RV Warranty Management Software vs a Managed Claims Service. Software tracks RV warranty claims; Dealer Suite 360 manages them. Why a managed claims company recovers what DMS warranty modules leave on your desk.
Two different purchases
Claims software is a tool you run yourself. It gives your staff a place to log units, store photos, track statuses and see deadlines, and that is useful. But the tool does not know what each manufacturer will pay for, does not write the line, and does not call back when a reviewer cuts the labor time. The skill and the hours still have to come from your payroll.
A managed claims service is a different category: people who do the claims work for you. Dealer Suite 360 is that kind of company. You are not buying a better place to keep claims; you are handing the claims to a team whose only job is getting them paid.
What software still leaves on your desk
Even with good software, someone at your dealership has to do all of this.
Deciding what is claimable
Separating real manufacturer defects from dealer-prep misses, customer damage and no-fault-found items before they are filed and denied.
Writing every line
A Complaint, Cause and Correction for each line, with the right labor operation for that manufacturer and the right photos attached to it.
Working each manufacturer’s portal
Each manufacturer has its own portal, labor operations, photo rules and deadlines. A tool can remind you of them; it cannot meet them for you.
Answering the reviewer
Information requests, requests for more photos and questions about the diagnosis, answered while the claim is still open.
Fighting short-pays and denials
Reading each response, objecting to trimmed labor and denied lines, and refiling what can be won.
Following the money
Parts ordering and tracking, payment requests and reconciling what was paid against what was approved, until the claim is closed.
What a managed claims company does instead
With Dealer Suite 360, that whole list moves off your desk. Our claims specialists analyze your photos, screen out what is not claimable, write each line to the manufacturer’s standard, file on the manufacturer portals, answer information requests, object to denials and short-pays, order and track the claim parts, request payment and close the claim.
We handle DAF, PDI, warranty, extended-warranty and insurance claims for 16 manufacturers, in English, French and Spanish. Your dealership handles the repairs. We handle everything around them, for one flat monthly fee with no per-claim fees and no percentage of what we recover.
Where our app and portal fit
We do use software: it is how your dealership works with its claims team. Your technicians photograph units in the DS360 app, your service desk uploads work orders and approves next steps, and your managers see every claim and every line in the dealer portal. The tools serve the service; they are not the product.
Nothing gets installed and nothing gets replaced. Dealer Suite 360 runs alongside any DMS, so your existing system stays where it is and keeps doing what it does.
When software alone is enough
If you have an experienced warranty administrator with protected time, steady volume and a denial rate you are happy with, and your only problem is lost photos and missed deadlines, software may fix it. Most dealerships we talk to have a different problem: nobody has the hours or the manufacturer-specific knowledge to build every line well and fight every denial. Software organizes that shortfall. A claims team closes it.

Software or service: what dealers ask
Is Dealer Suite 360 software?
No. Dealer Suite 360 is a managed RV warranty claims company. Our claims specialists do the claims work; the DS360 app and dealer portal are how your team sends us photos and work orders, approves next steps and sees where every claim stands.
Does Dealer Suite 360 replace our DMS?
No. We work alongside any DMS and nothing has to be installed. Your DMS keeps running your store; we run your claims.
We already pay for warranty software. Why add a service?
Because the software does not do the work. If claims are sitting unwritten, denied lines are going unappealed or short-pays are being accepted, the gap is people and expertise, not tools. A free claims audit shows how big that gap is.
Who files the claims on the manufacturer portals?
We do. Our specialists file on each manufacturer’s portal, answer information requests and follow every claim through to payment.
Do we lose visibility if someone else does the claims?
No. You see every claim and every line in your dealer portal: what was filed, approved, denied or short-paid, and what we are doing about it.
How is the service priced compared with software?
One flat monthly subscription per rooftop, with every claim at one flat price, no per-claim fees and no percentage of what we recover. The plans and prices are on the pricing page.
