Columbus, OH – November 4, 2025 – TecAssured, a leading provider of lifecycle management software for service contracts, warranties, and aftermarket products, today announced a strategic investment from Allied Solutions, one of the nation’s largest providers of insurance, lending, and marketing solutions to financial institutions.
The partnership marks a major step forward in expanding TecAssured’s reach across the automotive, RV, and powersports industries while accelerating the development of next-generation digital solutions for administrators, agents, and lenders.
Technology Built for Scale and Control
TecAssured’s Admin Software Suite gives product providers and dealer networks the ability to own and operate a fully customized administration system designed for scale, flexibility, and cost efficiency.
The platform features a comprehensive Sales Portal that enables digital contracting, dealer management, and streamlined sales operations. Powerful reporting and analytics tools deliver real-time visibility into performance metrics such as sales, commissions, loss ratios, and claims—helping providers make faster, data-driven business decisions.
With integrations to more than 200 technology partners, including PEN, F&I Express, and StoneEagle, TecAssured’s connected ecosystem simplifies operations and enhances collaboration across the product lifecycle.
Expanding Digital Distribution Channels
TecAssured’s complementary software platforms, Merge and Direct, extend its technology beyond the dealership environment:
• Merge allows credit unions and lenders to sell protection products directly at the point of loan, complete with integrated payment options, VIN/serial decoding, and loan origination system integrations.
• Direct provides a white-label, direct-to-consumer experience with customizable branding, credit card processing, 0% financing, and full eContracting capabilities.
Together, these systems connect administrators, lenders, and consumers in a cohesive digital platform.
A Partnership Driving Industry Advancement
“This partnership represents a pivotal step in TecAssured’s evolution,” said Joe Pesce, CEO of TecAssured. “With Allied’s investment and guidance, we can accelerate innovation, expand into new markets, and deliver more powerful, connected tools that help providers and agents operate efficiently and competitively.”
“Allied Solutions continues to seek innovative partners that help clients deliver exceptional experiences,” said Pete Hilger, CEO of Allied Solutions. “TecAssured’s technology perfectly aligns with our mission to bring scalable, technology-driven solutions to the financial services industry.”
“Together with TecAssured, we’re developing the next generation of product sales, administration, and consumer engagement technology,” said Doug Langhorn, President of Armour Group, an Allied company. “This collaboration will drive growth across the automotive, RV, and powersports markets in the U.S. and Canada.”
The partnership will also pursue collaborations with administrators and technology partners in the lending ecosystem, while advancing strategic initiatives in product strategy, go-to-market planning, and system integration across Allied’s national network of financial institutions and product providers.

The new end-to-end solution for F&I products for Credit Unions is based on the three stages of the consumer-vehicle journey:
1. Education prior to purchase, optimized for consumers with the right messaging and placement directly on the Credit Union’s website.
2. A digital shopping experience during in-store purchase or off-site deliveries.
3. AI-driven ownership lifecycle campaigns that deliver product options to consumers that were not purchased at the dealership.
“Consumers enter the dealership with questions and knowledge about the products they sell. This makes my job a lot easier because the customer actually wants to talk about protection products! If they don’t want to purchase the product today, they can think about it and purchase at a later date. No pressure and no additional work for me.” said Sellie Adwallah, Finance Manager, Elite Credit Union.
“With the majority of vehicle research happening online prior to reaching the dealership, it is a natural progression to add F&I education and information to our dealer-to-consumer sales technology. The ‘DIRECT’ software platform brings this to the table as a seamless extension to our platform,” explained Joe Pesce, CEO, TecAssured.
“We know Credit Unions, and we also know what today’s automotive shoppers are looking for. Today’s vehicle shoppers want transparency and the flexibility to purchase products anywhere, anytime. We give Credit Unions this power, and its automated. Layered on top of the TecAssured platform, a Credit Union will really see significant increases in product sales.” noted Sally Solomon, V.P. Sales, IMA Direct.

The burden of managing a manual warranty system became overwhelming for Michael Bernardo, Director of Marketing at Steingold Volvo. At the peak, he was dealing with up to 70 voice messages a day, each requiring a manual response and quote over the phone. This process was time-consuming, difficult to organize, and demanded a lot of mental labor from the Steingold team.
Michael had been on a years-long quest to find or create a system that could seamlessly manage his warranty process and alleviate this heavy burden. When he reached out to Product Exchange Network, they promptly redirected him, saying "I’m gonna stop you right there. You need to call TecAssured!"
After connecting with Joe, CEO at TecAssured, Michael was set up with TecAssured Direct and Merge. The onboarding process was smooth and efficient, marking the beginning of a significant transformation for Steingold Volvo. According to Michael, the impact was immediate and profound. "We have, without a doubt, doubled our business. And not only has it doubled our business, it’s freed up our personnel."
Today, Michael enjoys the freedom to focus on essential aspects of his business, free from the stress of managing dozens of calls each day. TecAssured has revolutionized Steingold Volvo's warranty system, ensuring everything is taken care of efficiently. Now, when someone calls for warranty information, Michael simply directs them to his portal at factoryproject.com. Customers can access pricing and any other necessary information on their own, receiving immediate answers to their inquiries.
By implementing TecAssured Direct and Merge, Steingold Volvo has not only streamlined its processes but also empowered significant business growth. Michael's experience highlights the transformative power of TecAssured solutions in enhancing operational efficiency and driving the success of our clients.
