Measure How Warranty Claims Are Processed and Identify Where to Reduce Cost and Cycle Time

Pyze measures how warranty claim intake, entitlement checks, repair and parts authorization, field service dispatch and supplier recovery are performed, and identifies where automation and AI agents apply.

Engagement archetypes from Pyze deployments across service and operations functions rather than a single named account.

Warranty and service operations process claims across several systems: the ERP holds the asset, bill of materials and cost, the service platform holds the case and work order, and dealer or partner portals hold the claim submission. Entitlement lookups, claim validation against policy, parts authorization and supplier recovery claims are assembled by people moving between these systems and spreadsheets, and that effort does not appear in any of them.

Common Findings in Warranty and Service

Four patterns that recur across engagements, each shown with the measurement and the resulting change.

Claims are reviewed against warranty terms by claims analysts, and the same entitlement checks are repeated across serial number, purchase date, coverage tier and prior claim history.

Automate
What the measurement shows

The entitlement check follows a consistent sequence of lookups across the ERP, the service platform and the dealer portal. Pyze measures the time and screen sequence for each check and identifies which claim types are resolved by the same steps every time.

What changes

Deterministic entitlement checks are completed from the record, and claims that need judgement reach the analyst with the coverage evidence already assembled.

Goodwill and out-of-warranty decisions are made by different approvers using different criteria.

Standardize
What the measurement shows

Pyze measures the information each approver consults before deciding and the time between request and decision. The variation in approach between approvers on the same claim type is visible for the first time.

What changes

A documented decision path is derived from the approvers whose decisions are consistent with policy, and the approval step is routed by claim type.

Supplier recovery claims are raised after the warranty claim is closed, and many eligible claims are not raised.

Agentify
What the measurement shows

Recovery claims are assembled manually from the part failure record, the supplier agreement and the repair cost. Pyze measures how much effort each recovery claim takes and where eligible claims are dropped between claim closure and supplier submission.

What changes

Recovery claims are drafted from the failure and repair record at claim closure, with the supporting evidence attached, and routed to the supplier quality team for submission.

Field service dispatchers reassign work orders by hand when technician availability, parts stock or appointment windows change.

Rebalance
What the measurement shows

Reassignment involves checking the schedule, the parts location and the customer commitment in separate tools. Pyze measures how often dispatch is reworked and how the load distributes across dispatchers.

What changes

Dispatch effort is leveled across the team against the measured workload, and the recurring reassignment causes are identified for rule-based handling.

Opportunity Register

A sample register, sorted by the lever that resolves each opportunity. In an engagement, each line carries measured hours, a named owner and the evidence it was derived from.

Warranty claim intake
Agentify
Claims classified and completeness checked on receipt, with missing information requested from the submitter.
Entitlement verification
Automate
Coverage confirmed from serial number, purchase record and prior claims without manual lookup.
Repair and parts authorization
Simplify
Approval thresholds tuned against measured outcomes rather than applied uniformly.
Supplier recovery claims
Agentify
Claims drafted from the failure record and supplier agreement at claim closure.
Automate and Agentify are distinct findings. Scheduling a report is deterministic work with a stated rule. Diagnosing an exception is a decision. Separating the two prevents a register from over-scoping the first and missing the second.

Instrumentation is configured per application rather than per person, so the population in scope is set during scoping and is not a deployment constraint.

How an Engagement Runs

Baseline, blueprint, transform, prove

The same four stages apply in every sector. The fourth stage repeats the baseline measurement, which makes the engagement an ongoing operating capability rather than a one-time report.

01

Baseline

What the work costs today, measured across every person and application.

02

Blueprint

Procedures, application rules and execution evidence, read as one target state.

03

Transform

Where each of the five levers applies, priced and owned.

04

Prove

The after state measured against the baseline, using the same method.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our warranty process runs across SAP, a service platform and dealer portals. Can Pyze measure across all of them?
Yes. Pyze observes the sequence of applications and screens a person uses during a task, regardless of which system each step is in. This allows an end-to-end claim to be measured even when no single system records it.
Does Pyze make decisions on claim validity?
No. Pyze measures how claim handling is performed and identifies where the work is repetitive or varies between people. Claim decisions remain with the warranty team under existing policy.
What data does Pyze collect?
Interaction metadata only: application, screen, sequence and timing. Collection is limited to a whitelist of business applications. Pyze never captures keystrokes, field values, free text or screen contents, and identifiers are pseudonymous.

Start with a measured baseline

Six weeks from instrumentation to a priced opportunity register, and the baseline stays in place so later quarters are measured rather than re-estimated.
