Biashara

BIASHARA gives managed service providers the entire operations stack in one open-source platform: remote monitoring, service desk, scripting, inventory, security and identity, paired with AI agents that resolve the routine work. Built on open foundations, run on your terms, owned outright.

09
Modules, one product

Monitoring, service desk, scripting, inventory, remote access, mobile management, security and identity, built together rather than glued together.

00
License fees

The platform is open source. There is nothing to renew per technician, per endpoint or per module.

03
Ways to run it

Cloud, on-premises or hybrid, on infrastructure you choose, secure and extend yourself.

02
Agents in the loop

One agent meets the client at the ticket. One works beside the technician on the fix.

01. The problem

The stack has become the overhead

A managed service provider rarely runs one product. It runs an RMM, a ticketing system, a remote control tool, a monitoring suite, a documentation platform, a password vault and a log search tool, each with its own login, its own data model, its own renewal date and its own idea of what a client is.

Every one of those products bills monthly, usually per technician or per endpoint, so the cost of delivering service rises in step with the number of clients won. The integration work between them is never finished, because each vendor ships on its own schedule. And the work that actually consumes technician hours, reading a ticket, working out what it means, checking a device, writing a short script, is still done by hand.

The result is familiar to anyone who runs a service desk: a thin margin defended by long hours, and a technical estate nobody fully owns.

Where the margin goesTypical stack
  • Licensing Six to ten subscriptions, each priced per seat or per device Costs scale with growth instead of falling with it, so winning clients rarely improves the margin as much as it should.
  • Integration Connectors that break on somebody else's release schedule Engineering time spent maintaining links between products that were never designed to work together.
  • Context switching Four consoles open to answer one question A technician checks the ticket, the device, the monitor and the documentation separately before any work begins.
  • Duplicate records The same client and device described in several places Nobody trusts the asset list, so inventory and billing reconciliation becomes a monthly chore.
  • Manual routine Triage, scripting and status updates typed out by hand The most repeatable work in the business consumes the hours of your most expensive people.
02. The platform

One platform for the entire operation

Nine modules share one data model, one identity layer and one console. A device is a device everywhere in the product, a client is a client, and a ticket already knows which machine it came from.

01

Remote monitoring and management

Agent-based monitoring, patching and remote administration across every endpoint, server and network device you look after. The operational backbone the rest of the platform reads from.

Replaces a licensed RMM
02

Service desk and PSA

Ticketing with queues, service level targets, time capture and a client portal, so requests are tracked against a commitment rather than an inbox.

Replaces a separate PSA product
03

Monitoring

Availability, health and performance signals for devices, networks and services, with thresholds per client so a degradation surfaces before anyone calls about it.

Replaces a standalone monitoring suite
04

Scripting

Author, version, dry run and deploy scripts to one machine or a whole fleet, with agent assistance writing the first draft and a technician approving what ships.

Replaces ad hoc script libraries
05

Inventory

A live record of hardware, software, warranties and configuration for every client, kept current by the same agents that do the monitoring.

Replaces asset spreadsheets
06

Remote access control

Attended and unattended sessions to managed machines, authorized by the platform identity layer and recorded against the ticket that justified them.

Replaces per technician remote control
07

Mobile device management

Enrolment, configuration profiles, application delivery and compliance for phones and tablets, managed beside desktops instead of in a separate console.

Replaces a separate MDM console
08

Unified SIEM

Security information and event management across the whole estate, with events correlated against inventory, identity and change history rather than read in isolation.

Replaces log search billed by ingest
09

Identity and access control

One directory of technicians, roles and client contacts, governing who can see which tenant, run which script and open which session.

Replaces per product user lists
Today

A stack of licensed products

  • 01Separate vendors to license, integrate and keep in step with each other
  • 02A monthly bill for each product, rising with every endpoint added
  • 03Triage, scripting and status reporting done by hand
  • 04Client data spread across vendors you do not control
  • 05Margins defended with overtime

Cost of service grows roughly in line with the client base.

With BIASHARA

One platform you own

  • 01One open-source product covering the whole managed services stack
  • 02No license fees, because the platform is built on open-source software
  • 03Agents handling the routine triage, scripting and follow-up
  • 04Client data held in infrastructure you operate
  • 05Margin that improves as the estate grows

Cost of service is infrastructure and people, not renewals.

03. The agents

Automation that closes the loop

Automation is not an add-on module here. Two agents work inside the platform: one meets the client at the ticket, the other works beside the technician on the fix. Both operate under your approval rules and leave a full record of what they did.

Client-facing triage agentService desk
  • Answers the moment a request arrivesIt reads the ticket, classifies it, sets priority against the client service level target and sends a first reply in your voice.
  • Gathers the context a technician wouldIt links the affected devices, pulls recent monitoring and change history, and attaches the runbook that applies.
  • Proposes the fix before anyone opens the queueWork is already staged when a technician arrives, so the first human minute is spent deciding rather than collecting.
Technician-facing scripting agentAutomation
  • Writes and tests the remediationIt drafts the script for the target platform, runs it in a sandbox and reports what changed before anything reaches a client machine.
  • Waits for a technician to approveNothing touches production without a named person approving it, and the approval is recorded with the change.
  • Handles the repeatable work end to endOnboarding steps, cleanups, profile pushes and scheduled checks run without a technician typing them out again.

From signal to resolution

  1. 01

    Signal

    A monitor fires, a security event correlates or a client writes in. All three arrive in the same platform, against the same device record.

  2. 02

    Triage

    The triage agent classifies the work, sets priority, answers the client and assembles the evidence a technician would otherwise gather by hand.

  3. 03

    Action

    The scripting agent proposes a remediation, tests it in a sandbox and presents it for approval. A technician approves, edits or takes over.

  4. 04

    Verification

    The platform confirms the fix held, closes the ticket against the service level target and writes the whole sequence to the audit trail.

04. Open foundations

Open source to the core, owned by you

BIASHARA is assembled from established open-source software and published as open source itself. There are no license fees, no black boxes and no vendor holding your client data.

01No license fees
The platform is free and open-source software. Your cost of service becomes the infrastructure you run and the people you employ, not a per seat renewal that grows with every client you win.
02Run it anywhere
Deploy in the cloud, on-premises or across both. Self-host the whole platform from the public code repository, or keep the heavy components in your own racks and the client-facing parts in a provider of your choosing.
03Own the data
Tickets, inventory, logs and session recordings live in storage you control, with retention you set. Nothing is held hostage behind an export tool, and there is no exit fee for changing your mind.
04Extend it in the open
Read the code, audit the agents, add the module your operation needs and keep it private or contribute it back. The roadmap is public and shaped by the operators running the platform daily.
Cloud On-premises Hybrid Self-hosted from the repository
05. The community

Run by the operators who use it

BIASHARA keeps a peer community for managed service providers, organized around three things that are useful on a Tuesday afternoon: somewhere to ask, somewhere to share working code, and somewhere to write down what you learned.

ChatPeer help
  • Monitoring and scriptingPatch rings, maintenance windows and the scripts that survived contact with a client fleet.
  • Detections and responseTuning security events so the signal that matters is not buried in the noise.
  • Self-hostingDeployment topology, upgrades, backups and the questions worth asking before go-live.
Shared codeReviewed
  • Onboarding runbooksThe sequence a new client goes through, written as scripts rather than a checklist in a document.
