Why do appliance retailers use CPS warranty automation with their POS system?

Many appliance retailers automate warranty sales with their POS system to increase attachment rates, reduce manual errors, and streamline protection plan administration. CPS automation allows warranties to be added at the point of sale, whether that’s through a direct POS integration, dealer portal, or batch upload. This approach saves time for staff, ensures every sale has a warranty opportunity, and provides better tracking of warranty revenue. Retailers find that automation improves consistency, helps managers monitor performance, and ultimately leads to significant profit growth without adding complexity to their daily operations.

• Maximizes profit per sale – Automation ensures every eligible transaction includes a warranty offer, increasing revenue opportunities.
• Reduces manual work – Automated workflows eliminate the need for manual entry and paperwork, saving staff time and reducing errors.
• Improves attachment rates – Consistent, automated presentation of protection plans leads to higher warranty penetration, as seen in CPS dealer benchmarks.
• Flexible implementation – CPS supports multiple automation levels (POS integration, portal, batch upload, API) to match retailer needs and scale with growth.
• Real-time tracking and reporting – Retailers gain instant visibility into warranty sales, attachment rates, and performance.
• Streamlines customer experience – Warranties are presented at the right time in the sales process, creating a smoother checkout for customers.

How do appliance retailers typically implement CPS warranty automation in their POS systems?

Many appliance retailers start by adding CPS warranty automation to their existing POS workflow, often beginning with manual portal entry or batch uploads before moving to full integration. In practice, stores that consistently present protection plans at checkout see higher attachment rates and smoother operations. Some dealers choose to automate across all locations for uniform performance tracking, while others scale up as sales volume grows. According to CPS retailer data, automation not only increases revenue but also simplifies staff training and reduces overlooked warranty opportunities.

Workflow Steps

What is included and excluded in CPS warranty coverage?

Consumer Priority Service warranty automation covers eligible mechanical and electrical failures for appliances after the manufacturer warranty period. Coverage is designed to protect critical parts and functions, but not every issue that may arise during ownership. Here’s what is and isn’t typically covered:

What Does CPS Cover?

• Mechanical and electrical failures after the manufacturer warranty ends
• Parts and labor for covered repairs
• Service coordination, including technician assignment and scheduling
• Product replacement or reimbursement if repair is not economical
• Coverage for new, open-box, scratch & dent, and qualifying used appliances (depending on program)

What Is Not Covered by CPS?

• Cosmetic damage (scratches, dents, rust, appearance-only issues)
• Non-functional parts (handles, knobs, shelves, decorative trim)
• Consumable items (filters, bulbs, batteries, belts, gaskets)
• Accidental damage, misuse, or abuse
• Environmental damage (water, flood, fire, storms, power surges)
• Failures caused by improper installation or lack of required maintenance

How does the CPS claims process work for automated warranty sales?

When a customer experiences a covered appliance failure, they can file a claim directly with Consumer Priority Service by phone, web, portal, text, or chat. The process is designed to be straightforward and accessible for both the customer and the retailer.

CPS reviews the claim, verifies coverage, and coordinates service with either the retailer (if they provide service) or a qualified technician from CPS’s network. This approach keeps the retailer involved when desired, but reduces administrative work since CPS manages claim intake, scheduling, and resolution.

How can customers, dealers, and service centers contact CPS for support?

Consumer Priority Service is easy to reach through multiple support channels for claims, order management, and general assistance. Whether you’re a customer, dealer, or service center, help is always available.
