This feature is not available to AroFloGo users.

 
 

Billing

How does your active user pricing work?

AroFlo subscription - An AroFlo subscription with document storage and an active integration link starts off with a minimum of 3 active users. For each new active user after this, we automatically add a charge per month. See the AroFlo pricing schedule for more information.

 

AroFloGo subscription - You simply pay per month for each active user (minimum 1 user). See the AroFloGo pricing schedule.

*All pricing is AUD excluding GST.

 
 

What is a passive user and how much do they cost?

A passive user is someone who does not need to access AroFlo but needs to be in the system for scheduling and timesheet purposes. Please contact AroFlo Customer Service for more information on what a passive user is and how it affects your billing.

 
 

When will I receive my first monthly bill?

At the end of your free subscription period, monthly billing for your subscription will commence. We'll send you an invoice at the end of each month and payment will be processed in accordance with your direct debit request. 

 
 

How can I update my direct debit details?

Consulting and training

AroFloGo subscription - Your AroFloGo subscription gives you:

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 organize it for you.

 
 

Will you train all of my staff, including new staff in the future?

AroFlo subscription - Our initial set-up and training package is designed to train an 'AroFlo Champion' - one person in your business who will learn the system and train your other users. We can accommodate up to three people on your Zoom sessions - just make sure they can all hear and see what is going on during the session.

You can purchase additional training hours if you need us to train other users by contacting AroFlo Customer Service.

AroFloGo subscription - AroFloGo users do a lot of their initial training via the AroFlo Academy, with 30 minutes per month of phone support from our Customer Service staff. If you'd like additional support, or if you'd like additional users trained, you can purchase one of our pre-paid hourly support packages, or our premium support package. Please contact AroFlo Customer Service for more information.

 
 

Accounting Integration

Does the training and set-up fee include accounting integration?

Outside of the Premium Getting Started Package there is an additional one-off fee (per company file) to set up an accounting integration link, plus an ongoing annual maintenance fee. Please see our AroFlo pricing schedule for set-up costs. 

If you would like a quote to set up an integration link for your accounting package, please contact our Customer Service team.

 
 

Do I need an accounting integration to use AroFlo?

No, you don't have to integrate your AroFlo site with your accounting package to enjoy the benefits of AroFlo. Even without integrating, you can still send invoices directly from AroFlo. You'll just need to manually enter these into your accounting package, and then mark them as processed in AroFlo. However, we do highly recommend using an accounting integration if you can.

 
 

What do I need to do before I integrate my accounting system with AroFlo?

To ensure that we can successfully set up your accounting integration with AroFlo or AroFloGo, you will need to:

  • Check that all of your clients and suppliers exist in AroFlo prior to the integration session.
  • Know the Tax Codes and Account Codes that relate to your AroFlo Task Types, Invoices, Payments and Purchase Orders.
  • Have the relevant Admin login details/privileges to access your accounting system.
  • Back up your accounting file prior to the integration session (if your accounting system provides a back-up option).
 
 

Additional requirements for desktop accounting packages

  • Desktop packages are longer and more involved to integrate with AroFlo and as such attract a higher price. Please contact customer service to request a quote for integrating them.
  • This software is for PC / Windows only. Please call our Customer Service team to discuss possible Apple MacOS solutions.
  • Install the desktop software on a computer that has access to your accounting system files.
