Support IT Helpdesk

Everything in the service desk

This is the whole product, described in terms of what it does on a Tuesday afternoon rather than what it sounds like in a comparison grid.

There is no separate "enterprise tier" hiding the parts that make it work. Ticketing, the help centre, email intake, the knowledge base and reporting are on every plan including the free one; the paid plans raise limits and add automation, the API and the custom report builder.

Handling requests

The part your team lives in all day.

Tickets with a real lifecycle

Twelve statuses and a state machine that refuses a transition that makes no sense, so the queue cannot drift into a state nobody can explain. Reopening asks for a reason, and resolved tickets close themselves after a period you choose.

  • Internal notes kept visibly separate from replies the requester sees
  • Merge duplicates, link related, parent and child tickets
  • Watchers, major-incident flag, and a timeline of every change
  • Bulk assign, re-prioritise, tag and close with a confirmation summary

One queue, four channels

Email, the public help centre, live chat and the API all create the same kind of ticket, with the channel recorded. There is no second inbox to check.

  • Auto-categorisation from keyword rules you control
  • Ticket templates and canned replies with placeholders
  • Saved views per agent, and filters that survive in the URL you share

Email that threads correctly

Connect your existing helpdesk@ mailbox over IMAP. Replies attach to the right ticket using Message-ID, In-Reply-To and References — not subject-line guessing — and auto-replies are detected so you never end up in a loop with an out-of-office.

  • Acknowledgement sent from the mailbox that matches the queue
  • Bounce handling marks an undeliverable address on the ticket
  • Per-message log that says why anything was skipped

Commitments and process

SLAs with real business hours

Response and resolution targets per priority, working hours per weekday, Indian public holidays pre-loaded, and clocks that pause while you are waiting on the requester.

  • Warning at 80% and a breach event, both of which can drive automation
  • A panel on every ticket explaining exactly why its deadline is what it is
  • SLA state visible in lists and in every report

The five ITIL registers

Incidents, problems, changes, service requests and security incidents, each with its own lifecycle, its own fields and its own links — there when an auditor asks, and out of the way when nobody is asking.

  • Change approvals, risk and impact, backout plan and a scheduling conflict check
  • Problems with a known-error database and linked incidents
  • Service requests raised from the catalog with an approval chain

Service catalog and approvals

Publish the things people can ask for, with a form for each, and route them to a manager or a named approver. Approvers can decide from an emailed link without signing in, and every decision is logged.

Deflection — fewer tickets, not faster ones

The cheapest ticket is the one nobody needed to raise.

A knowledge base people actually use

Articles with revisions, ratings and a public or internal audience. Guided walkthroughs take someone through a fix step by step and hand off to a pre-filled ticket when the self-help does not work — so a failed article still produces a good ticket instead of a bad one.

  • Draft an article from a resolved ticket in one click
  • Nightly mining proposes drafts from tickets you have already solved
  • Questions the chat assistant could not answer become a to-write list

Live chat with an assistant that checks the database

The assistant verifies who it is talking to against your employee directory, answers from your knowledge base with a link to the source, looks up real ticket status, and hands over to a person when it should.

  • Answers about your data come from the database, never from a language model
  • Identity verified by employee code and mobile, with an email OTP for anything sensitive
  • Agent console with presence, transfer, and convert-to-ticket

A help centre at supportit.in/yourcompany

No DNS record to add, no certificate to buy. Send your staff the link and they can raise a request, track it, search the knowledge base and start a chat.

Knowing how you are doing

Reports that answer the question you were asked

Ticket volume, open versus resolved, SLA performance, agent distribution, category and priority ageing, requester volume, chat deflection, first response and resolution times, CSAT and reopened-ticket analysis.

  • Pin any report to your dashboard
  • Export to CSV, Excel, Word or PDF
  • Schedule one to arrive by email daily, weekly or monthly

A report builder that cannot be injected

Build your own from allow-listed datasets and fields. User input never reaches SQL except through that allow-list — which is a security property, not a limitation we are apologising for.

Automation without a scripting language

Rules are an event, some conditions and some actions, built in a form. Notify, escalate, set a status, assign, add a note or call a webhook. Every firing is logged with what it did, and you can test a rule against a real ticket before enabling it.

Fitting into what you already have

REST API and webhooks

A documented API with bearer tokens or OAuth2, cursor pagination, idempotent writes and per-plan rate limits, plus outbound webhooks signed with HMAC and retried with backoff. OpenAPI 3.1 and a Postman collection are in the product.

Import and export

Bring employees, categories, canned replies and knowledge-base articles in from CSV or Excel, with column mapping, a row-by-row error preview and a rollback. Take everything out again at any time, in any account state, at no charge.

Works on a phone properly

Installable as an app, with an offline page, a bottom navigation bar, tables that become card lists rather than sideways scrolling, and forms that do not make iOS zoom every time you tap a field.

Questions about how it works

Can we run IT and HR on the same workspace?

Yes. Two queues with separate branding and separate permissions, so HR requests are not visible to the IT team or the other way round — but one login, one bill and one knowledge base engine.

Do we have to use the AI features?

No. Everything works with the rule engine alone, and the AI can be left switched off entirely. Where it is on, it runs on a model we host ourselves.

Can requesters see each other's tickets?

No, and that is enforced at the query rather than by hiding a link. A requester sees only their own tickets and requests; an attempt to reach another's is refused and recorded.

The fastest way to judge it is to use it

Create a workspace, forward one real email into it, and see what happens.
