Shop Management Unleashed: Optimizing Repair Shop Efficiency with Mitchell 1’s Manager SE

We’re excited to bring our popular shop management training to the CARS event! The “Shop Management Unleashed” session will be led by our own Tim McDonnell, Mitchell 1 National Training Manager, on Wednesday, July 22 from 1:00 to – 2:30 p.m. at the COBO Center in Detroit, Michigan during NACE | CARS 2015.

This session is designed for the leadership management and mechanical technical tracks, and will focus on optimizing repair shop efficiency. Tim will help attendees discover where they could improve profit-generating potential and discuss solutions to maximize efficiency for their business and customers through Mitchell 1’s own Manager SE shop management system and newly-developed integrated solutions.

This 90-minute session is based on content from our two-day shop management workshop that is led by Tim and John Dwulet, Sr. Product Manager for Mitchell 1’s management software solutions. In this “lite” version of the workshop, Tim will help you unleash the time-saving power of the Mitchell 1 or ShopKey shop management software.

Topics include:

  • Configuring Work-in-Progress screen, shortcuts, user preferences
  • Automating HazMat, shop supplies, labor rates, tax settings, customer types, late fees
  • Setup for the way you work: reports/printers, security, vehicle recommendations
  • Repair order tips: options, parts, labor, sublet, notes, symptoms, revisions, history
  • Simplify repeated tasks: part kits, canned jobs
  • Manager SE Overdrive: connecting to the industry’s widest selection of parts catalogs
  • How inventory and purchase orders work with electronic parts ordering
  • Follow-up tools generate additional business and customer loyalty
  • Extending your shop management system into your driveway and your bays with Mobile ManagerPro

If you’re a current user of the Manager SE or ShopKey management system, this training is perfect for you. But the session is also valuable for anyone interested in learning about the features and benefits the software offers to increase efficiency in all aspects of an auto repair business.

This year, CARS is featuring more mechanical specialty and technical training than ever before, with sessions, such as this one, focused on leadership from all segments of the automotive service repair industry.
