IT Asset Warranties: Never Miss a Coverage Window Again
Link every warranty to the device it covers. Track expiration dates, vendor terms, and coverage tiers. Flag assets before the window closes. Log claims, RMA history, and vendor responses against the same record where the warranty lives.
In 2026, IT organizations are replacing hardware under warranty because nobody knew the coverage was still active. They are filing claims after the window closed because no alert fired in advance. They are losing vendor disputes because the warranty documentation lived in an email thread that nobody can find. FireFlight's IT Asset Warranties app puts the coverage information where it belongs: on the asset record, visible before the decision, with the documentation attached and the expiration flagged in advance.

When a work order is opened for a device in FireFlight, the active warranty coverage for that device is visible from the same record before the repair is authorized. Coverage tier, expiration date, and vendor contact are all on screen at the moment the decision about whether to repair in-house or file a claim needs to be made. If the repair is covered, the claim process starts from the same record rather than requiring a separate lookup in a spreadsheet or an email archive search.
For IT teams managing large device pools, the coverage question should not require any research at the point of a repair request. It should be answered by the system before the work order is approved. FireFlight makes that the default rather than the exception. PCG has been building IT asset management systems since the mid-1990s, and the warranty gap that costs organizations the most is consistently the same: coverage that exists but is not visible at the moment it would change the decision.
How does FireFlight handle warranty claims, RMA history, and vendor responses?
Service claims, RMA submissions, and vendor responses all log against the warranty record in FireFlight. The full claim history is accessible from the asset record without searching email or contacting the vendor to ask for status. If a claim is disputed or a vendor response is delayed, the documentation trail is in the system rather than assembled after the fact from inboxes that may belong to people who have since left the organization.
For operations managing device fleets across multiple sites, this centralized claim history is particularly valuable when vendors dispute coverage on devices that have been serviced before. The prior claim record, the prior vendor response, and the current coverage terms are all in the same place and available to whoever is handling the current claim without requiring a history search across multiple systems.
What apps does IT Asset Warranties integrate with?
What IT organizations lose when warranty data lives in spreadsheets and email: Devices replaced at full cost that were still under coverage. Claims filed after the expiration window closed because no alert fired in advance. Vendor disputes lost because the original warranty documentation cannot be located. Extended service contracts that auto-renewed without a review because the expiration date was not visible anywhere actionable.
Each of those losses is recoverable with a current warranty record attached to the asset. FireFlight's IT Asset Warranties app makes the coverage visible at the decision point, flags the expiration in advance, and keeps the documentation attached to the record rather than distributed across inboxes and shared drives. PCG has been building IT asset management systems for organizations of every size since 1995. Warranty tracking is one of the highest-return, lowest-complexity improvements available to an IT team managing any significant device base.

-
Warranty records linked to assets by serial number or tag: Every warranty attaches to a specific device through its serial number or asset tag. When the device record opens, the associated warranty is visible without a separate lookup. Multiple warranties attach to the same device when coverage overlaps across manufacturer, extended service, and site agreements.
-
Start and end dates, vendors, and coverage tiers: Every warranty record stores the coverage start date, expiration date, vendor, and coverage tier. What is covered, what is excluded, and what the claim process requires are all in the record rather than requiring a call to the vendor to find out.
-
Expiration alerts before coverage windows close: Alerts fire before expiration based on lead time parameters configured during deployment. The IT team sees which devices are approaching expiration in time to renew, replace, or accept the gap with a deliberate decision rather than a reactive one after a failure occurs.
-
Service claims, RMA histories, and vendor responses: Every claim, RMA submission, and vendor response logs against the warranty record. The full claim history is accessible from the asset record without searching email. Dispute resolution and status follow-up both work from the system record rather than from an inbox.
-
Attached contracts, warranty cards, and coverage documentation: Scanned warranty cards, contracts, PDFs, and coverage terms attach directly to the warranty record. Vendor disputes, audit requests, and insurance claims are answered from the attached documentation without searching through filing cabinets or email archives.
-
Visibility from work orders and maintenance scheduling: Active warranty coverage is visible from the work order before a repair is authorized. If the repair falls under warranty, the claim process starts from the same record. If it does not, the out-of-warranty status informs the repair versus replace decision before the technician is dispatched.
What PCG learned building IT asset management systems across 31 years: The warranty gap that costs the most is not the one where the coverage expired and nobody knew. It is the one where the coverage was active and nobody checked before authorizing a paid repair. That gap does not require a complex system to close. It requires warranty data to be visible at the point where the repair decision is made.
FireFlight's IT Asset Warranties app closes that gap by making warranty status part of the work order record rather than something that requires a separate lookup. The coverage is there before the decision, not after. Deployments complete in weeks, not months, and existing warranty data migrates from wherever it currently lives as part of the process.

What changes after deploying IT Asset Warranties?
-
Covered repairs stop getting paid for out of budget. Warranty status is visible from the work order before the repair is authorized, so the claim process starts when it should rather than after the invoice is already submitted.
-
Warranty expirations stop arriving as surprises. Alerts fire before coverage ends so the IT team has time to renew, plan a replacement, or accept the expiration with a deliberate decision rather than a reactive one.
-
Vendor disputes are answered from the record. Documentation is attached, claim history is logged, and the coverage terms are visible. The dispute does not depend on finding the right email chain from two years ago.
-
Replace versus repair decisions are better informed. The warranty status, coverage tier, and repair history are all on the same record. The decision to repair under warranty, repair out of pocket, or replace is made with full information rather than partial information and guesswork.
-
Warranty coverage for the entire device base is visible from one dashboard. IT managers see which devices are covered, which are expiring, and which have open claims without pulling data from multiple systems at reporting time.
