Process card payments directly from your Square terminal without leaving ARI. Pair your terminal in Settings > Square, then select Square Terminal at checkout. Payments sync automatically with the invoice.
Accept payments through the Square mobile app on your phone or tablet — ideal for shops already using Square who want seamless ARI invoicing integration.
View AI-generated parts and labor cost estimates directly inside appointment details. Transfer them into a new work order with a single tap — reducing write-up time.
Where to find it: Open any appointment created by a client via the Cost Estimator on the client portal → Cost Estimate section → Create Work Order
Choose between wholesale price, list price, or a custom price mapping when importing parts from PartsTech into an invoice or work order. Gives shops more control over markup and pricing strategy.
Where to find it: PartsTech import modal → Price options
Set a global default due date for all new invoices, estimates, and work orders. Options: Due on Receipt, Net 7, Net 10, Net 15, Net 30, Net 45, Net 60, Net 90. Individual clients can still have their own override.
Where to find it: Profile → Payment Terms
When adding tires from inventory to an invoice or work order, ARI now prompts you to add tire-related fees (e.g., Tire Levy Fee, Tire Disposal Fee) automatically. Customize the fee names, amounts, taxability, and quantity. Enable Apply automatically next time to skip the prompt on future tire additions.
Where to find it: Add a tire from Tire Inventory → Tire Fees popup
Grouped items on printed invoices and PDFs now display the actual group name (e.g., “Brake Job”) instead of the generic “group total” label. A Hide Group Names toggle is available if you prefer the generic label.
Where to find it: Invoice Template Settings → Hide Group Names
Zoom in and out on invoice and work order previews using floating controls at the bottom of the screen. Zoom resets automatically before printing or PDF generation to ensure clean output.
Where to find it: Invoice or Work Order preview → Zoom controls (bottom of screen)
Convert a photo of an existing paper invoice into a fully editable ARI template. Upload an image of your current invoice and AI will recreate the layout — including placeholders for company info, customer details, parts, labor, and totals. Review and fine-tune in the editor before saving.
Where to find it: Invoice Template Settings → Edit Template → Import
Describe changes to your invoice template in plain English and AI applies them. For example: “make the header background dark blue” or “increase the company name font size.” Supports multi-level undo to revert any AI-applied change.
Where to find it: Invoice Template Settings → Edit Template → Edit with AI
Customize the appearance of inspection reports: header colors, section colors, checklist table colors, text font, text size, text color, logo visibility and size, company name size, and disclaimer. Changes apply to all inspection previews, PDFs, and printouts.
Where to find it: Open any inspection → Settings button (header)
Build a custom waiver or authorization form with checkboxes and text fields that appears on invoices, estimates, and work orders. Customers can authorize repairs, acknowledge terms, or fill in notes — with optional signature collection. Signed forms lock all fields to protect the integrity of the agreement. Deleting the signature unlocks the form for updates before re-signing.
Where to find it: Profile → Payment & Other → Custom Disclosure Form
Quickly populate state-required legal disclaimers and disclosure form fields with one click. Supported states: Florida, California, Illinois, New York, Michigan, Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina, and Massachusetts. Also includes general-purpose presets for Repair Authorization and Non-OEM Parts Disclosure. Presets are additive — apply multiple to cover all applicable requirements.
Where to find it: Profile → Payment & Other → State Compliance Presets
ARI now includes a formal Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT) documenting compliance with WCAG 2.1 and Section 508 standards. Useful for shops with government contracts or fleet customers that require accessibility documentation.
Filter time logs by date range — Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, This Month, or a custom range. Filter selections are remembered between visits.
Where to find it: Time Tracking → Time Logs tab
AWD (all-wheel drive) and 4WD (four-wheel drive) are now available in the vehicle drivetrain dropdown.
Where to find it: Vehicle details → Drivetrain
Rapidly tapping Save on a payment could create duplicate payment records. The button now disables after the first tap and re-enables only if an error occurs.
Discounts were not correctly subtracted in tax reports. Discounts are now properly reflected in all tax report calculations.
The profit section on the dashboard was not displaying values. Profit now calculates and renders correctly.
Inspections were not attaching to invoices that used custom templates. They are now properly linked regardless of template type.
The reports grid failed to initialize correctly when reopened, and exports could fail in certain scenarios. Both issues have been resolved.
Appointments were displaying as 30-minute slots on small screens instead of their actual duration. The scheduler now renders the correct duration on all screen sizes.
Downloading reports was failing in certain scenarios. Downloads now work reliably across all platforms.
Typing a search term and then changing the date range silently cleared the search — showing all records even though text remained in the search box. Search is now preserved when adjusting dates on all pages: Invoices, Estimates, Work Orders, Payments, Inspections, Accounting, and Time Logs.
Opening a work order with no groups could display group names left over from a previously viewed work order. Group names are now properly cleared when switching between documents.
The grouping array was not fully resetting in certain scenarios, causing leftover group data to appear on new work orders. It now clears correctly every time.
Hyperlinks in disclaimer text were not rendering on invoices. HTML anchor tags (e.g., <a href="yoursite.com">click here</a>) now render correctly in both disclaimer fields.
Pressing Enter after typing in a checklist item’s details field on iOS caused the page to jump to the top. The page now stays in position so you can continue editing nearby items without losing your place.
Grouping can be done in the Grouped tab.
Added an improved drag-and-drop functionality.
Option to move items within groups using a dropdown (ideal for small devices).
List view / Grid view inside Grouped tab:
-Grid view → best for drag-and-drop.
-List view → best for sorting items inside groups.
-Groups and item order are persistent (remain after refresh).
Note: Sorting may not work well on older JobCards (new logic applies only to new JobCards).
Adding Canned Jobs to a JobCard automatically creates a new group for that package.
-Reminder to update vehicle mileage when:
-The vehicle is selected but has no mileage, or the last mileage update was more than 30 days ago.
-Expandable labor description field in the Detailed table.
-Total hours added to the footer of the Detailed table.
JobCard is automatically marked as Completed when the invoice is marked as Paid.
-Option to add free text when sending invoices via email.
-Moved VIN and license fields to the top.
-Added VIN detection from images (e.g., door jamb sticker).
-Quick filters: Selection persists locally (e.g., change filter on JobCards, restart ARI, filter is saved).
-Home tab selection: Chosen tab (e.g., Custom) persists after restart.
-Language selection (BETA): Select a language in ARI Settings → Language (Google Translate dropdown).
-Restarts in the chosen language (still in progress).
-Uses the latest state-of-the-art AI models (slower, but more accurate).
-Warning shown if vehicle details are incomplete.
-When transferring labor items to a JobCard, users can choose between:
-Generated AI rates, or User default rates (defined in Profile).
Invoice Enhancements
-Added engine details to the default invoice template (can be hidden in settings).
-Added option to import vendors (ARI Settings → Import Data → Vendors).
QuickBooks Integration
-Send ODO, VIN, and unit with invoices.
-New option for QuickBooks tax mapping (Settings → QuickBooks, requires connection).
-New option to support non-SSH connections (for providers like GoDaddy, ProtonMail, Outlook, etc.).
-Option to save client and vehicle directly from online appointments (More → Save client).
-Client name is now exposed in Reports → Parts & Services.
-“View All” from Home now shows archived JobCards as well.
-Fixed Parts category filter.
-Order button added to all tabs (Detailed, Compact, Grouped).
-Visible only when connected to PartsTech.
-Fixed issue where notifications didn’t show on accounts with lots of data.
