A dependable way to **manage warranty claims after a project ends** is to give clients one channel to report problems, check each claim against the warranty period and scope, assign it to the responsible trade and track it until the repair is completed and accepted.

In **Jestor**, warranty claims are linked to the original project, so the team knows what was installed, by whom and when.

## Why do warranty claims become a burden?

Months after handover, clients call about cracks, leaks or faulty installations. The project team has moved on.

Nobody knows which subcontractor did the work, whether the warranty still applies or what was promised.

Slow responses damage the company's reputation.

## What problems does warranty tracking solve?

- Claims arriving through scattered channels
- Unknown warranty periods and scopes
- Subcontractors not held responsible
- Slow responses to clients
- No data on recurring defects

## How do I manage warranty claims in Jestor?

1. **Create a claim form** for clients with project, problem, location and photos.
2. **Link the claim** to the project and the trade responsible.
3. **Check warranty status** using the handover date and warranty period.
4. **Define phases**: Received, Assessed, Scheduled, Repaired, Accepted.
5. **Inform the client** through **WhatsApp** at each step.

| Phase     | Owner             |
| --------- | ----------------- |
| Received  | Customer service  |
| Assessed  | Technical team    |
| Scheduled | Operations        |
| Repaired  | Responsible trade |
| Accepted  | Client            |

## How do warranty claims improve future projects?

Grouping claims by defect type, trade and project shows where quality problems start.

The company can adjust specifications, suppliers or inspections for future work.

## Why use Jestor for warranty claims?

- **Linked to the project**: trades and dates available instantly.
- **Warranty checks**: formulas show if the claim is in period.
- **Client communication**: WhatsApp messages recorded.
- **Defect analysis**: dashboards by type and trade.

Fast, organized responses protect the brand. Clients who see their claim handled professionally are more likely to recommend the company again.

Responsibility with subcontractors should be clear. Recording which trade performed each installation, and the warranty terms agreed with them, allows the company to request the repair from the right partner without long discussions.

This is how you manage warranty claims after a project ends with accountability.
