Warranteer turns the warranteer eco-system into a win-win relationship between consumers and brands. Avishay Pariz, CEO and co-founder of Warranteer says "It is an end to end solution to connect brand, manufacturers to end customers. When a customer buys a new product so instead of filling warranty card, keep the invoice etc, he simply needs to scan the barcode of the product from his phone and that's it. We will send this information to the brand, so both the users and the brand owners have the information".
The brand creates direct communication channel to the end user, which allows the brand to reduce service centers time and costs from handling warranty claims.
Unlike the US where the consumer is protected by an over-reaching Magnusson Moss Warranty Act and E-Warranty Act, the Indian consumers need a comprehensive arrangement to protect their consumer rights. (SH)
