    Customer Database Software

    Hi there

    Can anybody please recommend any software on Linux or Windows that can store customer details, and with that included will be product info of repaired fault?

    So for example

    Customer info
    Faults
    Components used

    You get the idea.
    It needs to be searchable also?

    Free would be great, but paid for would be considered.
    A tried and tested suggestion, not one you have heard about.

    Thanks

    I think there are a few web based ones. But actual windows programs cost, and cost quite a bit

      Hi Uraniam-235

      I don’t really want Web based, unless it can be installed on a Local server but don’t mind paying.

      I used to use a Database back in 98, but totally forgot it’s name.

      Do you use anything?

        Re: Customer Database Software

        I've used this one for ages...web based....but effective. Yes, it can be installed locally. I haven't seen an effective/efficient windows based repair tracker, ever....

          Thanks Topcat

          Does this software need programming skills, as I am not a programmer or a database Engineer.

          Do you run Linux or Windows?

          Thanks

            No, it's pretty cookie cutter....but it's just PHP, easy to modify if you want. It likes Linux.....but if you're crafty enough, will run on IIS.....but it's a PITA and some things don't work.

            When you buy it, they send you the source files....install took all of 10 minutes.

                    there is one used by arcade repair techs that sounds right for you.

                        Re: Customer Database Software

                        it stores equpment and repair info,
                        but there is a field for the source you could use for a customer name / number
                        it's open-source so you could add a field or 2 i imagine.

                            Libre Office Base - Free and you can make it do what you require.
                            Microsoft Access - Paid product, not that it cant be found the other way.
                            Then...C# and Windows Forms with SQL database driver, preferably MySQL.
                            Reason - MS SQL Express Edition is limited to 10GB of storage. Not that this wont be enough for you at least for several years.
                            There are quite a few web systems as well. Like OTRS ticket system. I know one Bulgarian that wrote one on delphi too. But for car workshops. Its free

                              SQL is obsolete, the author superceded it with Maria DB.

                                MariaqDB is a fork of MySQL, which are both relational databases.
                                SQL is a language.

                                  Hi Televizora - Thankyou for the information.

                                  I didn't realise Libre could be used, I will definately look into Libre.

                                  Have you heard of Spiceworks?
                                  Would that be any good for the job?


                                  Thankyou

                                          by SMDFlea
                                          Copying DMI information from an old bios to a new one is difficult for some members, often they have no experience with a hex editor,or some that have tried find it too hard.There is an option to make things easier for those members so that they don`t need to post their own bios backup for the DMI copying.

                                          Experienced bios modding members can help by posting in other threads the DMI offsets,macro script generated by the software and a download link to the software at softpedia mentioned in this guide,or post your macros in the comments here with a link to the bios request thread ....

                                          Backup To OneDrive Software? Everything! Best Software?
                                          by NeedsPractice
                                          I contacted Microsoft and they said they do not have software to where you could backup all your files to one drive. I mean you can copy some of your files to your one drive folder and back stuff up. However, it does not do this automatically.

                                          I have around (10) hard drives I want to backup to the cloud with One Drive. What is the best software to do this with?

                                          AOMEI Backupper
                                          I Drive
                                          Easeus

                                          I do not want a Cloud Plan. I just need the software to take my DATA and Transfer it to the cloud in a nice, readable, viewable fashion. I wish...

                                          About 2 times a year, a customer will do this. We fix the tv, put it on test play, and customer sees it working. They see me pull power and video wire. Sometimes I pick up tv, right in front of them, and carry it out to their vehicle while they are next to me. I set it in their tv gently, and tell them the tv is very fragile, be careful with it. I let them close the door/trunk. That day, or a few days later, they tell me there is a crack inside the tv. Normally I tell them transportation is their responsibility and normally that is the end of it. Has anyone had a customer that was not buying this...

                                          iMac fan ramps up after shutting down. Software? SMC? FET?

                                          Hi everyone.
                                          There are some topics here (also on a lot of other places) regarding this issue, but I believe none has a definitive answer. At least I didn't see anyone saying it really worked for them.
                                          In my case I have an iMac A1418 (late 2012) that the fan goes full blast (or at least ramps up the speed) after going to sleep or turning the computer off.
                                          It's not a software issue, cause it was formatted and it happens with any MacOS version I test.
                                          At some places people say it would be an issue with the S5 rail. Others say it's the S0 rail. And some others say it's an SMC...

                                          JVC LT-55C870(B) Corrupt Software??
                                          by Russ17
                                          Hi,

                                          I have a JVC LT-55C870(C). All that happens upon applying power is the red led flashes slowly (1Hz).
                                          If I hold the OK on the remote while powering on, the led flashes at 2Hz, but without a USB Device attached, it obviously does nothing, no screen or backlight.

                                          Any thoughts on this being corrupted software?

                                          Owner says the TV experienced a power surge.

                                          If software is a possibility, can someone point me in the right direction to download the correct software. Is there a procedure to force software to load from USB?
                                          ...
