Tech Data and MendIT join forces on repairs

Distie to offer its resellers repair, insurance and warranty products

Tech Data has teamed up with repair and warranty specialist MendIT in a move it claims will help its partners offer customers a "cost-effective" way to protect their IT investments.

MendIT specialises in extended warranties, insurance and repairs and has customers across the UK. Its products – which include protection against physical damage caused by liquids, fire and floods – will be available to Tech Data resellers with immediate effect.

The duo claims MendIT's kit will provide a "professional and cost-effective" solution to customers on devices such as tablets, laptops, smartphones and desktops.

David Watts, commercial director at Tech Data, said the agreement proves the distie's commitment to resellers.

"This agreement with MendIT adds further value to our services portfolio and gives our partners an additional way to drive incremental margin," he said. "We have received a tremendously positive response to our approach from resellers and retailers who are looking to offer a complete package of services for their business customers."

Steve Ackers, MendIT's managing director, added: "With our fully trained and accredited engineers, we can meet all the needs of resellers and dealers and their customers on a wide selection of tablets, laptops, desktops and smartphones. We undertake every repair with the greatest of care, efficiency and quality, so they can always be sure that we will deliver the very best service on their behalf."
