Seamless Warranty Integration at Point of Sale
Creating a new sales order in AltheaSuite is straightforward. As soon as you select a customer and delivery mode, you can add the item being purchased. For example, when selling a dishwasher, the system immediately prompts you to select an extended warranty from predefined options—such as a 3-year or 5-year plan, each potentially at different price points.
- Retailer Benefit: This built-in prompt ensures staff never forget to offer a warranty, helping to increase upsells and customer protection in one step.
Transparent Customer Communication
If a customer declines the warranty, AltheaSuite clearly logs that choice as a separate line item in the sales order. This transparency allows customers to see that they were offered a warranty and chose not to accept it—a helpful detail that protects your business from future misunderstandings.
- Retailer Benefit: Clearly documenting warranty decisions builds credibility and trust while protecting against disputes.
Smart Visual Cues & Contextual Prompts
In cases where the warranty is not specified, AltheaSuite automatically highlights the product line with a yellow tint. This visual cue indicates that action is needed. With just a right-click on the context menu, the system reopens the warranty options so you can apply one instantly.
- Retailer Benefit: These subtle but effective interface cues reduce human error and make sure nothing important is overlooked.
Post-Sale Warranty Application: No Opportunity Missed
What if the customer initially declines a warranty but later changes their mind? AltheaSuite handles that scenario with ease.
Retailers can create a new invoice specifically for the warranty, select the correct SKU (e.g., “Epic Major Appliances – 3 Year Warranty”), and apply it retroactively to the original product purchase. The system automatically links the warranty to the correct model—no need to re-enter product details.
- Retailer Benefit: You never lose the opportunity to sell value-added services, even after the initial transaction is complete.
Warranty Manager: Organized and Traceable
Once a warranty is applied—whether during the sale or after—it’s fully trackable through AltheaSuite’s Warranty Manager. Retailers can view all active warranties, sorted by start date, and see exact expiration dates tied to invoice and delivery dates.
- Retailer Benefit: Centralized warranty tracking means faster customer service, fewer errors, and easier warranty claims.
