MEGA Group USA Signs New Five Year Agreement with Safeware

Furniture World News Desk on 3/30/2015

MEGA Group USA reported that it has extended its relationship with Safeware, a leading Third Party Administrator for Extended Warranty and Service Plan Solutions, to be the provider of their Product Protection Plans through 2019.

MEGA Group USA is an organization of retailers focused on delivering excellence in products and service with more than 1,700 members operating over 2,500 stores. The group supports member needs with a wide-range of essential business services programs. One such core service is the MEGA Product Protection Plan, which Safeware has administered since 2012 under the original agreement.

Safeware’s President Bryan Schutjer said, “MEGA is a key relationship for Safeware and we are thrilled to extend this important partnership. Our focus remains on providing MEGA and its members with exceptional service to enrich the customer experience and foster additional growth within the program.”

Through collaborative product development, the partnership quickly proved to be a success with member participation increasing significantly. By the end of 2014, written contracts had increased at dramatic rates since Safeware began administering the program.

“Safeware has been an incredible asset to MEGA’s product protection program”, said Mallory Parker, EVP Business Services for MEGA. “We have a true partnership that is not found anywhere else in the industry. Safeware’s abilities and this type of relationship is why the MEGA program is and will continue to be an industry leader.”

A key driver for this growth was the introduction of an innovative and comprehensive approach to furniture protection with the Jaws & Claws™ program. This program provides members with industry firsts such as pet damage and all stains coverage without the myriad of exclusions typically found in plans for furniture products. With these enhancements and a focus on providing the highest quality service, this segment of the business has seen unprecedented growth in written contracts in the last three years.
