Aroflo Evaluation
Having worked with systems implementation and design for over 20 years, I found Aroflo brings together all the current benefits with online technology, while supporting the workflow requirements of our business.
PROSOnline training is extremely advanced, supported by live online support . The workflow capabilites of aroflo are endless. An integrated solution that brings together purchase orders, and timesheet hours with jobs.
CONSTimesheet functionality is an area for increase opportunity to develop.
Reason for choosing AroFlo
Field application, and also more simplified screen view
Reasons for switching to AroFlo
More integrated system, with superior reporting and workflow capabilities

A great product which is improving all the time
AroFlo is helping us to get real time control of our stock. It gives up to date information to our techs when they are on site. It has great tools for tracking our current quotes and jobs and for seeing what we need to attend to. The fact it is continuing to be developed and our ability to request specific changes give us confidence that it will grow with our business. We are still finding more untapped potential we can leverage all the time.
PROSMoving to AroFlo has transformed our business and positioned us for growth. The ability to create quotes drawing real time cost information from the inventory and then using that information through the ordering process and on into recording materials used is brilliant. Being able to record all communication with our client about particular jobs against those jobs is also great. Nearly three years in, we are still finding new ways to leverage AroFlo's features to propel our business forward/
CONSLike any platform, there is still lots of room for growth. Configuring reports to get all the information needed can be challenging but it is always easy to get assistance from the AroFlo team. Having said that, there is still significant investment going into AroFlo and constant improvement being made to the platform.
Reason for choosing AroFlo
We know other businesses using this software and some warned us not to go with them because the platform was very complex and cumbersome. AroFlo ticked all the boxes and was priced competitively.
Reasons for switching to AroFlo
This was a very limited product and we had to have many systems outside of Workflowmax itself (spreadsheets, word documents, email, google calendar) to manage our work. Now we can do almost all of that in AroFlo itself.
Vendor Response
Hi Michael, Many thanks for your honest and thorough review of AroFlo. We're thrilled to hear the benefits our software offers your business and we wish you all the success, as you continue to grow. Kind regards, Team AroFlo

Aroflo - less than average
The concept is good, it would be great if Aroflo could smoothly achieve all the functions offered and the software wasn't so problematic and onerous to use.
CONSEverything about the delivery Sales and support teams claims about Aroflos capabilities are questionable and less than forthright High implementation costs and resource requirements for set up Doesn't fully integrate with Xero, Aroflo are aware of this however still haven't highlighted this on their website No refunds if Aroflo doesn't meet your requirements, Aroflo will say this is due to high training costs No option to trial Aroflo, in hindsight this should ring alarm bells
Vendor Response
Thank you for your anonymous review. If we could identify your AroFlo account I’m sure we could have addressed some of the issues you have raised. AroFlo has a huge range of capabilities so we can’t cover every aspect of the system in our sales demos. We can only focus on things that are brought to our attention by the client during the demonstration. If a specific business requirement is raised that our system can’t address, we’re always 100% honest about it and don’t make any false promises. It’s counterproductive to sell our system to unsuitable clients as we have no lock-in contracts so clients can cancel at any time. We do actually offer a trial of our software but our preference is to always take prospective clients through the software first as it is incredibly feature rich. AroFlo does fully integrate with Xero but I believe you referring to our system’s previous inability to handle supplier credits. This enhancement has now been released and more information can be viewed here https://tinyurl.com/y88bv99j. Further clarification on our Xero integration and a table outlining the data we push and pull between the two systems can be viewed at http://aroflo.com/features/xero-integration/

Aroflo keeps your business flowing
Excellent, I would not do without it
PROSImporting invoices, email and work order are such a time saver, its so easy to have all the information in one place.
CONSThere have been a lot of changes implemented over the years and I don't feel that I have been able to implement all of them, advanced training would be great.
Reason for choosing AroFlo
I liked that Aroflo was locally based and designed for electricians and not trade generalised.

Using Aroflo has streamlined our workflow, making our processes much simpler and more efficient.
Before using AROFLO, we had an inventory and accounting management system that caused communication issues across departments. There were different applications and programs used by each department, which led to confusion. However, our discovery of Aroflo and subsequent transition to the new system have been transformative. We found that Aroflo was the perfect solution for our needs after researching and testing various job management systems. Although transitioning to a new system was initially daunting, the Aroflo team provided exceptional support throughout the process. Jen, our trainer and support contact, was an invaluable resource who ensured that the transition was seamless and successful. We received support from the entire Aroflo team, who were always willing to answer our questions, even if it meant repeating themselves. We adapted Aroflo to every department's workflow and processes, and the results have been outstanding. We are now experiencing greater efficiency and connectedness across the entire company. The benefits of the transition are now evident, and we are delighted with the results.
CONSOur experience with Aroflo has been mostly positive. It was straightforward to integrate with Xero, and any minor issues we encountered were quickly resolved by their team, who were always willing to accommodate our needs. Overall, we have found Aroflo to be a reliable and user-friendly solution for our business needs.

