Abstract

See full text

A system and method for providing distributed, or remote, equipment unit service reporting over a network. A database on a host computer communicates with a remote distributor computer that generates a unit down report. Technical support personnel receives the unit down report, initiates corrective action, and provides corrective action data to the host computer. The unit down report is updated to include the corrective action data. Distributor computers and management computers are linked to the host computer. A management computer may provide backup service hardware and engineering product support as needed to the distributor or dealer. Access to data fields in the host computer may be limited. The unit down report may be stored to create a historical record and may be organized and searchable depending upon specified criteria.
