Hardware Warranty Claim Management Service

Quick answer

What is Hardware Warranty Claim Management?

Hardware warranty claim management is the handling of a manufacturer warranty case from entitlement check to part or device return. Deploris verifies coverage by serial number, opens the case with the evidence the manufacturer requires, manages the part exchange or RMA, and keeps you updated, where the device is eligible.

WHAT THE WORK COVERS

What Hardware Warranty Claim Management includes.

01Entitlement lookup by serial number or service tag to confirm coverage type, end date and service level, such as depot, onsite or advance exchange

02Case creation with the manufacturer, using the diagnosis report, test results and photos the vendor needs to approve the claim

03Coordination of manufacturer on-site service, advance replacement parts or depot RMA, depending on the entitlement

04Return logistics for failed parts or devices: labels, packaging, tracking and confirmation that the return was received, to avoid non-return charges

05Follow-up on stalled cases, with the case number and notes logged so you can see what has been done

06Identification of claims that are likely excluded, such as accidental damage on a base warranty, so you can decide between paying for repair or escalating

HOW WE DELIVER IT

How it is delivered.

1
Check entitlement first
Before ordering anything, we confirm the device is covered, what the coverage includes and when it expires, so we do not buy a part the manufacturer would have supplied.
2
Diagnose and build the case
We run the manufacturer's required diagnostics, gather the evidence and open the case under your account details, with your authorization.
3
Run the replacement or return
Depending on the entitlement, the engineer fits an advance-exchange part, supports the manufacturer's own engineer or packs the unit for RMA, and we track the return.
4
Close and record
We confirm the claim outcome, file the case number and any credit or replacement details on the asset record, and report on claim status in the monthly view.

When this is the right deliverable.

Scenario 01

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions.

What does warranty claim management for hardware include?

It includes an entitlement check by serial number, opening the manufacturer case with diagnostic evidence, coordinating the part, engineer or RMA, tracking returns, and following up on stalled cases. It applies where the device is eligible. Deploris acts on your behalf with your authorization.

Will you handle warranty claims for every manufacturer?

We handle claims where the manufacturer allows a third party to act on your behalf and you have authorized us. Processes and terms differ by vendor, so the written scope lists which manufacturers and contracts are covered. Where a vendor requires you to open the case, we prepare the evidence for you.

What if the manufacturer declines the warranty claim?

We tell you the stated reason and the options open to you: appeal with more evidence, pay for a repair through us, or retire the device. Declines happen, often over accidental damage or lapsed coverage. Whether a claim is accepted is the manufacturer's decision, not ours.

Can you repair a device that is still in warranty without voiding it?

That depends on the manufacturer's terms and the type of coverage. Some warranties require the manufacturer or an authorized provider to do the work, so we check this before opening the device. Where required, we route the repair through the warranty process instead of doing it ourselves.
