Feature Ideas

A busy shop may have many vehicles on lot and color would help identify much quicker

This will allow easy access to the remote support portal.

Need the ability to add more than 1 tech per line in the work order.

We need to be able to add a PO number on a finalized invoice. We get the PO number after we send an invoice. Since they do require an Invoice we would need to be able to edit an existing invoice, or have an option to finalize workorder to a pre-invoice that it can be edited (similar to how workorders can be edited). Currently, we close out an invoice and write in a PO number manually on a printed copy (unprofessional). Or we've been sending the invoice without a PO number, then we must negate that invoice to create a new workorder so we can add the PO. Doubling the work required to simply add a PO number to an invoice.

Features Authorization Workflow: Hold a specified amount on the customer's card before the transaction is completed.Automatic expiration of the hold if not captured within a set timeframe as per card issuer policies. Flexible Integration: API endpoints for initiating, updating, and reversing pre-authorizations.Compatibility with existing cloud and encrypted terminal solutions for seamless implementation. Dynamic Capture Options: Ability to capture amounts less than or greater than the pre-authorization.Full or partial reversals to reduce holds on customer accounts when necessary. Use Case-Specific Configurations: Support for service-specific needs like roadside assistance requiring upfront holds for dispatch. Enhanced Fraud Prevention: Leveraging AVS (Address Verification System) and CVV checks during pre-authorization.Real-time response codes for issuer approvals, declines, or additional actions. Merchant Portal Integration: Visibility into all pre-authorization transactions via a centralized dashboard for tracking and reconciliation. Level 3 Data Support: Detailed line-item and reconciliation data integration to optimize interchange fees for corporate and commercial cards. Clear Communication of Hold Status: Automated notifications for successful, partial, or unsuccessful authorizations.

This would allow technicians to inspect vehicles and clock in on assigned jobs without the need to access AutoFluent on a desktop computer.

Service Managers, part-time techs, and Owners could be added to labor lines without adding multiple columns to the schedule. The current method clutters the schedule and makes the information you can view much smaller.

Scheduled emails / texts Notification of upcoming services Specific feature detail to follow

Many people want an SMS solution that can be used from a phone; eliminating the need for a hotspot enabled tablet or laptop. Currently, AF.NET does not scale properly on smaller screens.

If we can create a line item "comment" that is labeled "Review", so that the advisors could add this line or have it pre-populated on workorder/invoices to help collect customer reviews. The "description" box only allows plain text. I tried adding the qr code as an object, file, copy and paste and icon - all with no luck. If the "description" box would allow rich text or images would be ideal. Also, I feel that the advantage to adding this as an item would further enhance it's use with the postcard option and the e-mail option. Could be set-up to send a post card after X days and/or send an email to the customer a day or so after the transaction.

We ran into a problem with not able to print out a copy of quote. We are able to create a pricing quote in autofluent. However, whenever we try to print it and send it to customer, in the right up coner, it will ways show workorder # not quote #. This caused a lot of confusion between us and the customers in terms of which one of the print out is a prcing quote and which is the acutal job they have authorized and we have done. It will be really helpful if we can have a quote temply added into the print template setting. This feature was always there when we were using the desktop version not the netweb version. Therefore, we were always able to print out quote version and acutal workorder separately.

Just like the wholesale website that is available, allow customers to purchase tires at their convenience and giving AutoFluent customers a leg up over shops using other software solutions.
