Introducing AutoFluent.Net
As a culmination of several years of intense development, we at Total Auto Business Solutions are proud and excited to announce our new web-based Shop Management System, AutoFluent.NET. Utilizing the very latest technologies in web and database design, and based on decades of experience, AutoFluent.NET is currently in limited release at service shops, with the first 2 months free. Because we have not yet finished the routines to convert the data from desktop AutoFluent®, the release is currently limited to shops that have little or no data to convert.
Here is a list of a few of AutoFluent.NET’s current features:
It can run on Windows PC’s, Macs, iPads, and iPhones, as well Android phones and tablets.
There is no installation required for the basic system. All you need is a browser.
There is true multi-user editing. In fact, multiple people can edit a Work Order at the same time!
A highly enhanced version of AutoInspect is built into AutoFluent.NET. With your phone or tablet, you can walk to the vehicle, scan the license plate, do an inspection, find or create your customer and their vehicle, and even text a copy of the Work Order to the customer.
You can later text the final invoice to your customer, and with the Gravity Payments interface, your customer can even pay the invoice on their phone.
A customizable Interactive Dashboard displays the shop's activities all on one page. See the current Work Orders, Purchases and Sales at a glance.
Track all of your parts orders on our new Dashboard. Set ETA's and view color coded status updates in the WO over time.
You can define unlimited specifications for each inventory type. For example, for your wheels, you could add Bolt Pattern, diameter, rim width, etc.
Store and track images of your paper bills along with your entered bills.
There are 2 subscription options: a single user version for mobile mechanics and very small shops, and a multi-user multi-location version. This version is priced as a flat fee for each location, with unlimited users at each location.
AutoFluent.NET interfaces with the following:
Twilio Texting Service - This gives you 2-way texting to your customers, letting you text Work Orders, Invoices, Authorizations of additional work, and more.
QuickBooks online - Invoices, bills and deposits are posted immediately to QuickBooks throughout the day. If you have sufficient rights, you can click on a transaction in AutoFluent.NET, and see the corresponding transaction in QuickBooks!
Mitchell1 - Links with ProDemand, ShopKeyPro, and ProDemand Heavy/Medium Truck.
Service Data Pro (MOTOR) - Pull labor times and part information into the Work Order, and look up procedures, Technical Service Bulletins, wiring diagrams and more.
Nexpart Multi-Seller - Find your parts by looking at lists representing pricing and availability from multiple suppliers at the same time. Then pull them into your Work Order, and easily finalize the order or orders later.
Although AutoFluent.NET is a complete system for invoicing out your parts, labor and tires, our current project is to finish adding features which exist in the Tire Module of the desktop AutoFluent®. Then we will finish the conversion utilities to enable current AutoFluent users to enjoy all the state-of- the-art features that AutoFluent.NET has to offer. Again, we express our appreciation to our customers who have been patiently waiting for these features. We are confident that you will find that AutoFluent.NET was worth the wait!
