For Immediate Release
SatisFusion Expands its Extended Support Plan
Capabilities Through Integration with Large Third Party Administrator
Long Beach, Calif. - March 31, 2003 - SatisFusion, a leading provider
of Post-Sales Consumer Relationship Management Solutions today announced it
has completed the integration of the SalesCentral module of its BusinessCentral
platform with Warranty Corporation of America (WaCA), the largest independent
extended service contract administrator in the United States.
The integration of the SalesCentral
module will facilitate the automated exchange of consumer information (product
details, date of purchase, consumer information, etc.) from SatisFusion to
WaCA. The integration also expands SatisFusion's ESP offerings - as by leveraging
Warranty Corporation's ConsumerCare ESP products, SatisFusion will now be
able to extend the categories of plans offered to its customers, including
the addition of the computer, appliance, wireless, HVAC and Lawn & Garden
categories. A further benefit of the integration will be the customer care
efficiencies realized by the seamless updating of Plan details, consumer information,
pricing, and more.
"What we have here is truly
an industry first - by integrating the Plan offerings of a major Third Party
Administrator with our BusinessCentral platform, a wider base of manufacturers
are able to benefit from our programs," stated Fay Wood, Founder and
Chairman of SatisFusion. "And through this expanded assortment of Plans,
more consumers will be offered the peace-of-mind of an Extended Support Plan
backed by one of the world's largest TPA's," Wood added.
"The integration
of the Warranty Corporation's ConsumerCare plans into SatisFusion's technology
represents not only a new sales channel for WaCA, but also a more efficient
platform from which to offer these Plans to consumers" said Joan Hammer,
President and CEO of Warranty Corporation of America. "Through SatisFusion's
technology, consumers will be automatically offered the opportunity to purchase
the Plans several times throughout the manufacturer's warranty period. These
opportunities keep us very close with our customer base. We're very pleased
with the integration" Hammer concluded.
