What tradies say

AroFloClunky / outdated UI and unfixed legacy issues
“I currently use Aroflo, whilst it’s excellent, sometimes it has stupid and old functions which drive me crazy. I feel they are too busy making new features as opposed to fixing old issues”

AroFloMobile / field usability historically weak
“Used AroFlo about 5+years ago as an employee and it was pointless to use it on a phone, always just used it on the computer at the end of the day”

AroFloAccounting sync / integration limitations
“Yeah we use aroflo and the app is pretty good now. Still could be laid out a little better. They are doing heaps new things but not having direct api calls with xero having the integration page is ridiculous these days”

AroFloClunky quoting workflow / double handling
“If you could combine the best features from both, it would be great. I think after using sinpro for 6+ years, I prefer Aroflo, but Jesus, let me add more than one client to a quote without needing to duplicate it and name it uniquely, probably my biggest gripe”

AroFloClunky UI / navigation
“I always get the feeling that it still feels and acts like it was written 20 years ago. The navigation flow is bananas. So you’ll be in a task, goto po, then next thing you’re in the main po menu. Why would I want to be there?”

simPROAroFloData lock-in / export difficulty
“Same issue as Aroflo (same parent as Simpro) there's no way to get your data out. When I left tradify it was easy to extract all data”

AroFloMissing running job-total on home view
“ArofloGo - this is what I'm currently using... It would be good to be able to see a running total on jobs in a quick view on the home page”

AroFloCan't export quotes to Word; file-size limits for tenders
“Unable to export quotes as a word document. (this is a huge factor for our business) RTF Files sizes are to small for our tender submissions (10MB). Custom Templates are complicated/ un-useful”

AroFloPer-user cost with no volume breaks
“The cost is way too expensive, and as the number of users increases, there are no cost breaks. I run a small business, and I have to limit how many people use the software to keep costs down”
