Astea Depot Repair helps provide up-to-the-minute repair status to customers. In aiding your company's cash flow, Astea Depot Repair helps reduce inventory carrying costs. Operations gains real-time visibility of the repair cycle. Management can base decisions on qualified repair center information, including accurate cost accounting. What's more, repeat repair information provides valuable clues to increasing product quality.

Alliance Depot Repair improves productivity and cost containment, automating tracking of goods through the entire repair process. Whatever the source of the query, the system provides real-time data on location, status, warranty and ownership. Such up-to-date information enables better decision-making and prioritization, and limits the risk of overstocking or shorting parts. Further, it reduces unnecessarily expediting costs when standard flows are acceptable.
