Text Box: Cost effective solutions to real world problems

OpenACE V23

The latest OpenACE has been developed as a cost effective Service Management system for the latest PC Windows environments, with optional links to mobile data networks and accounting systems. These communication and data links enable OpenACE to form the hub of a complete management system or to run in a stand-alone configuration, depending on user requirements.

OpenACE is able to provide preventative maintenance management, fault logging, emergency callout and scheduled events, such as training and installation. The system can also deal with multiple contract, and warranty types, as well as recording costs for chargeable work. At each stage of the call the information for that call is time-stamped and the parts used, fix-code and other pertinent information is stored for future reference. For example, engineers’ vehicles may be one of the many types of spares depot the system supports. Furthermore, full management functions with many parameter driven reports, are included.

 

OpenACE holds lists of installed equipment assigned to customer and site location. Handling of multiple customer sites is also catered for and poses no obstacle to efficient operation of the system. Concurrent with the equipment and site details, OpenACE  will store information regarding the qualifications and availability of engineers and whether they are preferred for a specific site or customer.

 

The option of mobile data is also included for direct real time control of your engineering resources, with the ability to exchange text messages, and progress service call information by direct data entry from the engineer whilst in transit, or on site.

OpenACE has the ability to link to various external packages. Using this functionality OpenACE can form the core of a total solution for companies within the service sector of the market. These capabilities and links can be extended to accommodate future customer and business requirements.
