Mitchell 1 partners with the Automotive Distribution Network

Oct. 3, 2008

Mitchell 1 is partnering with the Automotive Distribution Network as part of Mitchell 1's ongoing effort to further extend its national network of connectivity to automotive parts suppliers.

The national network provides repair shop owners greater flexibility and increased efficiencies in ordering parts when they use Mitchell 1's Manager and ManagerPlus shop management systems.

The union is a true partnership, according to Mitchell 1.

* Mitchell 1 customers will gain electronic access to the Automotive Distribution Network's line of aftermarket parts, tools, supplies, equipment and accessories. They also will also benefit from the Automotive Distribution Networks' new WebShop Virtual Inventory, a Web-based supply-chain tool that enables the service dealer to conduct a real-time stock check of not only the distributor's inventory, but also that of other trading partners should the part not be in stock.

* Automotive Distribution Network customers will enjoy special discounts and savings on the entire line of Mitchell 1 software products.

Both Mitchell 1 and Automotive Distribution Network customers will experience a streamlined, Internet-based parts ordering system that dramatically reduces the estimating and invoicing time requirement; virtually eliminates the communication issues that may cause the ordering/receipt of incorrect parts; reduces related shop technician inefficiencies; and ensures that the desired profitability has been obtained on each job before it is quoted.
