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 parses the message, matches the asset, scores the priority, and opens a ticket. 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 dispatched — in under 5 minutes.

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

Location, asset ID, symptoms pulled from the subject and body. Photo EXIF used for GPS.

03 · MATCHED

Asset & SLA

Matched to asset register. Last service history loaded. Priority scored against SLA tier.

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. Nearest tech assigned. Customer receives an auto-acknowledgement.

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, confirms what it can't, and opens the ticket with location, asset match, SLA clock, and a first-guess priority — so triage is a decision, not an interrogation.

  • Matches by asset ID, QR code, keyword, or fuzzy location match
  • Pulls past 90 days of work orders on the matched asset
  • Priority scored from keywords, SLA tier, and asset criticality
  • Auto-ack to customer with ticket ID and expected response time
  • Photo EXIF used for GPS when asset isn't obvious

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 can land in your queue.

Email is the default because everyone knows how to use it. But if you'd rather guide reporters through a form, or embed into your own systems — AssetOS picks up from all of them, into the same inbox.

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 → pre-filled form with asset ID, location, and photo capture open.

Branded web portal

A self-service page on your subdomain. Structured form, no login required, drops in the same queue.

REST API & webhooks

POST a ticket from any system you run — POS, IoT, monitoring. Same parsing, same queue, same SLA clock.

SLAs & response times

The clock starts when the email arrives, not when it's opened.

SLA tiers are set per customer, asset, or issue category. Every ticket inherits the right one. 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" → Matched to FCU-03-N, suggested filter replacement (last changed 6 months ago), WO pre-filled.

Vending & unattended retail

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

"Machine B3 ate my money" → Matched to VM-B3 · Plaza One, "E-03" classified cash-jam, Mike dispatched with kit.

Equipment rental & fleet

Renters email from a job site. Asset context, rental contract, and last-inspection date auto-loaded.

"Excavator #14 won't start" → Matched to EXC-14, past 3 WOs shown, remote diagnostics suggested before roll-truck.

Digital signage & connected devices

Customers or your own monitoring email when a screen is black. Remote-diag and dispatch branch from the same queue.

"Lobby screen is dark" → Matched to SIG-LB-01, ping failed, reboot attempted, on-site visit scheduled.

Stop writing “which one?” for a living.

Every workspace gets an inbox address on day one. Put it in your email signature, stick QRs on your assets, and let the tickets come to you with context already attached.

No setup fees · No per-ticket charges · Your inbox is live in under a minute
