SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - October 19, 2009) - October 19, 2009 - Mitchell International,
Inc., a leading provider of information, workflow and performance
management solutions to the Collision Repair and Property & Casualty claims
industries today announced that it will unveil the industry's first Shop
Workspace at this year's NACE. The new Mitchell RepairCenter™ brings
shops of any size the flexibility to manage the repair, the customer, and
the business -- all from a single cohesive Workspace -- by enabling them to
select from a comprehensive set of functionality and modules. Collision
repairers are invited to design their own personalized Workspace firsthand
at Mitchell's Booth #N3087 during the show at the Mandalay Bay Convention
Center in Las Vegas from November 5th-7th.
This groundbreaking Workspace reinforces Mitchell's relentless commitment
to helping shops be more competitive and profitable by leveraging its 22
years of providing leading business management systems to more shops than
any other company and its 63-year history improving efficiency,
profitability, and growth within collision repair shops. Mitchell used this
firsthand knowledge to drill down and understand how all employees -- from
technicians and estimators to owners and managers -- access the key tools
they need across all areas of the shop to achieve ultimate productivity.
In doing so, Mitchell found that what shops needed most was the ability to
manage the repair, the customer, and the business all from within a single
Workspace. RepairCenter delivers end-to-end performance to serve the needs
of everyone involved in the repair process, including the technician (who
fixes the vehicle), the customer (who expects quality service), and the
shop owner (who manages the day-to-day business).
"As the leader in providing business management solutions to the industry,
it was clear that we needed to extend beyond what is found in today's shop
systems," said Jason Bertellotti, Vice President of Repair Solutions,
Mitchell International. "With monumental changes occurring in the industry
-- from complex vehicle repairs to increased competition and tightening
margins -- we've combined repair, customer, and business management into a
single Workspace that is robust yet scalable to meet the needs of any size
collision repair shop."
Bertellotti added, "While there are definitely similarities in how
collision repair shops run their business, each is unique in how they adapt
to industry changes in order to grow their business. RepairCenter takes
our ultimate goal of taking shops to the next level by providing them with
a solution that's the right fit for their business needs today, while also
giving them the opportunity to easily choose to add capabilities as their
business needs evolve over time."
