Comparison
Spreadsheets are useful for lists. Warranty operations need more than lists: permissions, evidence, reminders, public verification, certificates, customer workflows, and audit history.
For teams deciding whether to keep warranty tracking in Excel, Google Sheets, Airtable, or move to a controlled warranty platform.
Protected dashboards redirect unauthenticated users.
API routes reject unauthenticated access.
Public verification stays separate from private records.
Decision point
The problem is not the table. The problem is that warranty work needs process control around the table.
Decision point
Warrantee turns a warranty row into a managed lifecycle: issue, approve, verify, claim, extend, and report.
Use Warrantee when the warranty record needs workflow, proof, and customer trust.
A spreadsheet can be enough for a small private list. It becomes risky when customers, sellers, claims, documents, permissions, and integrations are involved.
