What web based tool do you use to manage computer repair customers ?

We are working on building a new computer repair and remote support business which is similar to geeksquad.
I'd like to have an accounts section for my customers, that means a database in the back-end which would be viewed by customers to find their previous work, their signed invoices, and possibly be able to track their repair status. I'd like to add most of the features on geeksquad.com like chat with an agent, scheduling an appointment, tracking repairs...etc.
Can this be done with Zendesk or freshdesk ? if not, what do you recommend ?

Hey All,I wanted to let you know there is a Meetup expo (not a spiceworks meetup) being hosted on the 3rd of November at 12:00PM. Which is a weird time for a tech meetup, but whatever.Anywayyou can find more info on it here: http://www.meetup.com/AlleyBoost/events/223247468/Blurb from the info page:The Alley Boost Startup Expo: An opportunity for over 80 exciting exhibitors to get in front of thousands of awesome attendees including startup enthusiasts, elite talent, the press and leading investors.The last one I went to when they hosted it in this swanky place in Hell's Kitchen (drinks were expensive as hell)was awesome. Lots of different industry people; from engineers, programmers, business owners, marketing people and so on. Plus someone had an impromptu party so I got handed free cake, which made the whole thing complete worth it....

  • What thrid party tools are you using for backup compression?

    I have a few SQL Server 2008 standard edition instances and I'm curious to what third party tools people are using for backup compression. I know upgrading to enterprise edition or  SQL Server 2008R2 or above will give me that compression but I do not
    have that option right now. I'm familiar with Idera, Red gate and Litespeed and I just want to know what else is out there.
    Thank you in Advance.

    There are many third party tools.
    But Why third party tools?

  • What SAP tool do you use to manage daily and weekly tasks etc

    Hi guys
    I'm new to basis and am going through setting up my (and others) daily tasks and would like to know if there is an SAP tool that I can use to manage them.
    This way all my tasks can be used by other administrators if I'm away, I can report on tasks completed etc for compliance and I can monitor whether contractors etc are doing their jobs properly.
    Thanks
    Tyrone

    1. If your query is related to daily system administration/monitoring tasks, you can make use of the Central System Administration functionality within SAP Solution Manager, which enable you to schedule the Basis related tasks along with the required frequency.
    This is a good functionality.
    If any of the tasks is not performed/left open, it generates an open action item icon in the initial dashboard of Solution Manager.
    With this, you/ your team can also make a note of the tasks they have performed and finally you can generate report from it.
    2. Along with the above said functionality, you can also use the Service Level Reporting functionality which gives an overview of the Service Level performance of the systems.
    Hope this helps.

  • Automating a process through VBA using web-based tool PMD

    I'm currently trying to automate a process of extracting information from PMD into an excel (or access if necessary) spreadsheet by using VBA in Microsoft Excel. So far i haven't found a way of communicating through VBA code with PMD. In our company's SAP there is a recorder that creates a code to simply copy into VBA but with PMD being a purely web-based tool there are not any options "clearly" available.
    Does anyone know of a script-recorder, or just any method, to include PMD processes within VBA? I'm stumped..

    I'm new to the community and I just realized I may have posted this in the wrong place. Still, any help would be great.

  • Do we have a built-in option for web based tool in Nexus 5548UP switches for management purpose?

    I have purchased Nexus 5548UP switch, i want to know if we have a built-in option for web based tool to manage and configur it just as ASA have ASDM. If there is no such options then what are the options available that can be freely available and can be used to get performance monitoring done.
    Message was edited by: Praveen Varun

    DCNM (Data Center Network Manager) runs on a server (Windows, RHEL or Solaris) and can be used to manage Nexus devices. It's free for Nexus 1K through 5K devices (paid license required for Nexus 7K management).

    There is not a "built-in" management product like ASDM for ASA.

  • What custom desktop environment do you use?

    I know one of the reasons I love arch is that you get to build a system from the ground up--you get to build your own desktop environment out of whatever login manager/window manager/file manager/etc you want.
    I'm still experimenting with openbox and slim, so I'm just wondering what everyone else is using to make their computer "their" computer. What's your custom desktop environment built from? Maybe this will be a good starting place for other noobs (like myself), who want to be able to replace gnome or kde without losing all the features.
    btw, what office tools are you using? I don't really like openoffice, and I really don't like abiword.
    thanks for sharing!

    I am a gnome > xfce > lxde-ish > nothing-in-particular convert, so my post will be rather GTK-biased
    Panel-wise...I threw together the visibility iconbox/desktop manager thing and two tweaked dzen scripts (power status and time). It's not so much a panel as it is two blocks in the corners and a large gap in the middle where I can middle click.
    I use gmrun in lieu of Gnome's alt-F2 run dialog. I found that lxtask was a decent task manager. Seems to be unusually CPU-heavy for a task manager, though. I prefer htop. I use hardinfo for computer specs when I can't be bothered to look up the right commands.
    As far as office tools go, I keep Openoffice around for compatibility and those times when vim+latex or geany+latex is overkill. I like gnumeric as a spreadsheet program.
    I use alsamixer to control sound and nitrogen for backgrounds. No login manager here. I just xinit in my ~/.bash_profile . I've installed a lot of browsers for testing (I do a bit of web design), but I generally use uzbl, midori when uzbl doesn't work, and firefox when midori doesn't work.
    Somewhere up there, jasonwryan mentioned the LnF thread. It might be worth also checking out the Crunchbang distro's applications list. The list is not as, well, light and fast, but it does have quite a few not-heavy desktop environment-independent apps.