Not adjustable
We rate Aroflo around 70/100. Good but overcomplicated. We wish there was a way that the dashboard could be personalised to show the information we want to see.
PROSGood for following through from quotes to tasks to invoices.
CONSDifficult to learn and overcomplicated. There are too many fields we dont use and you cannot hide or turn them off. Each update increases how many actions are required to finish a task or invoice. Aroflo is becoming over engineered and we find it now takes longer to complete tasks than before.
Reasons for switching to AroFlo
The old system was limited. Your system was too large but enabled us to have multiple clients with multiple locations.

Great Product
This product is evolving constantly, with excellent upgrades which does not cost the consumer. Overall very happy with the product and what information can be collated.
PROSI have been using Aroflo for over 4 years, with a great deal of success. Scheduling using periodic tasks has been a life saver. With the easy to use calendar set up - makes life easy for adding adhoc jobs. Easy to use overall, with loads of flexible for customization. Experience with all help centre staff has been very positive with there knowledge of the system easily providing the solution that you required.
CONSAlerts - could like them to be more customizable so that this can be sent directly to the employee or to client. CRM management needs greater ability. Purchase Orders approval levels would be nice, along with bringing back the GL code under purchase orders - this would be used for accrual purposes.
Reason for choosing AroFlo
Integration to accounting packing, flexibility of the product along with pricing. (Field access is very mininal)
Reasons for switching to AroFlo
Service Mate did not have any ability to raise purchase orders, record labour or schedule periodic tasks. Was only good for a small business.

Tates review
Overall I am very happy with AroFlo, I am very picky about how everything is going to work which is this far working out well. However I do very much get the feeling that you only get out of AroFlo what you put in and in speaking to several people (non referral from you guys) I now know they are not seem aware they are not using the system optimally. Austlift for example we work with and spoke to, they have setup the system with only one business unit despite having outlets in most major Australian cities. The reason I know this is when we spoke to them, they complained that they couldn't tell which state the stock was in when looking in the system. Maybe calling clients once they are setup to ask them about issues would be advantageous to you guys so you can make sure there people are getting the most out of the system and therefore be happier with it.
PROSThe ability to customise the way most things operate, to adjust what AroFlo does around the business rather than the other way around. The layout is easy to understand and use. Customer support is great, being able to call and get an answer is the best feature, just getting an answer quick makes life so much easier. I also use the live chat quiet a bit for less complicated questions.
CONSThere is some areas of AroFlo that could be more automated or have the options to be. For example you already have an arrived on site checklist item most the time there should be an option for this to automatically change job status to 'in progress' as techs often seem to forget. Also the custom form being a bit smarter would be great, the ability to have the answer to questions alter the other questions asked later on or even change the default print layout. Doing something about jobs with multiple order numbers would be great, we can be doing 7 services at the moment and each have a different order number, so we have to create 7 jobs. If there was a way AroFlo could manage this situation better it would save us a lot of time. Wether there was a easy way to clone task info or have multiple orders and invoices from one task.

AroFlo Performance Review
Has been positive for our Business by providing an all encompassing project management system covering quoting, scheduling, delivery and cost management of our projects.
PROSOne stop shop to manage the whole of a project including quoting, scheduling, job costing, asset management and scope change.
CONSNot easy to use the first time. Not intuitive especially with the forms/risk assessment section. The RTL upload of forms only allows 5 MB which is not enough. Document management could be improved if it worked like a cloud based system where multiple users could edit/update documents automatically like Microsoft OneDrive. Xero integration not always 100% reliable.

Pride Plumbing Melbourne
AroFlo has helped me to keep track of my jobs, the time I have spent on them and the materials I have used. This makes invoicing in the evening much quicker and easier than my old manual method. I am much better organised now that my emails, notes and photos are saved against my jobs - where I can easily find them. Keeping track of larger projects that can span over months has become less stressful. I can quickly see what stage has already been invoiced, what is left to be invoiced and I don't forget to add any variation invoices to the project. It is handy that I can easily access my quotes and other information, while out in the field. On holidays last month I went swimming with my mobile in my pocket. It was a relief to know that I hadn't lost all of my client contact details as everything is safely stored in AroFlo. There is much less paper floating around my office since using AroFlo. I would say AroFlo is a real time saver.
