I love how fast ARI allows me to create invoices and streamline my workday. This efficiency is a significant advantage as it eliminates the need to manually input every single digit or detail, allowing me to rely on ARI to handle most of this work. As a result, I remove anywhere between four to six hours of work each day, just for one employee. When this efficiency is spread across five employees, it immensely reduces overhead and labor costs. This not only cuts down my time at work but also increases my time at home with family, which I greatly appreciate. Furthermore, the initial setup process of ARI was more manageable compared to the effort required when we used to create all new invoices for each customer manually. Now, we only have to input the information once, making the overall process much more efficient.
Extremely easy to set up and use. We are in the system throughout the day, every day. First class support. I like that they offered a hands-on demo of the administrative side for prospective customers to explore. Additionally they have a trial that gives customers an opportunity to get comfortable with the solution before paying money. This solution is an incredible tool at an extremely affordable price point. ARI will revolutionize the shop management software industry.
I really appreciate how ARI automotive software significantly enhances the efficiency and professionalism of my mechanic shop operations. It replaces a full-time job by simplifying the process of creating quotes and estimates, offering invoicing solutions that make customer processing faster while maintaining a professional standard. One notable feature I love is the customer information tracking system, which allows independent tracking of customer data and automobile history. This is complemented by ARI's integration with Carfax, providing customers with proof of work completion—an incredible value addition. The affordability of ARI is another major plus, offering the same features as more expensive industry software at just over $60 a month, making it an incredible package. I value how ARI solves several problems, like accurately quoting labor times, which enhances both financial and customer protection. The integrated payment system, especially Payment 360, allows for credit card payments and financing options, which is beneficial for customers lacking immediate funds. I use the software's feature to order parts directly from local suppliers, boosting the shop's efficiency and productivity. Additionally, the initial setup was seamless, thanks to Jason, who provided excellent support with navigation tips, tricks, and frequent updates. Overall, I find ARI to be a phenomenal software, worthy of a 10 out of 10, with the potential for further enhancements by Jason.
