Nov. 18, 2021—Mitchell 1 has added new time management features to its latest software release. 

The update will allow shops to automatically generate productivity statistics as their technicians clock in and out of labor operations and provides the option to track employee shift hours.

 “Shops and technicians need to know the status of the work in-house, if certain jobs have been started and how much progress has been made, as well as how long it will take each technician to complete their work. The technicians and their managers can quickly ascertain ‘clocked hours’ against ‘paid hours per job’ to identify in real time how effectively that technician is utilizing their at-work hours. These new features help shops keep track of their labor margin, along with employee hours, to increase efficiency and profits,”  Ben Johnson, director of product management forMitchell 1, said in a statement. 

Additional features of the latest software release also include an employee shift clock, which allows employees to clock into their work shift and track their hours on their mobile device, and a current activity screen.
