Why ARI is the Best Shop Management Software?

Invoices

Create invoices on the go and sent them to your clients in minutes. Customize your invoice templates by adding your shop’s logo, changing color, adjusting the header, and much more. Never miss a payment with online payment options and rest assured that all your due invoices are handled on time.

Estimates

Auto repair estimates are the building block to any repair shop. They are the first thing your clients see before they even get a chance to check your garage. So make sure you create and send proper estimates to your customers.

Vehicle Inspections

Add your first car in ARI

ARI comes with a comprehensive list of 30+ check items. In most cases, that should be more than enough to ensure a thorough inspection. However, for those mechanics who want to go above and beyond, we offer the possibility to create their own custom checklists. In addition to that, you can also mark damage reports straight on your device so that’s clear where the damaged areas are located.

Client Management

Add, edit, delete, and manage your shop’s customers

Client management is at the base of any business, especially auto repair. We want to make sure that you have full control over your customer database, and that is why we have added extended functionality such as sort, filter, search, vehicle ownership, billing statement, and much more!

Vehicle Management

Keep good control over the cars that go in and out of your garage.

From license plate reading to services history, ARI comes with all the necessary tools to manage your vehicle database. What’s even more impressive is that we do not charge you base on how many vehicles you register.

Job Cards & Work Orders

Assign work, track labor times, approve jobs.

As the best auto repair software, ARI comes with one of the best job card templates in the automotive industry. You can assign work to your mechanics, track working times, and even allow your clients to approve or decline recommended repair services for their vehicle. They can do all that online and you can notify them automatically at every step of the process.