  • Which tool do you use for load testing?

    Which tool do you use for load testing for J2EE application?

    hi,
    i use jmeter for without issues..
    first make sure that the system from where you are doing load testing is in the same lan(without firewall) to that of server. Here you are testing the capacity of server and not the network bandwith.
    So assuming very good network connection what is the servers performance level...
    If u have to decide which tool is decent enough to load testing,
    i would suggest go for jmeter. its reliable and i have used it without problems.
    Here is my quick tutorial for jemeter which i made for my teams reference.
    REFERENCE
         For Getting Started refer to any tutorial for Jmeter
         You can refer to introduction on
              http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/

         Extract jakarta-jmeter-2.3RC4.zip in c:
         install jdk-1_5_0_12-windows-i586-p.exe
         Run C:\jakarta-jmeter-2.3RC4\bin\jmeter.bat
         In Test Plan add Thread Group

         Select HTTP Request added fill details
              Serverip:www.xyz.com
              Port:80
              Path:/xyz-webapp/index.jsp
              Use KeepAlive: Checked
              Retrive All Embeded images from HTML: Checked(For geting images inside html)
         Right Click Thread Group -> Add->Listner->Graph Results
         Click on Thread Group Fill details
              No of Threads:3(This means no of simultaneous users)
              Ramp Up Period:1(3 Request will be made in 1 second period)
              Loop Count:5(Above process should be repeated how many times)
         Save TestPlan
         Run -> Clear All
         Run -> Start
              Click on Graph Results for Output
         Try adding different listener in Thread Group
              Thread Group -> Add->Listner->Summary Report
         Listeners coud be added at thread group level or HTTP Request Level

         When a request is made multiple parameter is sent to server.
         Parameters are sent from the HTTP Request node added in the Thread Group
              in "Send Parameter with the request" table.
         If we run the loop count 10 times the parameters will be sent same in every request.
         If you have to send parameters like user1,user2,user3,user4....
              then add -> Pre processor -> Counter.
         Put start as 1 and and Maximum as 10 or whatever required.
         Put Referene name as iCtr or whatever.
         In the "Send Parameter with the request" in value column put user${iCtr}

  • Fixed Asset web based tool

    Hello SAP Guru,
    Is SAP provides a webbased tool for fixed asset transactions. If yes, can you provide me a link for documentation. Sorry as I cannot find anything in the net.

    Hi,
    there is no general web based tool for FI-AA transactions yet.
    The only web based function in regards to transactions in FI-AA is the functionality for Internal Service Requests in Asset Accounting, you can find more about this in the SAP Help Portal @ https://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/01/57e23cab43ba5be10000000a114084/content.htm?frameset=/en/4f/71db6644…

  • What world traveler adapter do you use when traveling in India?

    What work traveler adapter do you use when traveling in India?

    I didn't mean my reply as a rant! Just welcoming another disabled guy on board. Yes, I do budget - and have enough left over to buy software and hardware for my Mac. The 'government' doesn't pay my electric bill - I do - and I pay $460 a month in rent - and I live in a very nice, unsubsidized handicapped and wheelchair accessible apartment.
    You really need to work on your anger issues - and although I, too, believe in an afterlife, I can be happy in life just as I am: I've no legs, so getting around is difficult for me but I don't let that stop me from enjoying life.
    I've no family remaining save for an uncle and aunt and some cousins - and they're all in Texas. And, although I, too, was "dumped" by most of my middle-class friends, I have a handful of friends on whom I rely.
    I don't believe that suicide is a way out, either. My own step-mother blew her brains out after she had a stroke. She was on massive amounts of antidepressants but she took her own life. That way is not for me.
    Loosen up and open up a little - I'm sure that you can find something in common even if it's with others who may be disabled. I do some volunteer work with a couple of agencies in town and find that keeps me going - and keeps me from feeling sorry for myself.
    If you need anyone to 'talk' to at anytime, just click on my name and my profile with my email address is public. Email me if you like...
    And have a Happy New Year - and be thankful that you got your computer as a gift!

  • What Monitor or Speaker do you use for Mastering?

    Hi,
    As a home studio owner, what Monitor or Speaker do you use for Mastering?

    Unless you have acoustically correct room, you will always have problems with low bass. That's why you need a pair of headphones that can produce sounds from 5Hz to 25kHz. I have BeyerDynamic DT770's but there are lot of others good quality headphones when you use that Hz criteria.
    I use Genelec 8040's which have enough dip switch settings to match it to the room. They are also quite small (metal enclosure walls are only couple mm thick) and since all the walls are round there are no resonances or standing waves inside the box. That means they will sound accurate even at louder mixing volumes.
    Btw the reason NS10 were used years back, was that they mimicked the average crappy home speakers, but still had tightly aligned sound. My old studio manager blamed all the terrible 1980's records on them, which you can hear if you compare them to today's remastered versions.
