Mitchell recently announced that it is now possible to connect to Intuit QuickBooks Online within the Mitchell RepairCenter solution.

Due to this integration, collision repair shops can now access Intuit’s cloud-based accounting within the RepairCenter solution’s complete facility management capabilities.

Mitchell states in a release that its integration with QuickBooks Online is a demonstration of its commitment to cloud technology, also providing additional benefits to its auto body customers. A major benefit is the easy data flow from estimating to repair management to accounting, due to the integration and smooth transfer of data. This enables all systems to work in-sync.

“Mitchell’s integration with QuickBooks Online is an embodiment of our foundational vision to partner well, and delivers great value for our repair customers,” said Jack Rozint, Senior Vice President, Repair Sales & Service, Auto Physical Damage, Mitchell. “Furthering Mitchell’s collaboration with one of the most robust accounting solutions demonstrates our desire to continuously invest in both our core repair product suite and cloud technology to drive innovation in collision repair. We look forward to the positive impact this will have on our customers’ businesses.”

Mitchell lists the following advantages of the integration between RepairCenter and QuickBooks Online:

• Consistent and smooth transfer of data from RepairCenter to QuickBooks Online.
• Creation of accounts receivable, accounts payable and payments on the basis of repair orders.
• Payments from customers and insurers being processed easily.
• QuickBooks Online is providing support to users that have QuickBooks Desktop, to transition to QuickBooks Online free-of-charge. This standard offering will allow RepairCenter customers with a desktop interface to smoothly migrate to the online version.

Due to Mitchell’s relationship with QuickBooks Online, its customers will be receiving a considerable discount through 2020.
