Mitchell 1 and ACDelco are pleased to announce they have teamed up/collaborated to deliver one of the most advanced shop management tools in the industry. The newest addition of ACDelco’s Web Integrated Service Environment (WISE) software, WISE 3.0, is designed to help professional technicians stay on top of the latest technology, techniques and tools. The new program delivers e-business solutions that integrate every facet of a shop’s business into a single, seamless process.

With the ACDelco WISE 3.0 program, technicians will benefit from a portfolio of software from Mitchell 1, which includes OnDemand5 Manager, OnDemand5 Estimator, OnDemand5 Repair and the new QuickBooks interface. With the OnDemand5 repair component, technicians have access to features that include full color, fully searchable and scalable system wiring diagrams, which are powerful, yet simple to navigate. The program has been redesigned to deliver sophisticated search capabilities with increased speed. It also provides time-saving shortcuts to TSBs, wiring diagrams and more.

The new QuickBooks interface provides efficient implementation of accounting data directly from Mitchell 1 into a shop’s QuickBooks files.

“Mitchell 1 is excited to team up / be involved / work with ACDelco on the new WISE 3.0 software and to provide the next-generation of products that will greatly enhance users’ features and benefits, which will ultimately increase their shops’ overall productivity and profits,” said Dan Kelley, director of strategic partnerships, Mitchell 1.

The WISE 3.0 program provides total business integration. Shops can easily establish lines of communication between the front office and service bays to eliminate redundant administrative tasks, speed the parts-ordering process by connecting directly to the warehouse distributor for accurate, real-time availability and pricing, track labor-time-per-repair order to manage technician productivity, and automatically compute the profit margin for each invoice.

“Simply put, participation in the WISE program presents a win for everyone. The independent service shop wins by having affordable electronic connectivity to a global parts provider integrated into a premier shop management system; the distributor wins with increased parts sales volume and lowered administrative costs; and Mitchell 1 and ACDelco win through the success of our customers and moving more of our products to those who need them,” said Dan Heritage, WISE quality assurance coordinator, ACDelco eBusiness Group.

Several governors across the country have declared April as Car Care Month in their respective states, urging their residents to be car care aware and perform the service necessary to ensure their vehicles are operating in a safe, efficient and clean manner.
The following governors have issued official state proclamations that April is Car Care Month: Gov. Robert Bentley of Alabama, Gov. John Hickenlooper of Colorado, Gov. Pat Quinn of Illinois, Gov. Rick Snyder of Michigan, Gov. Susana Martinez of New Mexico, Gov. John A. Kitzhaber, M.D. of Oregon, Gov. Nikki R. Haley of South Carolina, Gov. Bill Haslam of Tennessee, Gov. Peter Shumlin of Vermont and Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin of West Virginia.
“We want to thank these governors for officially proclaiming April as Car Care Month,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Car Care Month provides a unique opportunity for the auto care industry and the government to educate car owners on the importance of proper vehicle care. Motor vehicle safety continues to be a major focus for state legislatures and regulatory agencies across the country, so we commend each of the governors for making these important proclamations.”
Spring is the perfect time for motorists to make sure their vehicles are running reliably after a rough winter and before the summer driving season begins. Many independent repair shops and community organizations throughout the country will conduct car care events during April. These events have revealed that three out of four vehicles inspected are in need of some type of maintenance or repair.
The non-profit Car Care Council offers many free tools on its website to help consumers drive smart, save money and be more environmentally friendly, including the popular 60-page Car Care Guide and a custom service schedule and email reminder service.
“By following a service schedule and performing preventative vehicle maintenance, motorists can ensure that their vehicles are safe and dependable. Plus, auto care can help save money in many ways, including reducing fuel consumption and extending vehicle life,” continued White. “We encourage all car owners across the country to get their vehicles inspected this April.”
