Technology product companies use a channel distribution system to reach their products to the end consumers. This channel network usually undergoes regular changes, with new ones added, and existing ones removed. When a channel partner exits out of the network, then servicing warranty and repair claims of his customers becomes a major problem for the manufacturer, leading to customer dissatisfaction. Repair & Return can support such manufacturers acting as a single-window service provider.
Repair & Return would front-end as a facilitator for import and sale of the merchandise to the channel partners, who would further handle re-distribution to end customers. Irrespective of any change in the channel, Repair & Return would handle all warranty and service issues from the customer, by validating the claim and handle further processing on behalf of the manufacturer.
Repair & Return can provide these services on a service based billing model, rather than a product sale based billing model.
