ARI v.10.4 Update - Service Reminders Additions

QR Code functionality

QR Codes make it easy for your clients to book an appointment for their next service and for your mechanics to view the details associated with that service reminder.

Start by creating a new Service Reminder for a client. Then add a QR code from the menu and send it/ print it so your client can see it. Your client can scan the QR code and book his next appointment at your shop. When a vehicle is in your shop – the mechanic can scan the QR code and open the Service Reminder. From there, he creates a new Invoice using the current reminder data!

You can toggle back and forth between displaying the QR code on your Service Reminder stickers with the QR button on the top right side of the page.

Creating a new Invoice from Service Reminders

You can do that by an existing Service Reminder. Then click the “More” button and select “Create Invoice.” This way, you grab the data from the reminder and transfer it over to the Invoice.

We hope this updated tutorial was helpful. Leave a comment or share on social media if you think that way!
