Mitchell 1 integrates hundreds of millions of automotive repair orders while delivering comprehensive diagnostic information in seconds. Mitchell 1 uses MarkLogic to power its SureTrack and ProDemand services, and improve the usability of parent company Snap-on’s handheld diagnostic tools, which help auto shops diagnose and fix cars faster. This has resulted in increased business, customer loyalty, and market share.
The MarkLogic database is a powerful tool for us, constantly offering valuable new features like semantics that can further differentiate us from competitors. We can gather valuable information from multiple—and growing—sources, connect the dots across our data siloes, and then answer all of our customers’ questions in one spot. This helps us achieve our end goal of helping customers fix cars faster.
