You will need take steps in both AroFlo and Groundplan to set up this up this integration to bring your Inventory items and Assemblies (Inventory lists) into Groundplan.

This Integration requires API Access enabled in AroFlo

If you do not already have this enabled, you must contact AroFlo Support to enable API access on your account.
You can do this by using one of the support channels in your AroFlo help menu and asking to enable API access for the purpose of connecting to Groundplan.
