What is Service Desk?

Service Desk is an interactive asset management solution for Installers, providing one centralised location for company and customer asset information.

Built specifically for Installers, users can easily search and filter on any number of data variables like Signalling Products, Panel Types, Contract Numbers & more to produce accurate and insightful asset reports.

Perfect for:

  • Administrators & Operations Managers who require fast and seamless access to company and customer asset information, without the need to bounce between multiple systems to gather the data,

  • Technical & Internal Sales, Account Managers who interface with End Users and their physical security products,

How does it work?

Service Desk provides a complete overview of a Installer Companies estate, but there are a number of filtering options built-in, as well as custom filtering supplied by you.

As standard, the full list of assets is displayed in the site table, but you can apply a number of filters and attributes:

Filtering Type

Description

Signalling Type

All signalling providers within your asset list will be displayed and filterable

Enterprise

Filter by Enterprise - customers paid Enterprise accounts

Address

Any address field

ARC

Filter by ARC service providers

The asset list can be further filtered using a selection of pre-built filters:

Filtering Type

Description

Site Reference

The signalling providers signalling reference - eg. CSL - Connection ID

Transmitter Reference

The Chip Number provided by the ARC

Country

Country code

Contract Number

Finally, custom attributes can be applied to the asset list for further filtering:

How do I get started with Service Desk?

To get started with Service Desk, we will need to import your sites into the system. We generally work with whatever data you can provide, but site/asset exports from AMS software, or management solutions like CASH are most popular.
