Agora Data announced a strategic partnership with GWC Warranty on Tuesday to give dealers streamlined access to vehicle service contracts (VSC) and guaranteed asset protection (GAP) without adding complexity to the funding process.

Through the partnership, Agora dealers can offer eligible customers VSC and GAP products through the AgoraCapital platform. The integrated offerings are designed to help dealers optimize every sale, protect backend profitability, and improve the buying and vehicle ownership experience for consumers.

The integration is expected to be available to dealers during the third quarter, according to a news release.

The companies pointed out VSC and GAP coverage remain important tools for dealers to generate revenue and boost customer satisfaction.

Agora Data and GWC Warranty explained that their collaboration can enable dealers to offer products that help consumers manage unexpected repair costs and address potential account balance deficiencies if a vehicle is totaled or stolen, while maintaining clean deal structures and predictable funding outcomes.

“Dealers want to sell backend products that drive customer satisfaction and ensure loan performance,” said Jeremy Beck, executive vice president of revenue operations and head of sales at Agora.

“This partnership with GWC Warranty supports that objective by aligning trusted protection products with how dealers operate in the real world: efficiently, transparently, and with a focus on long-term performance and customer confidence,” added Beck, who spent nearly six years in a sales executive position with APCO Holdings, which includes GWC Warranty.

GWC vehicle protection solutions are designed to enhance consumer confidence with day 1, mile one coverage, the freedom to travel worry-free with the flexibility to choose any licensed repair facility, and the assurance that GWC’s products carry with the MotorTrend Recommended Best Buy designation for independent dealers.

Combined with Agora’s data-driven platform, the companies said the partnership aims to reduce friction across the car-buying lifecycle while supporting stronger outcomes for both dealers and drivers.

“VSC and GAP products play an important role in helping consumers stay on the road and protect their investment,” said James Virgoe, senior vice president and managing partner, GWC Warranty.

“Working with Agora Data allows us to support dealers with vehicle protection solutions that are easy to explain and cover a wide range of vehicle types and buyer needs,” Virgoe went on to say.
