"It is important that we see justice served by a correct interpretation of evidence at collision scenes and ARAS is a tool towards that end."
"[ARAS Tech Support],
I just thought I would let you know that the animation that you all helped me with, and for which you supplied me with a model of a Holden utility, has helped me clear a client of serious criminal charges. After reading my report and seeing the animation, the opposition agreed with my figures and the prosecution withdrew criminal charges and laid a minor traffic offence. I want to thank you and those who helped. It is important that we see justice served by a correct interpretation of evidence at collision scenes and ARAS is a tool towards that end."

ARAS 360 is a fast, responsive, user friendly, accurate, affordable, and frequently updated program...
"I was at first slightly apprehensive about purchasing a program which announced so many unchallenged claims. After attending the training and navigating the program, I realize I have not engaged a new tool, but an entire toolbox of products for not only our benefit, but the affordable benefit of our clients. Upgrades are fast and furious, with input not exclusively from the designers, but driven from user concerns and input as well. ARAS 360 is a fast, responsive, user friendly, accurate, affordable and frequently updated program exceeding the needs and expectations of the reconstruction professional and our clients. This is as close to an all-in-one of all the available products, as advertised."

"The ease of working with ARAS 360 saves me time when investigating and preparing a case."
"As a full time police officer running a part-time private accident reconstruction business, the ease of working with ARAS 360 saves me time when investigating and preparing a case. The final product is stunning and the animation proves itself in not only my private business but also my police reconstructions. Thank you for creating such a professional product."

"...Made my job easier."
I am by nature not easily impressed. However with ARAS 360, I am. They have made my job easier by allowing me to quickly learn to present professional graphics for clients, and made the dynamics of the crash easier to follow with better accuracy, for my peace of mind.
Clyde Rooke
"The graphics are amazing and the simplicity...is outstanding!"
"I had been using [a competitor's] animation software for several years before finding ARAS 360. Animations that took me several hours to complete on [the competing product] took me minutes to complete with ARAS 360! Specifically, a crash scene I animated on [the other software] took over 6 hours to complete. The same crash scene using ARAS 360...took 20 minutes. The graphics are amazing and the simplicity in putting everything together is outstanding!"

ARAS 360...helped to speed up our production pipeline."
"ARAS 360 has greatly helped to speed up our production pipeline. I was able to produce a first draft for the client, discuss revisions, and turn around and generate a second draft for review all within one day...and this was the day after we received the software in the mail."

"I have worked with several different diagramming programs and ARAS 360 is by far the best I have used."
I have worked with several different diagramming programs and ARAS 360 is by far the best I have used. It is very simple, easy, and user friendly. I use it all the time to make scale diagrams even when I do not have the time to map the scene using a Total Station. The animation portion is amazing. I never thought creating an accurate animation would be made so simple. Furthermore, the customer service is wonderful. If you need help or a model that is not already in the program, the company is very efficient in assisting you.

"ARAS 360 has far surpassed the competition."
"I have been involved in accident reconstruction and investigation for the past 14 years and have been associated with Mike Kennedy and his company since the early days of his previous product. Mike has come through with flying colors in developing what I thought at the time was the best accident reconstruction software compared to a range of other AR programs on the market. Since using his new ARAS 360 software, he has surpassed them all.
Apart from all the amazing features of the program I am tremendously impressed with the service of his sales and support team and the regular email and telephone contacts made to see that I'm fully satisfied. I feel like I am an involved partner with ARAS as I have the chance to request new models and things that I would like to see in the program as well as the regular weekly webinar sessions. ARAS 360 has far surpassed the competition and in my opinion, it is the most affordable program on the market. Keep it up and congratulations to the entire ARAS 360 team."

...nothing has the ease of use that ARAS 360 does."
"I have been involved in crash analysis and investigation for nearly 20 years and during that time I have used a range of mapping and diagramming programs, but nothing has the ease of use that ARAS 360 does together with the capability to produce high quality reports, scene plans and 3D reconstructions. I am also impressed with the level of after sales service and the willingness to work with reconstructionists from around the world."

"...I have always looked for one program that does it all. I can finally stop looking."
"ARAS 360 is the most amazing cutting edge software that I have seen. I have been reconstructing accidents for 30 years and have purchased virtually every other program available. ARAS 360 will perform all of the functions of the other programs and more. I have always looked for the one program that does it all. I can finally stop looking."

"...has far exceeded my expectations."
"After being involved in law enforcement for over thirty years, and working in the field of crash reconstruction, I have used most of the CAD programs that have been on the market. ARAS 360 has far exceeded my expectations. In my opinion, it is the best affordable program out there."

"...this is as good as it gets."
"Merging total station scene points with a Google Earth map and watching the 2D map conform to a 3D image based on scene data height measurements was almost amazing – watching a vehicle drive up and down that terrain with a few key strokes was amazing!
I have been training law enforcement for 25 years and this is as good as it gets. You find yourself asking 'why haven't we done that before?'
ARAS 360 will now make that possible, easy and the norm. I will be re-writing my manuals to incorporate ARAS 360."

