Program for A Tech Repair Shop?

[cyb3rfreak77]

I'm looking for a program for Store Management, I work at a tech repair shop and we still use a DOS like program called Store-trek, it is very old , It suits the shop very well but it very limited and I'm going to suggest to my Boss some of the new software that might speed up the check in process of our customers. I also want to maybe find a Linux Distro like OpenSuse that is good with business management. Please suggest some type of software that can be modified or edited, I'm talking editing the categories  for when your checking in a computer - like model #, brand, serial # , etc.

Make your own. So it fits all your specifications exactly. Because its yours

I was actually thinking of doing that , but what language do you suggest I write it in? python, C#, or Java, or what?

From what I understand (which isn't much in the area of programming at this moment), Python is the easiest to use cross-platform, and it seems like you work with more than one OS at this shop.

Javascript or PHP, I like javascript though. If you make it web based and modular with a common web interface, it might be added into other sites/work places. IT admins will like something like PHP or Javascript already in place than something like Python, trust me I've tried.

I'm modifying a ticketing system's source code to suit the needs of the shop I'm interning in. It uses mostly php and some javascript, although all the important stuff (queries to the db) is done through php.
Don't ask me to share the code, cause it was all translated to my language, so I doubt it would be of any use to you.
