Teleplan International : further expanding into the Smart Home Segment with Vivint

Amsterdam (The Netherlands)/Dallas (U.S.) 11 September 2017. Teleplan, a leading lifecycle care solutions provider for technology products, today announces that it has been awarded the after-market service support of several product lines by Vivint Smart Home, the leading smart home service provider in North America. Vivint, whose goal is to simplify the life of its customers, has recently embarked on a reverse logistics network consolidation strategy to simplify the support of its products. Teleplan's proven expertise, capabilities and reliability were key criteria for Vivint's decision.

Teleplan's innovative approach to test and analyse returned IoT products such as smart thermostats and connected doorbell cameras was another important factor. 'We are thrilled that our innovative testing capabilities paired with our 34 years of experience in reverse logistics will drive our expansion strategy further into the connected home segment which offers tremendous potential' commented François Lacombe, CEO at Teleplan, on the latest addition to its customer portfolio.

'Our smart home ecosystem is growing rapidly and so is our installed base. Together with rising consumer expectations, it is paramount we guarantee a great experience whenever our customers need support, or decide to move or upgrade. Teleplan will help us to deliver on this promise,' added Marco Mai, Senior Director Reverse Logistics and Supply Chain at Vivint Smart Home.
