What it does for you

A unified system for internal IT service management: employees submit IT helpdesk tickets followed by technical support staff through to resolution, while every hardware asset, software package, and commercial license across the enterprise is tracked with its physical location, assigned custodian, and warranty status. You know exactly what equipment you own, which devices suffer frequent hardware failures, and which licenses approach renewal deadlines. The system runs on a server we host for you in Egypt.

Alternative to

If you are looking for an alternative to ServiceNow and Freshservice, this replaces:

  • ServiceNow for IT service management (ITSM).
  • Freshservice.
  • Excel spreadsheets for tracking computer hardware, and chat groups for internal tech support requests.

What you get

  • Helpdesk tickets submitted via web portal or email, with category tagging, urgency levels, and assigned support technicians.
  • Service Level Agreements (SLA): designated target times for first response and resolution, with automated escalation warnings.
  • Hardware asset inventory: desktop computers, monitors, printers, networking switches, and company mobile phones mapped by office location and user.
  • Automated hardware discovery: lightweight local agents auditing hardware specs and installed software packages automatically.
  • Software asset and license management: tracking seat counts and expiration dates, alerting before license expiries.
  • Vendor contracts and warranty tracking per device.
  • Ticket-to-asset linking: inspect complete maintenance and breakdown histories per hardware unit.
  • ITIL-aligned problem and change management for mature IT engineering teams.
  • Internal knowledge base documenting standard troubleshooting solutions for IT technicians and end users.
  • Customer satisfaction surveys dispatched upon ticket resolution.
  • Equipment reservation booking for shared assets like conference projectors and loaner laptops.
  • Executive reports and dashboards analyzing support volumes, hardware asset values, and IT depreciation costs.

Built on GLPI, an open-source IT service management (ITSM) and asset management platform.

Arabic and hosting in Egypt

  • Arabic: parts of the user interface are translated into Arabic with the remainder in English; support tickets, hardware descriptions, and data records in Arabic operate natively. We complete Arabic translation under customization.
  • Hosting: we host it for you in Egypt, sizing server computing and database storage to your staff count and managed device inventory (infrastructure design).

Who it is for

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between it and "Customer Service Helpdesk"?

This platform is built for internal employee IT requests and corporate hardware asset tracking. Customer service helpdesk is designed for serving external customer inquiries and support complaints.

Does it discover and inventory computers automatically?

Yes, deploying an automated inventory agent to computers transmits hardware specifications and installed software lists without manual data entry.

Does it notify me before software licenses and warranties expire?

Yes, sending advance automated alert notifications prior to expiration dates.
