Overview

A leading financial services company faced significant challenges in managing and tracking ancillary products, including Warranty, GAP, Service Contracts, Credit Life, Credit Disability, and Tire/Wheel insurance. Their existing system relied heavily on manual processes for calculations, tracking, and refunds, leading to inefficiencies, inaccuracies, and compliance risks. The lack of robust data management, reporting capabilities, and user accessibility further hampered productivity and increased the likelihood of errors and non-compliance.

Challenge

The client, a financial services company, struggled with managing and tracking ancillary products such as Warranty, GAP, Service Contracts, Credit Life, Credit Disability, and Tire/Wheel insurance. The existing system was inefficient, requiring extensive manual effort to calculate, process, track, and collect refunds. Additionally, the platform lacked robust data management, reporting capabilities, and user accessibility, hindering productivity and increasing the risk of inaccuracies and non-compliance.
