Franchise Warranty Management: Eliminate Administrative Burden
For multi-location franchise operations, managing warranties across hundreds of pieces of hardware is a drain on resources. Mood Media’s Warranty Management solution centralizes the entire process, removing the administrative burden from franchisees and accelerating equipment replacement to ensure brand consistency and continuous operations.
Centralized Corporate Control
Maintain full oversight of all hardware warranties across your entire franchise estate from a single source, ensuring compliance and standardized replacement protocols.
Administrative Relief
Eliminate the labor-intensive tasks of registering new equipment, tracking expiration dates, and filing complex claims from the responsibilities of in-store staff.
Accelerated Claim Resolution
Drastically reduce the time-to-resolution for failed equipment by having Mood Media manage the claims process with product manufacturers on your behalf.
What is Mood Media’s Warranty Management Service?
Warranty Management is a foundational component of Mood Media’s Managed Services Solutions. It is a back-office program that takes on the full administrative burden associated with your media system hardware.
Our specialized team handles the warranty registration and claims management processing directly with product manufacturers for the entire duration of your service contract. This removes paperwork, follow-up, and technical complexities from the franchisee’s plate, ensuring any system failure immediately initiates the repair or replacement lifecycle.

What specific administrative tasks does Mood Media take off the franchisee’s hands?
Mood Media handles the complete lifecycle, including warranty registration for new equipment, proactive tracking of warranty expiration dates, managing all required claims paperwork, and coordinating the repair or replacement logistics directly with the hardware manufacturer.
How does centralized Warranty Management help reduce system downtime?
Unmanaged warranty claims can sit for days or weeks due to incorrect paperwork or slow follow-up, leaving a store with a non-functional system. By centralizing the process, we apply expert resources to file and push the claim immediately, dramatically speeding up the timeline for repair or replacement to maximize uptime.
Is this service tied to Mood Media’s service tiers?
Yes. Warranty Management is an included feature available as a standard benefit across all our flexible service tiers (Standard, Select, Premium), providing all franchise locations with this administrative efficiency regardless of their chosen package level.
Does this cover the cost of all replacement parts?
The Warranty Management service handles the administrative and claims process for covered devices under the original manufacturer’s warranty. Mood Media offers additional solutions, such as Systems Assurance or the Advanced Exchange (Spare Pool) service, which provide repair or replacement of all in-scope equipment parts based on normal wear and tear for the duration of the program.
