Signal for warranties
Warranty Management Software
A warranty is money you already paid for — but only until its date passes. Signal tracks every warranty and reminds you while a claim, inspection, or extension is still possible.
Warranties expire two weeks before you need them
It's a law of equipment ownership: the compressor fails fifteen days after the warranty ends, and the repair that would have been free costs four figures. The pattern isn't bad luck — it's that failures cluster as equipment ages toward and past its coverage window, while the paperwork needed to claim (receipt, serial number, warranty terms) scattered to the wind the week after purchase. By the time something breaks, proving coverage is half the battle and the deadline for pre-expiry inspections has long passed.
For businesses the stakes multiply: fleets of laptops, kitchen equipment, HVAC units, vehicles, and machines, each with manufacturer warranties, extended warranties, and service plans on different clocks. The moment of leverage is the 30–60 days before each expiry — time to run a pre-expiry inspection, file borderline claims while they're still free, and decide deliberately whether the extension is worth buying. Nobody hits that window from memory.
Warranties teams track with Signal
-
Equipment and machinery warranties
HVAC, kitchen, production equipment — reminded 60 days before expiry so pre-expiry inspections and claims actually happen.
-
IT hardware coverage
Laptops, servers, network gear — warranty and support-plan dates per asset, with the serial number in the identifier field.
-
Vehicle and extended warranties
Manufacturer, powertrain, and extended coverage on different clocks per vehicle — each tracked as its own item with its own schedule.
How Signal handles it
- Reminder schedules. A 60/30-day schedule creates the claim window: inspect the equipment, file anything borderline, and price the extension before coverage ends.
- Identifiers and custom fields. Serial number, model, supplier, and purchase price on each item — the claim form fills itself from the reminder email.
- Companies. Group warranties by manufacturer or supplier, so when a vendor's product fails you can see every other unit still under their coverage.
- Renewal tracking. Bought the extended warranty? Renew the item with the new end date — the coverage history stays on the asset's record.
Frequently asked questions
Why remind before expiry rather than at it?
The value is in the window before the date: pre-expiry inspections, borderline claims filed while free, and a deliberate decision on extensions. Signal's 60/30-day offsets exist exactly for that window.
Can we track warranties for hundreds of assets?
Yes — CSV import takes a row per asset with dates and details, and folders keep asset classes organized. Plans scale by item count, and email reminders are unlimited on all of them.
Where do we record serial numbers and asset details?
On the item itself: serial numbers in the identifier field, and warranty terms, purchase dates, and anything else in custom fields. The asset's whole record in one place.
