IT professionals may spend most of their time out of the office. Typically, you work at client sites and from home, and need to keep up to date with your schedules, assigned tickets and tasks, customer information and more. This is where RangerMSP Web Interface comes in to play.
RangerMSP Web Interface comes as two modules:

This module enables the creation of unlimited customer Web users (multiple users can even be defined for each customer/account). Using a browser, your customers will be able to login to RangerMSP remotely and view data which is relevant to them, including open Tickets, closed Tickets and scheduled technician visits. Customers can also log new tickets which will automatically receive a ticket number and enter the Received Tickets queue in RangerMSP.
You can receive email alerts whenever a customer creates a new ticket, or updates an old one, via the Customer Web Portal.
Customer Web Portal is a simple, clear and easy to understand interface. Your staff and customers will quickly feel comfortable with the program with a minimum of training.
