The warranty dashboard Apple doesn’t provide… yet

Download ABM Warranty Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager are excellent systems of record. They tell you exactly what devices you own, who they’re assigned to, and how they’re enrolled. For inventory, they are authoritative. For risk, they are silent. What neither platform shows you is which devices are quietly becoming liabilities. Warranty expiration is not surfaced. AppleCare+ status is not prioritized. Devices that are weeks away from falling out of coverage look exactly the same as devices that are fully protected.

Why Apple Fleet Risk Isn’t a Security Problem—Until It Is

Security and risk are often treated as interchangeable concepts in modern IT environments, but they are not the same discipline. Security focuses on controls, enforcement, and prevention.

Technology informs risk decisions, but it does not define them. Many technicians and administrators are exposed to risk primarily through mitigation techniques — hardening...

Blog Series Introducing ABM Warranty for macOS ABM Warranty 0.2.0 ABM Warranty 0.3.1 ABM Warranty 0.2.0 is a feature release focused on visibility, safety, and scale. This version does not change what ABM Warranty is meant to be, but it significantly improves how the app behaves under real-world conditions—large device counts, API throttling, long-running imports, and the kinds of failure modes Apple IT admins actually encounter. This release was all about making the system observable, predictable, and recoverable. Download ABM Warranty 0.2.0 Logging The logging window in ABM Warranty 0.2.0...

Introducing ABM Warranty for macOS

Blog Series Introducing ABM Warranty for macOS ABM Warranty 0.2.0 ABM Warranty 0.3.1 Introducing ABM Warranty for macOS A smarter, faster way to understand and manage warranty coverage across your organization. Download ABM Warranty 0.2.0 If you manage Apple devices at scale, you already know that Apple Business Manager (ABM) provides warranty data — but in practice, it’s extremely limited. It doesn’t provide workflow-friendly insights, it doesn’t surface actionable coverage states, and it doesn’t help you wrangle the ever-growing complexity of AppleCare+ renewals across hundreds or thousands of devices. That...
