Full xProtect Documentation
MobileDemand tablets are fully rugged and have one of the lowest failure rates in the industry with 1 to 3-year Limited Manufacturer’s Warranty included in the price of the product. Nonetheless, accidents happen and tough environments such as manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and field services, can take a toll on even the most rugged tablets, thus, MobileDemand has created the enhanced xProtect packages designed to replace the standard warranty from point of purchase and beyond to deliver customers tailored total cost of ownership options.
Our xProtect Service Plans will help you ensure business continuation, mobile worker productivity and technology investment protection. We know you need to stay in the field, and reliability matters. You can choose either 1, 2 or 3 year protection, depending on tablet. The price paid for the warranties includes an initiation fee of $75 for data entry and system setup services for the warranties purchased.
xProtect offers the following benefits:
- Long-term cost savings: extend your coverage for the duration of the agreement to lock in the cost of repairs.
- Three (3) business day in shop turnaround on repairs versus the standard ten (10) day turnaround on standard warranty repairs.
- Free shipping back to customer with 3-year contracts.
Any time you send a tablet in for service MobileDemand will also provide preventative maintenance and can re-load current software, when provided.
