After, Inc. just published a first-of-its-kind ‘Warranty Claims Scoring 101’ guide, giving manufacturers an in-depth look at how automated claims scoring is transforming the industry

NORWALK, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- After, Inc., a global leader in Warranty Services since 2005, developed a "Warranty Claims Scoring 101" guide, leveraging the expertise of its world-class Warranty Analytics team and over 17 years of claim scoring experience. Warranty Claims Scoring is a discipline not widely understood. Few in the industry know how these models are built and implemented, and the significant cost savings they can deliver. After, Inc. developed this guide to educate manufacturers, specifically now, when high inflation, layoffs, and supply chain issues are accelerating the need for warranty business transformation.

After, Inc.'s Group Director of Analytics, Dan Adelsberg, widely respected in the industry for his warranty-specific expertise, helped create this guide.

"What we see when we analyze clients' current systems is their use of basic business rules to process warranty claims," said Adelsberg. "For example, one manufacturer might automatically approve all claims below a certain cost. Another might check whether labor and parts costs are accurate, but neglect to compare those costs across similar dealers in its network. These examples and many others like them illustrate the need for more sophisticated claims scoring models - models that can better identify anomalies and save manufacturers millions in claim costs every year."

After, Inc.'s "Warranty Claims Scoring 101" guide covers:

* What is warranty claims scoring?

* How does it work?

* What challenges does claims scoring solve?

* How do I implement it?

* What results should I expect?

Choyce Peterson Negotiates 39,649 SF Lease for Triton International’s Largest Global Office to Remain in Purchase, NY

NORWALK, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Choyce Peterson, Inc. (choycepeterson.com), a full-service commercial real estate brokerage firm, announced the successful conclusion of lease negotiations on behalf of Triton International (Triton) (tritoninternational.com), an intermodal container leasing corporation, for a 39,649 square foot (SF) office at 100 Manhattanville Road in Purchase, N.Y. This transaction represents the largest office relocation lease on the east side of Westchester County completed in 2022. Choyce Peterson Principal John Hannigan and Vice President Charlene O'Connell represented Triton International in this transaction.

With Triton's lease expiring at 100 Manhattanville Road, they reached out to Hannigan who had represented them in their previous lease renewal at this address. Triton then appointed Choyce Peterson as their exclusive representative based in part on their favorable past experience, tenant representation expertise and distinctive knowledge of the area market. Hannigan and O'Connell met with the Triton team to understand their needs and the estimated office size they wanted to establish for their largest global office.

Regional Managing Principal Julia Lindh of MKDA Architects also joined the team to optimize the new space design and layout to bring Triton's vision of their future workspace to fruition. She had previously designed the existing Triton space at 100 Manhattanville Road. After a series of meetings with Triton executives, she calculated the square footage required for a new space and created concept plans for a collaborative, modern office. Attorney Dale Lois of Levine & Levine, PLLC advised Triton on the legal aspects of the transaction. Glenn Walsh, Executive Managing Director of Newmark, represented the landlord, RPW Group, in this transaction. RPW Group purchased 100 Manhattanville Road in October 2019.

Hannigan commented, "It was an honor to once again work with the Triton team on this exciting project. After a comprehensive search and consideration of various other prospective locations, Triton chose to relocate within 100 Manhattanville Road and create a brand-new workspace designed and built exactly to their needs."

"We are very pleased to have worked with John and Charlene on this project. With their support, we were able to negotiate favorable lease terms customized to our specific needs. We look forward to creating a new office space that perfectly captures our culture and vision for a more collaborative work environment. Their professional guidance was key to providing us with the best results for our needs," said Chelsea Hogan, SVP, Chief Human Resources Officer for Triton.

* New printing equipment and capabilities - After purchased a new, leading-edge, four-color printing system to maximize print efficiency, expand our capabilities, and minimize downtime. The system, with its duplex printing and automated splicing and folding, greatly reduces waste from paper roll changes and the need to scrap pre-branded client templates. The system is in place, and training is nearly complete.

2023 Initiatives:

* In-house mail production - Prior to the Accentf(x) acquisition, After outsourced its mail printing. With the acquisition and expanded print capacity, After will move all its mail production in-house for its current and future marketing clients.

* ECO mail stock - After will implement Forest Stewardship Guidelines (FSG) that require all mail pieces to be printed on ECO mail stock.

* Post-consumer waste (PCW) paper - After will source paper that is 10-15% PCW or recycled pulp fiber.

"Our commitment to sustainability is a top strategic priority," says Nate Baldwin, CEO of After, Inc. "While we believe that direct mail is a crucial component to any successful Warranty Marketing strategy, we are also dedicated to supporting a sustainable planet. By bringing all printing capabilities in-house, investing in top-of-the-line printing equipment, and incorporating sustainable sourcing, we can confidently assure our clients and their customers that the highest eco-friendly standards are being met."

