Issue resolution

A flexible, collaborative, on-demand, full service issue resolution support which can cover the whole warranty chain.

Minimise warranty costs, prevent delays to production and reduce slippage

Each year, delays to product launches, stopping the production line or honouring warranties to fix issues for end customers, cost OEMs millions or billions. For European manufacturers, stopping the production line can cost £24,000-£45,000 per minute. Our offering is tailored to our customer's requirements from from on-demand drawdown for specific discrete tasks, through to full service/ownership of the whole warranty chain.
