OneFlow Estimator

OneFlow Estimator is Mitchell 1's latest innovation to help shops build faster estimates. You can build jobs right inside of OneFlow Estimator and easily confirm what you are transferring to the Manager SE Order Screen.

OneFlow Estimator is opened by clicking the 1 Estimator Button in the order screen. Four lookup options are available.

1. Search - Most popular: Typing what you’re looking for – ‘brake pads’, or similar.

3. Maintenance Schedule Lookup: Look up parts and Labor for scheduled maintenance due.
4. Parts Lookup: Alternate access: if you prefer to start with a parts lookup instead of typing a search term as with #1.
