After-sales service is the single biggest factor in consumer electronics brand loyalty — yet most Indian brands still run service operations on spreadsheets, phone calls, and disconnected tools. The result: 3-4 day service turnaround times, 15% fraudulent warranty claims, and declining CSAT scores.