I can't say enough about the intuitive functions and ease of operation of the software...
"When I was first approached about the ARAS 360 software, I honestly thought, 'Someone else is doing the same old thing with a new interface and a new bell or whistle." Not only was I incredibly wrong, the 'crow' I ate was quite tasty.
Forget about what you have done in the past and open your mind to a whole new experience. The ability to use aerial photos in a scale environment not only adds a new dimension to your courtroom presentation, but the time savings of taking accurate measurements from these photos is invaluable. When you factor in the ease of the total terrain, your presentations go from WOW to Holy Cow!
I can't say enough about the intuitive functions and ease of operation of the software as well as the time savings of the Collide simulation add-on. I can say this; call them. Ask for a demo and take advantage of having a one-on-one session where you can ask all the questions you want. You won't find a better software package for the money. Time is money and this is time and money well spent."

"ARAS 360 is a comprehensive, multi-functional reconstruction software package that is simple and easy to use. The total terrain feature is impressive. The 24-7 support is unheard of... yet greatly appreciated. ARAS 360 in an excellent addition to my arsenal of reconstruction tools and the tool I find myself using more every day.

"So user friendly that it only took a few days to learn."
ARAS 360 has been a great addition to my business. It has allowed me to add animation, and soon simulation, to the services that I offer. The animation program is so user friendly that it only took a few days to learn yet it allows me to create a professional animation in a short time.

"I have turned out complete diagrams in minutes instead of hours."
"I purchased ARAS 360 a few months ago and have had great results. The classroom and web training are superb and the instructors answered all my questions and took the time to make sure I understood. The customer service is some of the best ever. I have asked several technical questions and got answers and solutions in a timely manner. On a recent case I was able to show the crash sequence with animation and was able to support my findings visually.
The ease of creating a diagram and animation is unbelievably easy. I have turned out complete diagrams in minutes instead of hours. The Genius [calculation] module is easy to use and the ability to add additional formulas is a great feature. Instead of multiple programs, I can do all the calculations and diagramming in one program. My clients are happy with the quality of the work produced. Great job ARAS 360. I have and will continue to recommend you to others."

"Support after the sale is second to none."
"I have tested three or four different AR software programs out on the market, and thought I had found the one I was going to purchase. Then along comes ARAS 360, full time 3D AR software. I have viewed two different demos of full time 3D reconstruction software programs. ARAS 360 impressed me the most.
Animations are made quickly and with the greatest of ease. Synchronizing multiple impacts is a breeze. ARAS 360 is truly the one and only piece of AR software you will ever need for all your reconstruction needs. ARAS 360 is only limited by your imagination.
Support after the sale is second to none. It does not matter if you need sales support or tech support, it is there for you. Any and all questions I have had have been answered in a timely manner. If you are looking for a product that you cannot go wrong with, then ARAS 360 is your product."

"ARAS 360 has taken 3D animation to a whole new level."
"I first saw ARAS 360 demonstrated in Phoenix, AZ. August of 2010 and immediately purchased the software upon returning to the office, and have been using it since then. I found it extremely easy to learn the software and easy to use. I have used it in nearly every case since then. The attorneys I work with have told me it is instrumental in quick and favorable resolution of their cases. ARAS has constantly improved their product and made it easier to use. I also attended their four day training session and found the instructor to be helpful, giving clear instruction in all aspects of the capability of the software.
I have also had an animation accepted in two court cases in Anchorage, AK.
ARAS 360 has taken 3D animation to a whole new level and should be included in the tool box of any collision reconstruction expert."

"...a fast, efficient system."
"Kudos for ARAS 360...a fast, efficient system:
At 9:00 AM, one of our attorneys came to me requesting an animation for an upcoming mediation. After getting the details...a two-car 'T-Bone' accident...I asked when he needed it.
His response, "The mediation is at 11:00."
"Tomorrow?" I asked.
"No, Today!"
With my old system it would have been impossible to meet his needs, but...
Guess what, in less than an hour I modeled the situation, made four movies (two of them slo-mo), and presented a disc of the movies to him.
He used these to a good outcome, the mediator ruled in our favor; i.e., we got the settlement we requested."

I cannot express how happy I am with the software and the company itself, from the quality training that is given to the customer service that you provide. You don't see the kind of service you provide every day. Thank You Very Much!!!"

"A great use of new technology in 3D animation!"
"I wanted to thank you for contacting me when this new software became available. After having experience with several other software packages, I have found ARAS 360 to be a great use of new technology in 3D animation.
I can now produce a great accident animation that clearly exhibits many visual facets that were not possible in the 2D software packages. My very first reconstruction with the new software got some great responses from my co-workers.
I'm also very excited about using the new ARAS RCM online software. After working cases for 27 years it will be a relief to be able to get all of my files organized and in one place for rapid data retrieval. The template system will really cut my report processing time to a minimum and let me still keep the presentation professional looking!"

Way cool - it has been everything you said it would be! What a great program and easy to use. I can really see where this program is going to enhance the services our company offers to our clients."
