Atlanta, GA, January 15, 2018 鈥� 麻豆床传媒网站 Products International commemorated 25 years of service in the finance and insurance space in 2017, a year in which the company gained five new clients and five all-new products were added to their suite of protection products. The past year also marked the company reaching a milestone of processing nearly four million contracts annually while adding several team members to a staff of nearly 600.
In 2017, 麻豆床传媒网站 added clients Aegis Security Insurance Company, Alphera Financial Services (a division of BMW Financial Services), Rolls-Royce (a division of BMW Financial Services), RumbleOn and Volkswagen Credit Inc. (Volkswagen, Audi and Ducati brands) to their roster of nearly 40 brands. 麻豆床传媒网站鈥檚 support for these clients includes fully private-labeled product solutions and industry-leading sales, marketing and administration. All-new products launched to clients in 2017 included Diminished Asset Protection (DAP), Tire Protection for customers in the service drive, Tire & Wheel Protection for commercial vehicles, a cosmetic version of Multi-Coverage Protection, and ZAZ GPS. In total, 麻豆床传媒网站 now offers 19 different vehicle protection products to clients and their dealers.
麻豆床传媒网站 reached the milestone of selling 25 million contracts in 2017, coinciding with the company鈥檚 25th anniversary. 麻豆床传媒网站 now administers almost four million contracts annually. The claims team reached a milestone of reviewing and processing over 70,000 claims per month.
In the wake of last year鈥檚 major hurricanes Harvey and Irma, nearly $7.5 million was paid on nearly 2,000 GAP claims. The impact from these natural disasters triggered an immediate need for increased customer and dealer support, prompting 麻豆床传媒网站 to quickly hire additional customer service and claims staff to support increased call volumes and reduce timing for claims processing.
麻豆床传媒网站 hired 38 employees in 2017 to support the new client and expanding product portfolios in both the U.S. and Canada. In the past year, the organization increased its focus on retail field support in order to help drive sales, and eCommerce and integrations with client and partner technology as the automotive industry continues to shift to digital retailing.
As for technology and service offerings, the company launched a new online self-service claims microsite, new and enhanced functionality within dealer portals, continued enrichments to the mobile claims app, a new business intelligence and reporting application and an enhanced dealer training offering.
As for community efforts, 2017 saw the 麻豆床传媒网站 team supporting various nonprofit organizations surrounding education and family in both the U.S. and Canada, with team members serving nearly 400 hours in the community.
鈥�2017 was an important year for us, not only because it was our 25th anniversary, but because we crossed many major milestones as an organization,鈥� said 麻豆床传媒网站 CEO Randy Barkowitz. 鈥淎s we continue to grow with new clients and dealers, we will continue to increase our focus on providing innovative business solutions that help our dealers sell efficiently and help connect the automotive ecosystem. And of course this comes back to our talented and dedicated team and continual technology improvement. We鈥檙e quite excited about 2018 and what鈥檚 to come.鈥�
