Simpro Group, the global leader in AI-first operating software for the trades, has acquired Delight, an AI-driven customer engagement solution designed specifically for field service businesses. The acquisition accelerates Simpro Group’s strategy to build a comprehensive AI-first operating platform that manages trade businesses end-to-end, extending beyond traditional field service management to drive repeat revenue, service expansion, and long-term customer value.
“We’ve been very clear about where we’re taking Simpro,” said Fred Voccola, Chairman and CEO of Simpro Group. “We’re building the world’s first and only AI-first operating platform for the trades. This acquisition is strategy in action, extending the platform in a way that helps our customers communicate with their customers, grow revenue, and improve profitability. This is not about small gains for our customers—think 200 percent, not 10 percent profit.”
Delight leverages AI to activate customer data from completed jobs, enabling timely and relevant follow-ups, service recommendations, and automated communications with minimal manual effort. By focusing on existing customers—who already trust the business—trade companies can convert one-time jobs into ongoing relationships, significantly increasing lifetime customer value.
“The biggest growth lever for trade businesses isn’t always new leads—it’s expanding the revenue they receive from their existing customers,” Voccola said. “These customers already know you, trust you, and understand the value you bring. That’s a monster advantage. When you show up with the right follow-on services—whether that’s maintenance, expansions, or something new—you’re not pushing more, you’re delivering more value and converting them into repeat customers. AI makes it possible to do that consistently at scale, while strengthening customer relationships and increasing the lifetime value of a customer.”
The integration of Delight enhances Simpro’s platform by turning job completion data into actionable growth opportunities, helping contractors, technicians, and field crews achieve higher profitability through intelligent, automated engagement.
The Delight team will merge with Simpro Group’s product and engineering groups to further develop AI-powered capabilities tailored for the trades. This move reinforces Simpro’s commitment to delivering practical, industry-specific solutions that directly impact growth and financial outcomes.
“Delight was created to help trade businesses grow,” said Will Dinkel, Co-Founder of Delight. “Joining Simpro Group allows us to scale that mission dramatically. Together, we’re delivering intelligent, practical solutions that directly drive growth and profitability.”
“The strong foundation and dedication to innovation established by Simpro and Delight have positioned us for significant growth,” said Frank Bauer, CEO of Proguard Protection Services. “The Delight acquisition confirms Simpro Group’s commitment to building the AI-first platform for the trades. This unified vision ensures we can compete and lead in a rapidly evolving market, delivering compounding value to our business.”
This acquisition solidifies Simpro Group’s vision for a unified AI-first platform covering workforce management, job execution, customer engagement, and sustained profitability. The company aims to transform the financial economics of trade businesses to match the essential value they provide to society.
“Modern society wouldn’t function without the trades,” Voccola said. “They deserve financial outcomes that match the value they deliver. We’re changing the unit of economics of the trades to ensure they receive the financial rewards that they deserve.”
