You sold the warranty. Now stand behind it for 25 years.
A transferable lifetime warranty is what makes a homeowner pick you over the cheaper bid. That promise has to survive the crew that installed the piers, the rep who sold the job, and the software you happen to run today. Oblyss keeps every warranty on the job and the customer, holds the certificate until the work is actually verified, and lets the next owner look it up and transfer it when the house sells. No lost binders. No premature certificates. No digging when the phone rings in year seven.
A warranty is a decades-long promise. Most companies file it in a drawer and hope.
Picture the call. It is year seven. A homeowner you barely remember says their floor is moving again, and they have your lifetime warranty. Now someone has to find the certificate, prove the lift was done right, and figure out whether the coverage still stands. If that lives in a filing cabinet or a folder on somebody’s laptop, you are already losing.
Then there is the certificate that went out too early. The crew wrapped, the office printed the warranty, and nobody confirmed the post-lift plumbing test. Two weeks later a supply line under the slab lets go, and you are covering a leak you would have caught if the paperwork had waited for the test. The document said the work was sound before anyone checked that it was.
And the part you actually sold on: transferability. The house goes on the market, the buyer’s inspector asks about the foundation warranty, and the seller cannot produce it or move it into the buyer’s name. Your warranty, the thing that won you the job, becomes the reason a closing stalls with your company’s name attached to the holdup.
What a warranty should do
Nothing gets a certificate until the work is verified.
The plumbing test comes before the paperwork
- Set your own gates once at the settings level, so every job in the company follows the same rule.
- Techs mark gates passed from the job on their phone, so verification is logged where the work happened.
- Issue stays blocked until every required gate is green. The button does not work until the work is done.
The coverage follows the pier that is actually in the ground
Build the estimate from the supplier catalog and every warrantable product shows a warranty badge. Sold helical piers from an NFRA distributor? Attach that product warranty to the job’s warranty record in one click, straight off the line item. No retyping terms, no guessing which manufacturer coverage maps to which pier. And when a line does not come from a catalog SKU, a rep can add a warranty by hand so nothing on the job slips through uncovered.
Because the record is tied to the products you installed, it reflects what is really holding that house up. That is the version you want in front of you when a buyer’s inspector starts asking for specifics three years from now.
- One-click attach of product warranties from supplier estimate line items onto the job.
- Manual warranties for anything without a catalog SKU, so custom scope is still covered.
- Linked to job, customer, and repair type, so the record is searchable from the day it is created.
The house sells, the warranty goes with it, and nobody calls you at 6pm.
A public lookup the buyer can actually use
When a home with your repair hits the market, the buyer, the seller, or their agent looks the warranty up on a public page and requests the transfer themselves. No login to your system. No tracking down the rep who sold it five years ago. They submit the transfer request, and it lands on your dashboard for review and approval. You keep control of who gets covered without being the bottleneck on a real estate deal that has nothing to do with your calendar.
For the homeowner, it is proof the coverage is real and moves with the property. For you, it is one more reason the warranty was worth signing for, and one less fire drill dropped on your office during a closing week.
- Public warranty lookup, so a prospective buyer can confirm coverage before they close.
- Self-serve transfer requests submitted from the portal at the time of sale.
- Review and approve every transfer from one dashboard, so the record stays accurate.
Keep the coverage valid, and turn the visit into more work
Plenty of foundation warranties stay in force only if the homeowner gets an annual inspection. Miss it and the coverage can lapse, which stings the homeowner and stings you worse when they discover it at the exact wrong moment. The inspection scheduler puts every warranty on one dashboard with its next-due date, an urgency flag, and the details that matter: warranty type, pier count, repair method, and years since the repair.
So the annual inspection stops being the thing everyone forgets and becomes a thing you book. It keeps coverage honest, and every visit is a fresh chance to catch a new problem early, reassure a customer, and stay the name they call first.
- Next-due dates and urgency flags across every active warranty in one view.
- Warranty details at a glance: from thetype, pier count, repair method, and years since the repair.

How do product warranties get onto the job?
Warrantable products in the supplier catalog carry a warranty badge on the estimate. From the line item, you attach that product warranty to the job’s warranty record in one click. For anything that did not come from a catalog SKU, a rep can add a manual warranty so the whole job is covered.
