Press Release:  Mitchell Reports Record Sales of ABS(TM) Shop Management
Solutions in First Quarter 2007

 

Adoption of ABS as Preferred Shop Management Solution Eclipses Record Pace
of Sales Achieved in 2006

 

SAN DIEGO, CA -- April 09, 2007 -- Mitchell International, a leading
provider of information, workflow, and performance management solutions to
the collision claims and repair industries, today announced record sales of
its industry-leading shop management solutions, ABS(TM) and ABS(TM)
Enterprise in the first quarter, 2007. This record pace of ABS sales
eclipses the benchmark highs achieved in 2006 when annual sales of ABS were
up 40% over the prior year.

 

Mitchell attributes the success of ABS to the products' proven ability to
help repair shops increase operational efficiency, gain invaluable
decision-support information, as well as to Mitchell's superior customer
support. ABS is providing repair shops with a comprehensive, practical tool
kit for optimizing their business performance in an increasingly competitive
operational environment.

 

"Record numbers of repairers are basing their business on Mitchell's ABS
solutions. ABS is clearly on track to maintain its current market position
as the preferred business management system for repair shops because it
provides shops with powerful, yet practical tools needed to gain better
control of their business. Like most businesses, collision repair shops are
at the mercy of market forces outside of their control. Given this backdrop,
ABS gives shops the ability to gain full command over the things they can
control -- their business operations," said Marc Brungger, Executive Vice
President-APD Solutions at Mitchell.

 

Both ABS (desktop, for single shops) and ABS Enterprise (web-based, for
high-performing and multi-location shops) automate routine operations like
job-costing, parts-management, and scheduling, and generate more than 100
detailed productivity and profitability reports so owners and managers have
the information they need to make smart business decisions.
