Although we try to keep you informed of all the changes we make, some things can go unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 5 things we believe are the most underrated features of ARI. Using them can help your business grow and save you time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>1. Automatic Service Reminders<\/h3>\n<p>You may know that you can create service reminders for your clients, but many of our users don\u2019t realize that ARI also sends automatic service reminders to clients when their service is due. Just make sure your client has a valid email address and Send Automatic Reminders checkbox is marked.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1282 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ari.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot_1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ari.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot_1.png 600w, https:\/\/ari.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screenshot_1-300x87.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>2. Message Functionality<\/h3>\n<p>Whether you need to leave some internal notes on a JobCard or want to communicate something to an employee, you can use the built-in message functionality. Just click the Activity Logs button on the home and write your message!<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1279 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ari.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/activity-log.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"583\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ari.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/activity-log.png 583w, https:\/\/ari.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/activity-log-300x197.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 583px) 100vw, 583px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>3.

Recommended Services<\/h3>\n<p>Open any existing JobCard and click on a labor item. You will see that you have an option to mark it as Recommended. What that does is allowing your client to choose whether they want that service performed or not. They can do that directly from the digital estimate.<\/p>\n<p>This is a great way to upsell your services and show your clients that you really care about their vehicles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1280 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ari.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/recommended.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ari.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/recommended.png 820w, https:\/\/ari.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/recommended-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/ari.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/recommended-768x425.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>5.