With QuickCover® now available on all four e-commerce marketplaces, it is poised to power over 2/3 of all e-commerce protection plan sales. According to Oberlo, current U.S. market share percentages for the four emarketplaces as of May 2022 are: Shopify (32%), Woo Commerce (23%), Adobe Commerce (9%), and Big Commerce (3%).

"After has been a best-in-class warranty services company for over 15 years, helping global manufacturers optimize their businesses after the point of sale," said Nate Baldwin, CEO of After, Inc. "QuickCover - and the whole QuickSuite - didn't happen overnight. We saw a shift in the market several years ago, with many of our manufacturing and retail clients moving significant percentages of their product sales online. They needed a solution to offer their own branded protection plans across all of their e-commerce channels.

"What's great about QuickCover is that OEMs and Third-Party Administrators can white label the technology to drive more online protection plan sales. We partner with them to launch their own branded plug-in on Shopify, Woo, BIG and/or Adobe Commerce. They can use it on their own website and provide the extension to online dealers and distributors, allowing them to maintain control over the entire post-sale customer experience."

Gray Brothers Wildlife LLC Releases Bat Guide Providing Connecticut Homeowners with Knowledge to Identify Possible Bat Infestations

NORWALK, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Gray Brothers Wildlife LLC announced today they released a guide on their website that will help homeowners identify any signs of bat problems or infestations within a home. The guide is called: "How Do I Know If I Have Bats in My Home? 9 Signs You Might Have a Bat Problem."

"Bats are very quiet compared to most pests that can enter your home and because they are more likely to be active in the evening hours, you will have to go through our list to confirm any suspicions if you are sharing your home with bats," says Eric Gray, Owner, Gray Brothers Wildlife LLC.

Gray adds, "There are nine bat species native to Connecticut, including brown bats, the eastern red, silver-haired, and hoary bats. Bats in Connecticut tend to nest in trees but will often end up in sheds, gutters and attics."

Your Hearing Sounds from Your Attic and Walls

Mice and raccoons typically make a lot of noise inside walls and attics, but you can also hear when a bat is flying around inside. Bats that are stuck in an attic or wall can fly around at all hours of the day and night, even though they are nocturnal. Bats stuck in small spaces can make the noises sound louder. If bats happen to live in your attic, you may hear scratching along the walls as they move throughout the space.

It's important to listen for any noises from your attic, this could indicate a bat infestation or another wildlife problem.

Entry Points

Bats use the same one or two entry points to access your attic and this will most likely be found along near your roof. Wall vents, gable vents or loose eaves or siding can be entry points as well. Most of the time you will be able to see it from the exterior of your home. Bats tend to leave a greasy film close to the access point, especially on a lighter color siding.

Droppings

Bats that reside in an attic will often relieve themselves as they squeeze through the opening, this will look dark, spotted, oily or streaky. Look along your eaves and siding to any potential opening when walking around your home.

Visual confirmation

Bats are active in the evening and at night, the best time to confirm the presence of bats in your home is to see them leaving. If you notice an entry point or droppings, wait outside in the evening, and keep an eye out in that area. If you have a bat issue you will most likely see them entering and exiting at this time.

Feeding Roosts

Bats can have several roosts, which they typically use for sleeping and eating. These roosts can often be close together, especially in an attic. Feeding roosts are the easiest to spot as there will be droppings under these roosts as the bats will digest their meals.

Mating

Bat mating season starts in the summer and continues into the fall. This is the most active time of year for bats as they will become more active and fly together or in groups. During mating season, it is also possible to see bats out during the daytime.

Scratch Marks

Bats will leave scratch marks on the surfaces they perch to, which will become noticeable, especially on wood surfaces or drywall. This could also indicate another problem with mice or wildlife, it is important to have a professional check out if you find scratch marks.

Brown Stains on Your Ceiling

If you have many bats in your attic or they have resided for a long time, it is possible that bat urine and excrement can leak into the sheetrock, and you will start seeing brown stains on your ceiling that are similar to a water leak.

Strong Smell in Your Attic

If you are in your attic and notice a very strong ammonia smell, this could be caused by a buildup of bat urine and lack of ventilation. Even if the ammonia smell is subtle, it could indicate that a bat or other animal is urinating in your attic.

If You Have Found Bats in The Attic

Now that you have figured out what signs to look for, you know if you might have bats living in your home. If you do, you are probably wondering how you can get rid of them safely. Gray Brothers can inspect the area and determine if they can remove the animal. Some bat species are protected by the law in Connecticut, they cannot be killed if they are found in your home. Gray Brothers Wildlife are the bat professionals in Connecticut and will quickly and humanely remove any bats found in your home.

In addition, Promontory MortgagePath facilitates secondary market investor relationships to support clients' mortgage origination activities.

"Providing our member banks with technology and solutions that will help them increase access to financial services in minority communities is essential to our work," said Nicole Elam, president and CEO, NBA. "We are pleased to have successfully vetted Promontory MortgagePath, which will offer member MDIs shared access to a mortgage fulfillment solution necessary to making homeownership a possibility in communities aspiring to build generational wealth."

