Mitchell International has announced a new partnership with GRC-Pirk to provide environmental sustainability software to Mitchell RepairCenter customers.
 
The integration with Mitchell RepairCenter, which is expected to roll out early in the second quarter, will provide collision repair facilities with tools to track their pollution prevention and energy reduction efforts. According to Mitchell, the solution eliminates the need for shops to document their results manually and helps reduce the risk of non-compliance with regulatory requirements.

The GRC-Pirk GreenYield program extracts monthly repair order performance patterns from Mitchell's RepairCenter application and compares equivalent engineering conversion units to previous corresponding periods on a continuous basis.

"Our relationship with GRC-Pirk allows us to offer accounting and sustainability solutions that operate in one package. In turn, our customers can feel secure that they have the necessary data to validate their green business achievements," said Jason Bertellotti, vice president of repair solutions of Mitchell International. "Technology tools from a company like GRC-Pirk let our customers focus on repairing cars, not managing regulatory reports. We're making it easier to help shops help the environment and comply with the regulatory requirements."
 
Steven Schillinger, president of GRC-Pirk, added, "The launch of our GreenYield application provides the technical mechanism for independent reporting of insurance discounts, utility rebates and tax credits. These scientifically derived datasets were developed in cooperation with the U.S. EPA as the foundation for GreenSWEEP monitoring, an award-winning, web-based tool that provides an official record of sustainable waste, emissions and energy performance through dynamic, detailed tabular reports."
 
"GRC-Pirk Management has become the 'go-to' compliance company for collision repair shops and paint manufacturers alike," said Cassandra Azzam, CFO of GRC-Pirk. "Our online services enable shop owners and managers to better educate their customers and insurance providers on the value of going green."
