Warranty Management
There is nothing more frustrating than paying for expensive items from a vendor only to have them fail prior to the anticipated and agreed upon lifecycle. Many organizations struggle with part-swapping and creating additional redundancies in their physical plants as a result of poor vendor reliability. In order to recoup funds and/or gratis replacement of failed assets, GG-AS works with clients to implement warranty management programs.
Our warranty solutions are designed to meet the specific requirements of both the manufacturers and the dealers in order to achieve a service standard which gives the brand a competitive advantage.
