ServicePower announces agreement with
ESI
Will provide Web-based scheduling and dispatch solution
to manage ESI’s service dealer network
Louisville, KY, August 17, 2006 – ServicePower’s
Field Service Solutions (FSS) Division, a provider of Web-based,
automated job scheduling and warranty chain management services
for the service delivery and installation industries, today
announced that it has signed an agreement with E&S International
Enterprises (ESI), a manufacturer, distributor, and marketer
of a wide variety of consumer products under several brand names.
Under the terms of the agreement, ServicePower will provide
Web-based applications to manage and maintain the service dealer
network, which includes a network of qualified, independent
product service dealers throughout the U.S., for the consumer
electronics and appliance divisions of ESI. This will involve
providing a Web-based scheduling and dispatch application to
book time-banded appointments in real time and dispatch jobs
to ESI’s service dealers, receiving and processing warranty
claims and payments, providing warranty analysis reports to
monitor product and parts failures, and following up with quality-of-service
surveys.
“We have been busy building our branded divisions of
consumer electronics at ESI,” commented Michael Rad, COO
of ESI. “We now manufacture and deliver cutting-edge consumer
entertainment products to all of the major retailers in the
U.S. Quality products and focused customer service are the key
value-added benefits for our retailer/dealer accounts and end
users. ServicePower will provide us not only with the tools
to maintain that quality of service, but they will also manage
the process for us.”
“ESI was already managing their service dealer network
using Web-based systems that allowed real-time tracking and
management of inventory,” commented Chris Smith, CEO of
ServicePower Field Service Solutions. “Where we provide
invaluable expertise and additional functionality is in the
implementation of our scheduling and dispatch solutions to manage
ESI’s service dealer network, claims resolutions, and
warranty analysis at a higher level,” he added.
