The latest software release of the Mitchell 1 Manager SE shop management system introduces Job View, a powerful new feature that improves the clarity and organization of estimates and invoices for auto repair shops.

Job View is among the productivity enhancements introduced in Manager SE v9.1, designed to help shop professionals improve efficiency in their daily operations. The feature enables users to efficiently organize labor operations and parts “by the job” and enhance profitability for every job. 

“With Job View, shops can create clear, well-organized estimates and invoices with a few clicks. It eliminates the hassle of manually rearranging line items – improving the clarity of customer documents while keeping everything neatly organized onscreen,” said Jen MacDonald, director of marketing at Mitchell 1.

“This feature not only simplifies daily tasks but also helps speed up customer approvals.”

Job View organizes related labor tasks and parts into easy-to-read, grouped job elements through job containers. It also lets users effortlessly manage deferred work by converting any grouped job container items into “canned jobs.”

In addition, deferred jobs can be easily moved with just a single click to a dedicated sub-estimate tab on the revisions screen, named automatically from the job. Plus, Job View enables shops to check the profitability of individual jobs to ensure they are meeting profit goals.

“The new Job View feature significantly enhances a service advisor’s day-to-day experience, allowing them to quickly build clear, detailed estimates with segmented job-level detail,” said Tim McDonnell, senior product marketing manager for Manager SE.

“It is among the most important updates we’ve delivered to date – yet another example of innovation based on our customers’ feedback. Manager SE continues to evolve, thanks to direct input from our loyal customers.”

Manager SE shop management software helps mechanical auto repair shops streamline workflow and track activity from estimate to invoice. The tools and reports in Manager SE give shops a 360-degree view of the entire operation, helping them manage repairs, customer service and the overall business more efficiently and profitably. Manager SE is integrated with ProDemand^®, Mitchell 1’s comprehensive repair information system to further increase shop productivity.
