the take-off template you choose to use is set to be linked to the same company as the one specified in your project. This is to ensure that the parts you've linked in the take-off template are from the correct multi-company build.
