AIMsi is a robust point of sale and retail management solution that offers inventory control, automated purchasing, customer management and loyalty programs, sales reporting, employee security and more.
The AIMsi integration allows you to retrieve signed smart waivers and associate those waivers with the customer record in your POS.
Below are instructions on how to set up the integration:
***NOTE: YOU MUST BE SUBSCRIBED TO AN ACTIVE-E B2B PLAN (within AIMSI) TO USE SMARTWAIVER WITH AIMSI.
****NOTE: Please contact Tri-Tech for a program code to use Smartwaiver.
1) Sign up with Smartwaiver.
To use the Smartwaiver feature in AIMsi you must first set up an account with Smartwaiver. When you sign up for the 15-day free trial, you can use your account with AIMsi.
2) Send your waiver
Have your attorney or insurance company draft a liability waiver for your business. Once you have a Smartwaiver account, simply send the waiver as a PDF or Word doc to support@smartwaiver.com and we'll convert it into a digital smart waiver you can use online.
3) Create an API Key.
An API key is a reference to your signed waivers stored on the Smartwaiver website. You can obtain the API key here: https://www.smartwaiver.com/m/rest/
4) Set up Smartwaiver in AIMsi
After obtaining an API key, go to Maintenance | XML EDI Services Maintenance | Vendor EDI Info | Active-e Smartwaver. Add the API key to the API Key field.
You may also set up custom fields on this form. The following fields may be set up as custom fields: Cell phone, home phone, employer, and Notes.
To add a custom field, click on Add and select the AIMsi field from the dropdown list on the grid and enter the custom field name under the Smartwaiver Custom Field column. Note that the colon must be appended to the Smartwaiver Custom Field name. This colon should not be on the Smartwaiver waiver.
You may also select a default Customer Type and an Email Method that will be used when creating a new customer from the Smartwaiver form.
