Efficiency Expected to Soar for MBPI Vehicle Service Contract Partners

July 8, 2013
1 min to read


Lee's Summit, Mo. - Mechanical Breakdown Protection Inc. (MBPI), an extended vehicle service contract provider for the automotive industry, enhanced its agents’ efficiency and profit potential with its new agent/dealer portal launch, called Protection Connection. Protection Connection brings agents 24/7 mobile, desktop, and tablet access to real-time analytical and client focused data for their dealerships.


Improved efficiency is expected for all participating MBPI agents due to the readily available dealership information regarding sales trends, contract activity, claims history and loss ratios for MBPI Preferred and Extra vehicle service contracts, GAP and DentGuard. Agents now have the ability to access real-time month to date and year-to-date data for all of their dealers from their mobile device, desktop or tablet 24/7. Analysis of monthly and yearly sales trends, claims and loss ratios are presented in clear numeric and graph formats, letting agents manage their accounts more efficiently and with greater impact.

Furthermore, rate card requests, supply requests, company news, marketing materials, training materials and the ability to leave feedback are all available directly through Protection Connection. As a result, time spent resolving issues and managing everyday responsibilities at current dealerships will be reduced. MBPI’s national sales manager, Barry Kindler, said, “The expectation is that the cutting edge Protection Connection model will allow agents to spend less time managing accounts and more time acquiring new accounts.”
