1) Front Desk Check-In
Customers enter the basics once — name, contact, reason for visit, and urgency. Your staff sees the same clean structure every time.
What it captures
Consistent fields that reduce back-and-forth.
- Customer name + phone/email
- Service type / reason for visit
- Preferred contact method
- Urgency / priority
- Notes / photos (optional, if enabled)
Why it matters
You get better data at the start so the job moves faster.
- Fewer missed details
- Faster triage
- Cleaner handoffs between staff
- More professional customer experience
Where it routes
Intake can route to email, a ticket, or an ERP record depending on your setup.
- Email notification to staff
- MSP help request queue
- ERP job / task creation
- Follow-up trigger
2) IT Support Intake (MSP)
For MSP clients, the kiosk can capture a “Help Request” with the exact fields your techs need to start solving immediately.
Structured help request
- User / workstation name
- Issue category (email, printing, login, network, etc.)
- Impact level (single user vs office-wide)
- Best time to contact
- Short description
Reduces noise
- Fewer vague “it’s not working” tickets
- Less phone tag
- Faster time-to-triage
- Clear priority handling
Pairs with monitoring
- Uptime + alerting for critical services
- Patch / hardening baselines
- Identity + access cleanup
- Documented standards
3) ERP Routing (Ops Visibility)
The kiosk becomes more powerful when its submissions create structured records that your team can track, assign, and report on.
Turn intake into work
- Create a job / task from the kiosk submission
- Assign ownership automatically
- Add due dates and status stages
- Log follow-ups and outcomes
Visibility & accountability
- One place to see all open items
- Less “who has this?” confusion
- Audit trail on what happened
- Better customer communication
Metrics that matter
- Volume by request type
- Average time to resolve
- Most frequent issues (fix root cause)
- Conversion from visit → job
