Service/Hire Management Software

We are a small family company (4 engineers) and we are considering software to assist with the organization and efficiency of the service desk. Does anyone have experience of these types of packages, if so can you let us know what those experiances are.

Any pros/cons would greatly assist in us making a decision.

Thanks in anticipation.

In the past i have used sage and key systems which both do a job quite well however i found that both systems were written with accounts in mind and then adapted for use in the service department or the stores. Don`t get me wrong they both do the job reasonably well but it would have been nice if they were written for the service rather than an accounting tool.

Fact of the week
The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
