Data-powered estimates + digital inspections eliminate bottlenecks and speed approvals.
SAN DIEGO, Calif., April 13, 2026 – Mitchell 1 today announced the launch of OneFlow Estimator + Inspections, a powerful new bundled experience within its Manager™ SE shop management system designed to eliminate manual estimating and accelerate approvals. Powered by the Snap-on® Digital Engine, OneFlow Estimator generates fast, VIN-specific, customer-ready estimates and is now connected to digital vehicle inspections for a streamlined workflow.
Built for today’s complex vehicles and rising customer expectations, OneFlow Estimator reduces error-prone, time-consuming tasks – tackling one of the industry’s most persistent challenges. It delivers faster, more precise estimates, helping shops accelerate customer approvals to keep work moving. As part of Mitchell 1’s broader OneFlow vision, it connects inspection findings with validated estimating intelligence to power a more modern, profitable workflow.
“Estimating is where speed, accuracy and customer confidence intersect. It’s also where too many shops still lose time and opportunity,” said Cami Hermann, marketing director for Mitchell 1. “With OneFlow Estimator, we’re bringing validated intelligence directly into Manager SE. No other company can deliver a data-driven estimating experience like this.”
Powered by the Snap-on Digital Engine, OneFlow Estimator is backed by decades of proprietary data. It automatically matches parts, labor and related jobs to the estimate, using natural-language searches. Within seconds, it returns estimates that are organized, consistent and ready to present to customers.
Complementing Estimator, OneFlow Inspections helps shop professionals document and communicate recommended repairs with clear visuals that build transparency. Photos, videos and technician notes flow directly into Manager SE’s Job View suite, helping service writers create more complete, easy-to-understand estimates and invoices without re-entering details.
The dataset within the Snap-on Digital Engine includes:
- 3 billion verified repair records
- 5 million Mitchell 1 labor times
- 5 million OEM parts
- 470+ vehicle-specific repair jobs by VIN
- 500,000+ searchable real-world terms mapped to parts and jobs
“OneFlow Estimator makes estimating faster, smarter and more reliable,” Hermann added. “It replaces guesswork with validated data, helps shops present clearer estimates with confidence, and speeds the path from recommendation to approval – so they can deliver better service and grow with greater efficiency.”
