Feature · Service Desk

Give your customers an email address.
We'll turn it into work orders.

Every AssetOS workspace gets its own inbox mail server. Customers, tenants, and building managers email it — AssetOS reads the message, picks out the asset, the issue and the priority, and suggests the work order. No forms to learn. No portal login.

Because the quickest way to report a broken vending machine is still “the one by the stairs ate my money.”

How it works

From “the thing is broken” to a work order, without the back-and-forth.

AssetOS reads the email, figures out what it's about, and queues it for triage with the context already attached. The coordinator never has to write “which one?” again.

01 · EMAIL IN

Arrives & scanned

Customer sends from any email client. Attachments scanned for malware. Bounces handled.

→
02 · PARSED

Context extracted

Asset, location, symptoms and reporter pulled from the subject and body. Dates like “tomorrow morning” understood.

→
03 · CLASSIFIED

Category & priority

Service request, emergency, question, vendor or spam. A priority, and a suggested next step with the work order pre-filled.

→
04 · TRIAGED

Coordinator sees it

Appears in the queue with every bit of context a coordinator would need — in one screen.

→
05 · DISPATCHED

Work order created

One click converts to a WO. A person always decides. Customers get an auto-acknowledgement if you switch it on.

Email → ticket · the details

Every email becomes a ticket with the full picture.

The coordinator shouldn't have to call back for basics. AssetOS extracts what it can and puts it in front of the coordinator with the asset, location, a one-line summary and a first-guess priority — so triage is a decision, not an interrogation.

  • ✓Picks out the asset ID, location and symptoms as the reporter wrote them
  • ✓Sorts each email: service request, emergency, question, vendor or spam
  • ✓Priority from safety and urgency language: low, normal, high or urgent
  • ✓Suggests the next step, with the work order title and description pre-filled
  • ✓Optional auto-reply so the customer knows it arrived

Vending machine by stairs ate my $2.50 again
Hi — this is twice this week now. The vending machine in the Plaza One lobby (near the elevators, by the stairs to P2) took my money and didn't give me the drink. Error screen said "E-03". Can someone look at it? I've attached a photo of the screen. Building open until 18:00.

Not just email

Four ways a service request reaches your team.

Email is the default because everyone knows how to use it. But if you'd rather guide reporters through a form, give clients their own login, or plug in your own systems — AssetOS picks up from all of them.

Your inbox address

Every workspace gets a real inbound mail server. Alias to any domain you own. Use in your email signature.

QR on the asset

Each asset can print a QR code. Scan, pick the problem, add a photo. No account. Lands in Fault Reports for your team to promote to a work order.

Client portal

Clients you service get a free login: their assets, your on-time record, and a button to request service or report a fault.

REST API & webhooks

Create work orders from any system you run — POS, IoT, monitoring — through the REST API.

SLAs & response times

Every job measured against the target you set.

Response and resolution targets are set per asset type, with overrides for individual assets and business-hours profiles. You can see — and your customer can see — exactly where the clock is at, in real time. No more “we'll look into it.”

Who uses it

Service Desk pays off when customers aren't your team.

It's built for anyone who maintains assets on behalf of someone else — tenants, end users, the public. When the people reporting problems don't work for you, you need context they can't give you manually.

Facilities & property management

Tenants email about HVAC, doors, restrooms, lifts. Every issue routed to the right building and asset.

"Too hot on the 3rd floor" → Location 3rd floor, issue summarised, priority normal, WO pre-filled for review.

Vending & unattended retail

Machines in lobbies, campuses, hospitals. Customers email (or scan the QR) when something goes wrong.

"Machine B3 ate my money" → Asset VM-B3 · Plaza One picked out, "E-03" noted, classed as a service request.

Equipment rental & fleet

Renters email from a job site. The asset and the fault are picked out so you can open the right record.

"Excavator #14 won't start" → Asset EXC-14 picked out, priority high, WO pre-filled.

Digital signage & connected devices

Customers or your own monitoring email when a screen is black. It lands in the same queue as everything else.

"Lobby screen is dark" → Asset SIG-LB-01 picked out, summarised, suggested for a work order.
