Seems most answers have focused on how to collect the data, not how to
store and present it.

Some people I know are using AT (Asset Tracker) for this purpose. That is
unfortunately a very generic and overloaded name, but *this* instance
of Asset Tracker is an addon for Request Tracker (one of the leading
trouble ticketing systems). It can be found here:

I'm not sure how ready for public consumption AT is, though.
