Decision Intelligence augments warranty workflows, enabling features like instant knowledge retrieval, predictive insights, and automated claims handling that legacy warranty management systems lack.

Circuitry.ai is the next-generation AI-native solution for warranty and service contract management. Built from the ground up with AI and decision intelligence at its core, Circuitry.ai’s platform can boost productivity by 35% and speed up claim processing time by 20%+, a clear efficiency edge over more manual processes.

AI-powered warranty transformation with Decision Intelligence

The flexibility of warranty decision intelligence fulfills the needs of different enterprises, such as OEMs that value predictive maintenance and quality feedback loops, emerging manufacturers with new warranty models and tons of telematics data to leverage, and mid-size dealer groups that don’t have large IT departments.

For OEMs

OEMs offer factory warranty and extended service contracts, administered in-house, via TPAs or some combination. Circuitry.ai enables OEMs to realize value by improving warranty cost control, product quality feedback, supplier recovery, and dealer service experience. For example, OEMs can use advanced AI analytics to immediately detect quality signals from claims data, saving millions by addressing defects faster and ideally avoiding recalls.

For TPAs

TPAs and warranty providers are specialized companies that administer extended warranties, service contracts, and F&I products for dealers, OEMs, agencies, and insurers. TPAs operate on thin margins and need to scale fast and efficiently. AI can reduce loss ratios and admin costs. For example, a TPA that processes thousands of claims weekly could use AI agents to streamline and automate much of the process, allowing them to handle a higher volume with the same staff driving a healthy ROI.

For dealers

Large public and private dealer groups sell extended warranties or handle service contract admin for their customers, in many cases acting like a TPA for products they sell. Dealer groups care about speed, customer experience, and customer lifetime value. Every day a claim is delayed, it affects customer satisfaction in the service department and for the customer.

With Warranty AIgent and Warranty AIdvisor, dealers can satisfy customers on the spot with AI warranty workers that provide instant approvals or answers. In contrast, if they rely on a legacy system, the Service Advisor might be waiting on hold or navigating complex forms in a legacy system. Dealers can use AI capabilities to differentiate their service experience while improving their profit margins.

Optimize warranty outcomes and address common challenges

Warranty Decision Intelligence results in faster processes, lower costs, and better customer/dealer experience:

• Smarter decisions, faster: Harness AI to approve claims, detect fraud, and answer questions in seconds, not hours or days – boosting your team’s productivity and efficiency.

• Cut costs, not corners:  Reduce excess claims expense by catching errors and optimizing repairs, all while increasing accuracy. Fewer mistakes and quicker insights mean a leaner warranty operation.

• Elevate your service experience: Increase customer satisfaction and retention with fast responses and proactive support.

Here are a few examples of how AI addresses current issues and delivers superior value to your warranty operations:

• Time-consuming claims-handling: AI Agents can auto-approve simple claims or flag anomalies instantly, cutting decision time from days to minutes, whereas a legacy system and processes might wait your Adjuster review.

• Fraud leakage: AI’s ability to detect duplicate claim picture or unusual claim trends that can slip through inconsistent manual or static system checks, saves money that even a good admin system and seasoned Adjuster might miss.

• Lack of insights:  Our Warranty AInalyst provides real-time analytics on emerging failure trends, dealer performance, and out of line conditions which can easily plug into an OEM’s quality improvement process.

• User experience: Circuitry.ai’s conversational AI lets dealers or customers get answers and file claims through a natural language interface for a modern, convenient experience.

AI-first, decision intelligence capabilities

Circuitry.ai was born in the AI era to bring decision intelligence to warranty operations. Unlike legacy platforms, which were architected before the AI boom, Circuitry.ai’s design is AI native and uses machine learning and generative AI to deliver real-time recommendations, decisioning and automation in ways legacy systems can’t.

For example, Circuitry’s Warranty AIdvisor and AIgent act as virtual experts and agents within the workflow, answering complex coverage questions, flagging anomalies, and even auto-processing routine approvals. Augmenting your current warranty management software workflows.

Claims Advisor plugs into the existing claims process. Claims are still processed in your current system, but the AI claims processor assigns a claim score, reviews attachments for fraud, and recommends approvals/denials before the adjuster ever sees the claim.

For instance, AI image analysis can eliminate up to 20% of adjusters’ manual review time, allowing them to process more claims per day while improving accuracy.

Don’t wait, upgrade now to AI-driven intelligence

Circuitry’s AI warranty management software solutions are designed to augment existing systems. An OEM or TPA can layer Circuitry’s decision intelligence on to their current warranty administration software to gain AI capabilities.

Circuitry.ai’s solution serves as both a complement and an enhancement to transaction-focused systems. While current systems largely focus on workflow in managing warranties, contracts, claims, and payments lifecycles, Circuitry.ai adds a layer of intelligence. How? By using predictive analytics via Warranty AInalyst for early issue detection, conversational AI via our PAL for instant answers to dealer queries, and cognitive automation for AI processing of pictures, text, PDFs, and other documents.

Superior industry and warranty knowledge

Circuitry.ai is not just an AI tech company but an AI company that truly understands warranty and service contracts. Circuitry.ai’s team created the warranty management systems used by leading OEMs and administrators over the past 25 years. Now, we’re reinventing warranty management with artificial intelligence to meet the demands of today and tomorrow. We understand the intricacies of OEM warranty policies, dealer operations, TPA operations, and financial models. We combine that business knowledge with innovative AI that is purpose-built for warranty and service contracts.

We know that even augmenting an existing warranty platform is a big decision. Circuitry.ai offers AI model training with your data at a low cost with flexible subscription pricing and a dedicated Success Team to ensure a smooth transition.

Agility and customer-centric innovation

As an agile firm, Circuitry.ai can configure solutions to a client’s specific needs much quicker. For example, when an OEM needs a custom AI model to detect a new failure pattern, Circuitry’s data scientists can deploy that in days or weeks, whereas a large competitor might put it on the roadmap for next year.

Being AI cloud-native and modular, Circuitry.ai’s warranty intelligence platform integrates with new data sources such as IoT sensors, telematics, and new CRM systems easily. In contrast, older systems might require heavy development to do the same. Circuitry.ai is focused on working closely with clients in an iterative, fast-paced manner to ensure they get the exact decision intelligence they need.

Skip costly and time consuming, in-house development

Developing sophisticated AI in-house requires companies to invest heavily in new talent, infrastructure, and additional software acquisitions driving CAPEX. There’s also the risk that after all that spending, the resulting product might not meet expectations since AI projects can often fail to deliver ROI if not done correctly.

Partnering with Circuitry.ai offers a cost-effective alternative leveraging the R&D Circuitry.ai has already done and continues to innovate. You can roll out AI features that are tried and tested in real-world deployments rather than entirely new and experimental.
