We've been in the automotive shop management software business since 1995 and our experience shows in the strength of our flagship shop management software: Mitchell 1 Manager and ManagerPlus. The hub of our software suite, Mitchell 1 Manager and ManagerPlus, provide an integrated approach to repair shop productivity and administration which provides our customers with what they demand from a great shop management program: an increase in profits. And with both dial-up and high speed electronic parts ordering using catalogs from Alliance members using IAP, ACDelco, NAPA, Activant, or Worldpac - we've got you covered.

Manager gives you instant access to customer and vehicle history, estimating and scheduled services, follow-up marketing, extensive reporting and scheduling. Going a step beyond, ManagerPlus provides all the functionality of Manager plus parts inventory and purchase-order control.

From estimate to invoice, Manager and ManagerPlus track every job from start to finish. With more than 100 Accounting, Management, Client and Parts/Inventory reports, you will finish in the winning position: with more money in your bank account and more time to spend it. We're #1 for a reason: Mitchell 1.

Features
We've worked closely with our shop management customers to incorporate valuable features designed to increase your shop's profits. Click on any feature thumbnail to view an enlarged screen capture:
	The Manager Repair Order Screen provides access to TSBs, scheduled services, parts, labor, and repair information.
	The Profit Wheel lets you quickly see a detailed breakdown of where the shop is making money - and where it may be losing it. This way you can make sure the job meets your profit requirement, before you give the customer the estimate.
	Using the powerful Symptoms Wizard, diagnostic time is easily incorporated into the repair order.
	You can transfer tires, brakes, and/or lube/oil filter (LOF) packages and add user-customizable parts and labor specials to orders.
	Manager gives you more than 100 printable reports, including customer follow-up, management, and accounting reports.
	Select from a complete list of mileage intervals, starting at 2,500 and up to 120,000 miles (including all manufacturer's recommended intervals). Another click transfers the checklist right into an estimate or reair order.
	Going a step beyond, ManagerPlus provides all the functionality of Manager "plus" parts, inventory, and purchase-order control. With more than 35-inventory/purchasing reports, ManagerPlus gives you complete control of inventory tracking.
	Manager/ManagerPlus seamlessly integrate with the Activant ShopCat™ and WorldPac Speed Dial™ Parts Catalogs to provide instant access to parts information and online ordering from within Repair Orders.
	The Price/Markup Matrix allows you to progressively scale your parts markup according to what you paid for each part. In other words, parts that cost less than a dollar are marked up at a much higher rate than parts that cost $200. We recommended using several levels to remain profitable and competitive where it really counts.
