Our Heritage
In the late 1970's, "extended warranties" were a hot item and becoming more popular by the day. During this time a small 3-store retail chain in the metropolitan Detroit area was looking to expand and realized the importance of offering warranties to their major appliance and electronics customers.

The retailer was facing fierce competition from some of the "big players" at the time (Sears, Wards, etc.) and their founding business principles were outsourcing non-core services and contingency-based compensation (commissions) for their sales staff.

Realizing that extended warranties didn't fit in the retailer's business model, the now president of Advanced Customer Services approached the retailer and made an agreement to manage the warranty process after the initial customer purchase.

Also during this period, toll-free 800 numbers were growing in popularity, so the outsourced warranty concept was a perfect "win-win" for the retailer and the founding president of ACS.

Therefore, in 1982 Advanced Customer Services was founded to manage inbound customer service calls and Advanced Telephone Promotions was formed for outbound marketing programs and related activities.

The fact that the same retailer is still our largest customer, and that their business has grown ten-fold in the last 22 years and us with them, is a tribute to the emphasis and value ACS places on customer satisfaction.

Over these years, our service levels have increased dramatically for the retailer's warranty program and today ACS acts as an independent third party administrator for the retailer, becoming responsible for all the processing of customer requests for service - quite a large undertaking considering that same retailer now has over 50 stores in three states!

The retailer, using certain guidelines and business rules we mutually developed, has entrusted ACS management to make all critical decisions regarding warranty service claims and full product replacement. That truly defines the spirit and meaning of a mutually rewarding business relationship.
