You can use a tool like FrontRange HEAT (www.frontrange.com) or SpiceWorks (Free http://www.spiceworks.com/)

A typical service desk has a Service Desk Manage, Service Desk Analysts and an Administrator. Service Desk Analysists (SDAs) man the service desk, i.e. they receive incidents from users, log them in the service desk tool and offer first line help. If the SDA cannot resolve the incident, he/she can escalate it to a service provider. The Service Desk Manager oversees the overall operation of the service desk. He/She produces daily, monthly and ad-hoc reports and ensures service level agreements with service providers are met. The administrator takes care of the day to day administration tasks of the service desk e.g. backing up databases and ensuring the service desk tool is running smoothly.

Dear Sir,

I found another tool which could be of an interest (IssueTraks help desk software), it's a customizable IT help desk software which can:

Streamline your service desk procedures
  • IssueTrak will automatically assign new issues based on your preferences.
  • When entering a new, but repetitive issue, you can select a pre-filled issue from a drop down menu and only have to enter specific information about the issue.
  • Create tasks or select a predefined group of tasks to add to an issue. Tasks can be assigned to anyone in your organization and can even be given dependency levels.
  • Send notifications to members of a distribution list when specific issue types are submitted or other actions occur.
  • When a new issue comes in via email, IssueTrak creates a track able request based on the emails content, and then automatically assigns the issue. IssueTrak will also keep track of all subsequent email correspondence inside of the issue.
Easily assign, track and manage IT support requests
  • Administrators can define service level agreements and monitor compliance. Email alerts are sent to individuals or groups when your defined service deadlines are approaching.
  • IssueTraks help desk software is 100% Web based and zero footprint. No installation on individual computers is necessary and IssueTrak is easily accessible through a web browser to submit or check status of a support request.
  • Customize your dashboard to show the metrics you care about the most. Easily see the number of unassigned, open and escalated issues, average response time, and open incidents by assignee, type and priority.
Manage your IT assets
  • Automatically audit, record and maintain information about your assets in IssueTraks IT help desk software.
  • Assets can be linked to users and when resolving support requests related to an asset, you can associate the issue and asset and view its software and hardware components.
  • Use the asset search capability or built-in reports to easily locate items and detect trends, retrieve detailed information about your IT and non-IT assets.
Create and run reports
  • The reporting options available in IssueTrak stretch as far as your creativity will allow. Create and run reports on numerous data fields to use in your IT decision making.
  • Schedule reports for delivery to specific people in your organization via email.
Increase end user satisfaction
  • Your users can submit issues via email or their web browser and check on the status of their issue anytime, anywhere without interrupting your help desk staff.
Manage knowledge base articles and issue solutions
  • Maintain a collection of resolved issues right at your fingertips. Search your open and closed issues and help desk requests based on one or numerous fields.
  • Create knowledge base articles from resolved issues instantly or write them from scratch.
  • Email knowledge base articles to customers with open incidents or allow staff and customers to search your knowledge base articles to help them resolve issues.

many thanks Ahmed,,,
as i understood from the tool that it will not help me to manage the staff by assigning them for a 24/7 and keep the schedule arranged very well.
the tool is concentrated on the procedures and the way to work on the help desk.
the problem is that our company on the airport should work 24/7 hrs and we should assign the team on a every strict schudle so that every body will work same as others..
