    The decision that matters

    Compare Fullbay with Manager SE Truck Edition, not with the automotive product or repair information alone. Both target truck-shop operations; packaging, deployment and truck-data licenses are the meaningful differences.

    Class 4–8 independent shop

    Run a multi-day truck repair through estimate, parts ordering, technician time, customer approval and fleet invoice in each. Check the exact labor/data products in the quote.

    Existing Mitchell 1 customer

    Ask which existing TruckSeries licenses, histories and staff workflows can be retained. Do not assume switching Fullbay or connecting a Mitchell product removes a separate license.

    Compare the complete cost, not the starting price

    Use the same staff roles and unit examples. Compare annual contract obligations, deployment/backup responsibility, conversion scope and full truck-data licensing costs.

    Use the same job in both demonstrations

    1. Create a representative unit and repair, including mileage/engine hours where relevant, inspection photos and an estimate revision.
    2. Assign two technicians, issue an in-stock part, order a missing part and capture labor across more than one day.
    3. Obtain a sample customer authorization, complete an invoice and reconcile the payment or fleet statement without sending a live request.
    4. Export the completed history and an open repair. Confirm attachments, accounting totals, permissions and contract exit terms.