Founded by former U.S. Comptroller of Currency Gene Ludwig, Promontory MortgagePath began with a mission of empowering community banks to participate profitably in mortgage lending. Promontory MortgagePath's community development and minority-owned bank initiative is focused on increasing access to homeownership in underserved communities. Via the initiative, Promontory MortgagePath provides competitive pricing models, access to its user-friendly technology, dedicated U.S.-based teams of mortgage experts and robust strategies to help clients drive origination growth, with the overall goal of helping build long-term wealth in communities through increased homeownership.

"Minority depository institutions are critical conduits for financial services in the communities they serve," said Ludwig, founder and CEO of Promontory MortgagePath. "We are proud to have the endorsement of the National Bankers Association, which for nearly 100 years has supported these important institutions. Promontory MortgagePath is committed to working with the NBA to increase access to homeownership, which is central to wealth building in these communities and the American Dream."

The National Bankers Association joins the Community Development Bankers Association (CDBA) and American Bankers Association (ABA), as well as a growing list of state banking associations, in endorsing Promontory MortgagePath's services and technology.

New Jersey Bankers Association endorses Promontory MortgagePath’s mortgage fulfillment services and POS technology

DANBURY, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Promontory MortgagePath LLC, a leading provider of comprehensive digital mortgage and fulfillment solutions, announced today the New Jersey Bankers Association (NJBankers) has officially endorsed its mortgage fulfillment services and proprietary point-of-sale technology Borrower Wallet®.

As an endorsed service provider, NJBankers recognizes Promontory MortgagePath's mortgage technology and end-to-end fulfillment services as a solution to help banks maintain profitability and enter or reenter the mortgage business. Promontory MortgagePath's solutions reduce mortgage origination expenses and infrastructure while enabling community banks to retain a full product suite. Through this technology, community banks can shift from fixed mortgage-operation costs to a variable cost model, providing the ability to maintain staffing and reduce impact from market cyclicality.

"We're excited to bring on Promontory MortgagePath as an Endorsed Provider," said John E. McWeeney, Jr., President and CEO of NJBankers. "Its product and service offerings will provide value and operational efficiencies to our member banks."

Residential lending provides banks an opportunity to increase revenue and create opportunities for core deposits and customer cross-selling. Promontory MortgagePath is committed to empowering banks to participate profitably in mortgage lending by offering mortgage technology and end-to-end fulfillment services - boosting community banks' ability to build franchise value and expand relationships with their customers while establishing mortgage businesses that can withstand market conditions. Despite Promontory MortgagePath's comprehensive model, providing both the technology - including a POS and LOS - and back-office operational support, such as processors, underwriters and closers, all loans are issued in the bank's name. Banks retain control over the product mix and pricing, ensuring mortgage operations remain in line with the bank's overall risk appetite and growth plans.

"Our mission is to strengthen the community bank franchise model with a mortgage platform that enables them to expand their customer base and increase profits," said Paul Katz, managing director and head of bank relations at Promontory MortgagePath.

After, Inc. Announces Its New Corporate Rebranding to Focus on Customer Experience Technology

NORWALK, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- After, Inc. today announced the launch of its corporate rebranding effort, including a complete website redesign to reflect the company's evolution to Customer Experience Technology. Since 2005, After Inc. has been providing best-in-class post-sale services to the world's largest manufacturers and retailers.

In 2021, After, Inc. launched its QuickSuite platform, a modular set of SaaS technologies to help manufacturers, retailers, and e-commerce sellers build deeper relationships with their customers, increase loyalty, and drive higher lifetime value. The suite covers the entire post-sale lifecycle, and includes: QuickReg®, QuickCover®, QuickClaim®, QuickInsight®, and QuickRenew®.

"2021 was a turning point for After, Inc.," says Nate Baldwin, After, Inc.'s CEO. "We launched our QuickSuite, brought on new SaaS Product, Marketing and Sales teams, and evolved our focus from a post-sale services company to a customer experience technology company. The cost of poor customer experience is going up. That's why our QuickSuite technology is so relevant. It allows retailers and manufacturers to provide differentiated and personalized experiences at each stage of the post-sale lifecycle - from registration to product protection, claims management to personalized offers - driving higher engagement, loyalty and lifetime value."

Along with the corporate rebranding, After, Inc. shares a new vision, mission and set of core values. "Our vision is pretty bold," says Dawn Taylor, After, Inc.'s Chief Revenue Officer. "We want to be the global leader in post-sale customer experience technology. But what people don't realize is that After has been providing post-sale technology and services to the world's largest manufacturers for over a decade. Now with our QuickSuite, merchants, manufacturers and TPAs of any size can download our user-friendly SaaS platforms and be up and running in minutes, not months. Given the explosion of ecommerce the past two years, the market has grown, along with a stronger need for competitive differentiation. We are excited about this next phase in our company's growth trajectory."
