SatisFusion First to Integrate with FieldPower

SatisFusion's MyClaims™ integration with the NESDA FieldPower System offers improved efficiency to Service Centers.

Long Beach, Calif. - July 07, 2003 -SatisFusion, the leading provider of Post-Sales Consumer Relationship Management software and services, the National Electronics Service Dealers Association (NESDA), the leading industry association for field service in the consumer electronics industry, and FieldPower, the leader in Field Force Automation software, has announced the successful completion of the integration of SatisFusion's MyClaims™ claims processing application with the NESDA FieldPower system.

The integration with SatisFusion's MyClaims application eliminates the need for double entry of consumer warranty information. Once enrollment is completed, the service center simply selects and clicks - the claims are instantly submitted electronically to SatisFusion for validation and processing.

MyClaims is a powerful claims processing application offered by SatisFusion to consumer electronics manufacturers and third party administrators. MyClaims automates many of the manual processes associated with validating warranty claims - improving efficiencies for manufacturers and TPA's, reducing turn-around times and increasing the speed of warranty reimbursement to service centers.

The NESDA FieldPower system brings cutting edge Internet based field service technology to the consumer electronics industry and creates an industry standard by which manufacturers, warranty centers, and independent field service companies can efficiently coordinate field service. For the thousands of independent field service companies, NESDA FieldPower is a complete scheduling, tracking and reporting system they can use for internally scheduled service calls and to receive increased service call volume from manufacturers and warranty centers. NESDA FieldPower is a joint effort of NESDA and FieldPower, Inc.

"We're very pleased with the speed and enthusiastic support SatisFusion has shown in completing the integration so quickly," stated Mack Blakely, Executive Director of NESDA. "It couldn't be easier to submit claims electronically, and the new MyClaims integration makes FieldPower even more valuable to the service community" Blakely concluded.

"NESDA continues to set the standards for the consumer electronics service industry, and I'm proud that SatisFusion's MyClaims application is recognized as NESDA's first choice," stated Fay Wood, Chairman & Founder of SatisFusion, Inc. "We've worked very hard to leverage our industry experience to deliver a claims processing application that is powerful, flexible and easy to use. I'm confident MyClaims will add value to FieldPower's impressive list of features and benefits to the service centers" Wood added.

"I'm proud that NESDA FieldPower was built with input from so many service centers and manufacturers" Neil Murphy, President of FieldPower, Inc said. " The software gives manufacturers the ability to schedule service center work with the first consumer phone call, while allowing service centers to fully control how much time they offer each manufacturer. "We are so pleased to have teamed up with NESDA, the industries premier association and SatisFusion, who truly understands the industry and has a breath of services that can support anyone",
