In today's competitive marketplace, retailers often face intense pressure to reduce costs and improve margins. One thought is to incorporate third-party manufactured, rebuilt, or remanufactured parts when repairing products.
While these parts can be enticing on the surface, the decision to use third-party parts is not without risks. Here’s a closer look at some of the key risks associated with using third-party parts.
Warranty & Certification Concerns
The use of third-party manufactured, rebuilt, or remanufactured components to repair or modify any Veeder-Root products voids UL/cUL and other certifications as well as any Veeder-Root warranty.
Quality Control Issues
The quality of aftermarket parts can be inconsistent, with some parts potentially being inferior to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts. Third-party manufacturers may have different standards and procedures, which can result in parts that do not meet Veeder-Root specifications or quality standards.
Fit & Compatibility
There may be issues with how well aftermarket parts fit or function compared to OEM parts. Using inferior third-party parts on Veeder-Root products can lead to customers experiencing frequent failures or safety issues.
The Bottom Line
Veeder-Root is committed to providing you with the highest quality products that support you in leading your business in an ever-evolving landscape. While third-party manufactured parts can sometimes be enticing on the surface, the underlying risks require careful management.
