Summary: When government agencies run into kitchen equipment problems, warranty claims can be slow and complicated. Aldevra takes on the responsibility—managing warranty tickets, coordinating service agents, ensuring compliance with federal rules, and even handling payment hurdles like deposits or credit cards. Best of all, this service is included when you purchase through Aldevra—at no extra cost.
The Problem: Warranty Isn’t Always Simple
Government facilities rely on commercial kitchen equipment every day. When something breaks, the first thought is usually: “It’s under warranty—let’s just call the manufacturer.”
But here’s what really happens:
• Process confusion: Every manufacturer has its own warranty claim process, and government staff don’t always know the exact steps or who to call.
• Contracting conflicts: Many service technicians don’t understand government funding rules. If they find the issue isn’t covered by warranty, they sometimes go ahead and fix it. For a federal site, that’s not allowed—funding approval must come first.
• Lost time: Even when the customer calls the manufacturer, nothing may happen for days or weeks. Without the right follow-up, tickets can sit idle.
• Payment barriers: Service companies often require a credit card on file or a deposit up front before scheduling a visit. That’s nearly impossible for a government agency to provide.
The result? Frustration, delays, and in some cases, unauthorized bills.
What Aldevra Does Differently
When you buy equipment through Aldevra, you don’t just get the product—you get a partner who manages warranty support for you.
Here’s how we help:
• We take responsibility. Aldevra—not the government customer—is the one who calls the manufacturer, opens the warranty ticket, and explains the issue. That makes us accountable for making sure the process moves forward.
• We know the system. If the manufacturer issues a warranty authorization number but nothing happens, we don’t stop there. We contact their authorized service agent directly, track progress, and escalate when needed. Because of our factory relationships, we can reach people beyond a generic 800 number.
• We protect government interests. Before a technician sets foot on site, we make it clear: no non-warranty work can be done without prior approval. This prevents unauthorized charges and ensures compliance with federal rules.
• We bridge the payment gap. When a service company requires a credit card on file or a deposit before dispatching a tech, Aldevra steps in. We handle that part—so the government doesn’t have to deal with the complicated procurement approvals that would require.
• We make site access smoother. Often we already know the authorized service agent—and even which of their techs has cleared security before. We can request those techs, share site-specific parking or access instructions, and save valuable time.
• We keep communication open. If the service agent can’t reach the listed point of contact for the government customer, Aldevra quickly connects them with an alternate. That means no wasted trips, no back-and-forth, and faster service.
In one recent case, a government customer told us they had already called the manufacturer days earlier with no results. Once Aldevra got involved, we tracked the ticket, coordinated with the factory and the service agent, explained the rules, and kept the process moving.
Included with Every Purchase
Here’s the best part: Aldevra doesn’t charge for this service.
When you buy your kitchen equipment through Aldevra, warranty management, service coordination, and even handling deposit/payment issues with service companies are all included. It’s part of what we do for our government customers—because we understand the stakes and the rules.
Our goal is to make sure your equipment is covered, your costs are controlled, and your operations stay on track.
Why It Matters
Working with Aldevra isn’t about adding red tape. It’s about removing obstacles and protecting the government’s interests.
By calling us first, you get:
• A warranty claim that moves forward instead of stalling out.
• A safeguard against unauthorized repair charges.
• Relief from deposit or credit card requirements you can’t meet.
• Faster service through established factory and service agent relationships.
• A partner who understands both the manufacturer’s process and federal contracting rules.
That’s the difference Aldevra brings—because we don’t just sell equipment, we stand behind it.
