Not Just Discounts, Peace of Mind
By: Michael Stein | Farm Bureau
“Protecting the people of Michigan from the risks of everyday life” is the Mike Stein Insurance Agency’s mission statement and here is how they deliver.
Karl Kurz is a third-generation owner of one of Detroit’s iconic restaurants, the Dakota Inn Rathskeller, and a client of Mike Stein. Mike arranged for Farm Bureau Insurance to visit Karl’s establishment after Karl expressed a concern with freezing pipes in a particular section of the building, Mike was able to install complimentary IoT smart sensors to monitor temperature and water flow. The ability to monitor the temperature of those pipes was added, still at no cost. “As a new client of Farm Bureau, I am impressed with the proactive approach they take toward loss control” stated Karl. “I make it my morning routine to view the sensor app on my smart phone to check the temperatures of my kitchen refrigeration, walk-in cooler and freezers. This gives me great piece of mind knowing that in the event of an equipment failure, the immediate notification could potentially save me hundreds of dollars in product spoilage. I can't thank them enough for being one step ahead of the game, this is terrific customer service.”
IoT smart monitoring technology is rewarding for Mike’s team as well. According to Steven Traub, Farm Bureau Insurance’s Manager of Loss Control, “Clients wonder if this no-cost opportunity is too good to be true, but we’re excited to provide the sensors because preventing problems is a win-win partnership for us and our clients. The first system we installed alerted the owner the next evening of an issue with their walk-in refrigerator, saving them $800 in product storage and confirming we were onto something right from the start.”
