We are excited — and slightly nostalgic — to share a major milestone in our company’s journey. Bid Box Pro, a name that has been our identity since our inception, is evolving into something new, something more “us”: WarrantyHub.
Over the past year, as we met with customers and business partners and as our platform grew, we came to realize that the name of our company no longer relates to the services we provide, and to make matters worse, that name was a source of confusion. We decided it was time to find a new name that better fits what we currently do and who we are as a company.
Searching for our new name was less of a quest and more of a team adventure. We tossed around ideas, from the practical to the downright quirky (yep, even ‘Claim Taco’ made an appearance). It was all about the fun and camaraderie it brought to our team. We worked through the joys and frustrations of name-hunting, verified if each prospective name “rolled off the tongue,” if the domain was available, and a whole slew of other checks and tests. (Those of you who have worked through any similar business-naming process probably know all about the level of effort this search process can demand.)
And then, there it was: WarrantyHub. Clear, concise, and a perfect fit for our mission.
WarrantyHub reflects our commitment to being the central hub for all things warranty and claim management. Our core remains unchanged, but now we’re doing it with a name that captures the heart of our mission.
The Tale Behind The Transition
Now, let’s rewind a bit and spill the tea on why we’re making this change. Picture it as a story of growth, a dash of self-discovery, and a whole lot of enthusiasm for what lies ahead.
Let’s be real — Bid Box Pro left some folks scratching their heads. Sure, it had a nice ring to it, but did it mean we managed bids? Boxes? Pros? Mysteries are cool and all, but our name shouldn’t be one of them.
When we started as Bid Box Pro, our ambition was clear: to simplify the process of connecting real estate professionals with top-rated service providers. A real estate agent might have a property that needed work done, and they wanted a way to get the work done by a reputable craftsman in a reasonable timeframe and at a competitive cost. Our software at the time allowed professional contractors (“pros”) to place bids on these “boxes” of work – hence the name “Bid Box Pro.”
Our service offerings expanded over time, and just like a band that outgrows its garage roots (but still cherishes those early demos), we recognized the importance of aligning our name with our evolving product. No more puzzled looks or awkward pauses, no more need to explain our company’s backstory, just a simple and direct name that encompasses what we do now.
