How to Handle Warranty and After-Sales Requests
To handle warranty and after-sales, the request has to reference the original sale. Entitlement questions are unanswerable without knowing what was sold and when.
Why after-sales is slow
The information needed to decide sits in another system.
- Purchase date looked up manually
- Entitlement decided from memory or by asking
- No record of previous claims on the same item
- Customers repeating details already in your records
What the request should carry
- The original order, connected rather than typed
- Purchase date, so entitlement is calculable
- Previous claims, visible on the same client or item
- The issue described, in the customer's own words
- Resolution, with evidence and a stage history
How to set it up in Jestor
- Create an after-sales table in Jestor connected to orders and clients.
- Capture requests through a public form or from a WhatsApp conversation.
- Surface the order's date and items on the request card.
- Show previous claims from the same client or against the same item.
- Track resolution on a Kanban, with SLA timing per stage.
Why choose Jestor for after-sales operations?
Because Jestor is relational, the request card can show the original sale, the purchase date, and previous claims — which is everything needed to decide entitlement without a lookup.
Where the item involves stock movement, a replacement is recorded as a movement against the same product rather than adjusted manually.
