Asset Panda is a customizable asset management platform that helps organizations track and manage various types of assets.
The HappyFox Help Desk + Asset Panda integration enables a one-way sync from Asset Panda to HappyFox, importing assets as read-only, managed entities. This allows agents to associate tickets and contacts with relevant asset information to streamline support workflows.
