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.

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.
