Manufacturer Partnerships

Your products stay
intelligent. Forever.

People still own your 2018 dishwasher. Your 2020 laptop. Your 2015 water heater. Covala keeps every product intelligent throughout its entire lifecycle — and when it's time to replace, we recommend your latest model.

After the sale, you lose the relationship

You spend millions on R&D, marketing, and retail placement to get someone to buy your product. Then they take it home and you never hear from them again — until they replace it with a competitor's.

Day 1

The sale

Customer buys your product. You have their attention. Brand connection is strong.

You're present
Day 2 – Year 8

Ownership

Customer uses your product daily. Needs maintenance info, error codes, parts. Can't find your manual.

You're invisible
Year 8+

Replacement

Product reaches end of life. Customer googles "best dishwasher" and buys a competitor.

You've lost them

Covala fills the gap between purchase and replacement — keeping your brand present for the entire product lifecycle.

The Ownership Lifecycle

Your brand, present at every stage

With your product data in Covala, your brand stays connected to the customer from day one through replacement — building loyalty that lasts the entire product lifecycle.

01

Purchase

User adds your product to their Covala inventory. Your brand, model, specs — all preserved.

02

Setup

Instant access to your manual, warranty info, and recommended initial maintenance.

03

Maintain

Automatic maintenance reminders. Error code lookup. Parts compatibility. Your product stays healthy.

04

Support

When something goes wrong, Covala provides model-specific troubleshooting before they call a technician.

05

Replace

End of life? Covala recommends your latest model — same category, same quality, your brand first.

The replacement moment is everything. When a user's Samsung dishwasher reaches end of life after 10 years, Covala recommends the latest Samsung model first — not a competitor. Your brand stays in the conversation because you've been present the entire time.

The Long Tail

People still own your 2015 products

Your current website showcases this year's models. But millions of people own products you made 5, 8, even 12 years ago. They need maintenance info, error codes, and replacement parts — and they can't find it. Covala is where those products live forever.

Legacy products

Discontinued models get the same intelligence treatment as current ones. Your 2016 water heater still needs maintenance reminders.

Manual archive

PDFs get indexed and become searchable knowledge. Users can ask "Why is my Samsung showing E4?" and get an instant answer.

Upgrade path

When a legacy product reaches end of life, Covala maps it to your current lineup — driving users to your latest models, not competitors.
