Welcome to NetView Release 3.5!
We’re excited to introduce the latest enhancements to the NetView platform. Guided by customer feedback and our continued focus on advancing modern dealership operations, this release introduces several new features and improvements designed to expand NetView’s capabilities and help dealerships work more efficiently.
Happy Spring! Wishing you continued success in 2026.
Text to Pay (Service and POS)
Text to Pay (TTP) offers a convenient new way for customers to pay their invoices. Dealerships can send customers a text message with a secure link to make a remote credit card payment for settled POS and ROM invoices.
- SMS messages are white-labeled and sent on behalf of your dealership.
- Text to Pay links can be managed from NetView Desktop using the new TTP dashboard.
- The TTP dashboard also allows you to configure message content.
Parts API (v2 Framework)
The NetView public API now supports Parts information through the v2 framework.
Available endpoints include:
- Parts
- Parts Qty
- Part Search
- Vendor List
- Vendor Search
The long-awaited Parts endpoints will be released in the coming days.
General Enhancements
- Reflects HBS Systems’ 2025 move to the new Bethany Drive office location.

- Allows price file update reporting to be sent by email.
- Reduces paper usage.

- A new Active View widget that shows who has sold the most parts.

- PC allows users to resume the check writing process without having to call Support.
- Ensures parts from price files are stored as “001” rather than “1,” which is needed for correct use in some parts of the system.
- Changes the behavior for data range selections within RW.
- Adjusts how cores are handled during this process.
- Adjusts how parts are sorted.
- Corrects occasions where sales tax was misallocated to an invalid account during a Kubota Ecommerce transaction through POS.
