  • online help (interactive tutorials, videos, and help pages)

You can purchase hourly support packages or upgrade to our Premium Support Package at any time. Simply contact our Customer Service team and they'll organise it for you.

 

What do I need for my phone support sessions?

If you book a phone support session with an AroFlo consultant, please ensure you have your computer (PC/Mac/laptop) connected to the internet and ready for use. If more than one person will be attending the session, please ensure all participants:

  • are present at the pre-booked date and time
  • can hear the telephone conversation clearly
  • are able to see the computer screen.

We will call you at the scheduled time and ask you to start a remote help session so they can see your screen and show you what to do using your own data.

 

When can I start using AroFloGo?

You can start using AroFloGo as soon as you have your username and password. Depending on the complexity of your business, it will take a period of time to configure the system, apply practical workflows and make the most efficient use of AroFloGo.

 

Most of our customers have the system configured and are confidently using AroFloGo within 4 weeks. This may be shorter or longer depending on your business model, individual requirements and the amount of time you dedicate to training.

 

If at any time the transition to AroFloGo becomes difficult, please let us know and we will do our best to assist with the process. We have set up thousands of users, so we can provide plenty of tips and tricks and practical guidance to help you successfully implement AroFloGo into your business.

 

 

Bring Your Data Over

Import your client list and more

Load up your new AroFloGo site with your existing clients, suppliers, assets and inventory.

 

You can do this yourself by using AroFlo's Bulk Data Import feature, or contact our Customer Service team for assistance.

Set up work order email imports

If your clients email their job requests in a consistent format, or you have a web enquiry form that generates an email, we can configure AroFlo to read these emails and automatically create jobs using the key details.

How many work order imports can I set up?

Work order email imports can be set up for any number of clients.

If your client changes the format of their work order, please notify our Customer Service team. The import settings are unique to the original work order format and any changes will result in a new work order set-up.

 

What information do I need to provide?

1. Send us a support request and include the following details:

  • The name of the client sending the work orders exactly as it appears in AroFlo.
  • The domain where work orders come from (e.g. "@aroflo.com.au", "@hotmail.com")
  • The user in AroFlo (user's name) that should be notified on import of success or failure.
  • The default Task Type the automated task should be assigned to.
  • If you have multiple business units, please nominate the Business Unit the automated task should be assigned to.

2. Attach a minimum of 4 samples of the work order email and attachments. These should include:

  • Samples with different location details (if applicable).
  • Samples with multiple pages.
  • Any other attachments that are included in the emails.
  • The body of the email that has the attachments.
If the work order details are in the body of an email, please contact our Customer Service team for assistance.
 
 

What types of files are supported?

Work orders must be in one of the following file types: PDF, CSV, TXT, RTF, DOC, DOCX or part of the email body.

Please note AroFlo is unable to read PDF files generated from a scanned document.
