Warranty Repair Solutions
Tracking and
returning a part replaced under
warranty means running the risk
of a rejected return materials
authorization (RMA) or of losing
the part in the field. And while
your customers end up satisfied,
you stay on the hook for the
part until you can secure
reimbursement. Even if
everything goes right, the
management of damaged and
defective parts can consume
valuable labor hours and
resources, driving up your
costs.
Compsee's
Work Order Management
application, along with your
technician's mobile computer and
printer, automates the warranty
return process at your
customer's door, speeding
returns and eliminating
overhead. By including an RMA
survey for every manufacturer
you submit materials to, your
technicians can collect all the
pertinent information on the
survey, and even request an RMA
number via wireless
communications. If the original
equipment includes bar coded
serial numbers, more errors can
be eliminated by reading the
tags and eliminating keystrokes.
The technician can then print an
RMA report on-site to leave with
the customer, or attach it to
the equipment.
If your
technicians are responsible for
returns, parts can be tracked as
truck stock until they are
off-loaded at the depot or
shipping center. Because
information about the replaced
part can be time and date
stamped during the repair, you
can create a history for the
part that ensures its movement
through your operation. You can
also create a report to put in
the box with the part that shows
all required information -
original equipment serial
number, manufacturer, date of
purchase, date of repair, cost
of replacement part, etc. - and
that documentation can travel
with the part. If the part
becomes lost or abandoned along
the way the paperwork routes it
in the right direction, helping
you recover your costs.
