→Savings. The program will save up to 25% off current service contract pricing with the quality and coverages of your existing service.
→One Agreement. Remi can consolidate multiple contracts into one comprehensive agreement, with the flexibility to customize your coverage while Remi manages all service events.
→Vendor of Choice. Employees of (University/College Name) may utilize their vendor of choice for service on their covered equipment. However, there are some cases where Remi will need to rely on its extensive vendor network to ensure they are dispatching the right vendor for the service being requested—either the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or an ISO to repair their equipment.
→Focus on Education and Research. Remi will handle all the service requests, purchase orders, claims, etc. so our educators and researchers can reinvest their time and money saved on what they do best.
