ROI Impact
Automated equipment warranty tracking monitors all facility equipment warranties, sends expiration alerts at 90, 60, and 30-day intervals, maintains digital documentation, and ensures facilities managers never miss coverage deadlines. This reduces emergency replacement costs by up to 40% and maximizes manufacturer protection.
How This Automation Works
Equipment Purchase Recorded → Warranty Alert Sent
Equipment Purchase Capture
When new equipment is purchased, the system automatically extracts warranty information from purchase orders, invoices, or warranty certificates. Equipment details including model, serial number, location, and purchase date are recorded in the central database.
Warranty Data Extraction
The system identifies and captures warranty start date, duration, coverage type (parts, labor, comprehensive), manufacturer information, claim procedures, and any maintenance requirements that must be met to maintain coverage validity.
Documentation Storage
All warranty certificates, purchase receipts, manufacturer manuals, and related documents are automatically stored in a digital repository linked to the specific equipment record, ensuring easy access and complete documentation.
Alert Schedule Creation
The system calculates warranty expiration date and automatically schedules notification alerts at 90 days, 60 days, and 30 days before expiration, with customizable intervals based on equipment criticality and organizational preferences.
Proactive Notifications
At each scheduled interval, automated alerts are sent to facilities managers and relevant stakeholders containing complete warranty details, equipment information, coverage history, and recommended actions to take before expiration.
Coverage Monitoring
The system continuously monitors all active warranties, tracks claim submissions, verifies maintenance compliance, and maintains current status for every piece of equipment across all facility locations in real-time.
Reporting and Analytics
Automated reports provide visibility into upcoming expirations, warranty utilization rates, claim history, coverage gaps, and cost savings achieved, enabling data-driven decisions about renewals, replacements, and extended coverage purchases.
How It Works
Equipment warranty tracking is a critical but often overlooked aspect of facilities management that directly impacts operational costs and asset longevity. Manual tracking through spreadsheets or paper files leads to missed expiration dates, unnecessary equipment replacements, and lost opportunities for warranty claims. This automated system monitors all equipment warranties across your facilities, sends proactive alerts before expiration, maintains digital documentation, and ensures you maximize the value of manufacturer coverage. By centralizing warranty information and automating renewal notifications, facilities teams can reduce emergency replacement costs by up to 40% and ensure every piece of equipment receives the protection it deserves. The system integrates with your asset management database, purchase records, and maintenance schedules to create a comprehensive warranty management solution that protects your capital investments.
The Trigger
When new equipment is purchased and added to the asset management system, or when warranty documentation is uploaded, the automation immediately captures warranty details including coverage period, terms, manufacturer contact information, and required maintenance conditions.
The Action
The system automatically schedules expiration alerts at 90, 60, and 30 days before warranty end dates, sends notifications to facilities managers with complete warranty details, and maintains a searchable database of all active and expired warranties with associated documentation.
Common Use Cases in Facilities

Results You Can Expect
Eliminate Missed Expirations
Never miss a warranty expiration with automated alerts sent at multiple intervals before coverage ends. Proactive notifications ensure facilities teams have adequate time to evaluate options, contact manufacturers for renewal quotes, or plan equipment replacements, eliminating costly surprise expenses.
Reduce Replacement Costs
Maximize warranty value by ensuring all covered repairs are claimed before expiration. Timely awareness of coverage enables teams to address equipment issues while still under warranty rather than paying out-of-pocket, significantly reducing unplanned maintenance and replacement expenses.
Save Administrative Time
Eliminate manual tracking through spreadsheets, calendar reminders, and file cabinets. Automated monitoring, documentation storage, and alert generation free facilities managers to focus on strategic planning rather than administrative warranty tracking tasks.
Centralize Documentation
Maintain all warranty certificates, terms, conditions, and manufacturer contacts in one searchable digital repository. Instant access to complete warranty information supports faster claim submissions, better vendor negotiations, and streamlined audit processes.
Improve Budget Planning
Comprehensive visibility into upcoming warranty expirations enables accurate forecasting of replacement and renewal costs. Facilities teams can budget appropriately, negotiate better terms through advance planning, and avoid emergency procurement at premium prices.
Maintain Compliance
Automated record-keeping ensures warranty compliance requirements are met, including required maintenance schedules and proper claim procedures. Digital audit trails demonstrate responsible asset management and support regulatory compliance and financial reporting accuracy.
