SAN DIEGO, Calif., Oct. 7, 2026 – Mitchell 1 is pleased to announce it has won a 2026 Professional Tool & Equipment News (PTEN) Innovation Award for its digital vehicle inspections solution – originally introduced as Manager SE Inspections and now part of the OneFlow Estimating + Inspections experience.
“We are honored to receive a PTEN Innovation Award for our new inspections product and appreciate the judges for recognizing it as one of the year’s top innovations in the automotive shop software category,” said Cami Hermann, director of marketing at Mitchell 1. “It helps shops keep the inspection process organized and moving, making it faster to complete inspections, build estimates and communicate more transparently with customers.
The product, renamed OneFlow Inspections, is a multi-point inspection tool that uses customizable templates to capture photos, videos, notes and recommendations in real time. Inspection results flow directly into the Manager SE shop management system, where findings are converted into detailed, priced estimates that customers can view and approve through a secure portal on any mobile device or PC.
A brief video provides an overview of the inspections solution and its capabilities.
Chosen by a panel of judges consisting of technicians and shop owners, the PTEN Innovation Awards recognize those outstanding companies whose products respond to the automotive repair industry’s market challenges with creativity and innovation.
