AJAX Based Rich User Interface

A major challenge while designing online softwares is the page reload time - for all operations that you do (may be its submitting form or clicking event etc) requires communication between server and reloading the complete page to display the results.

We have used AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) to overcome the complete page reloading issue, AJAX is a web development technique used for creating interactive web applications. AJAX makes your pages feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user requests a change. This way it increases the web page’s interactivity, speed, functionality, and usability.

Paid Support

Vision integrates with leading Billing software WHMCS and allows you to turn your helpdesk to offer paid support to your clients. You can add billing notes, create invoice from helpdesk, track payment status and much more..

Plugin Based

Vision helpdesk is modularized to equip users to enable or disable various features. (example : You can enable or disable scrapbook, alerts, calender, online staff, favorites, anti-virus, address book etc.. ) — This also allows our developers to code several useful plugins and easily plug in to our system rather changing whole code.
