What is a helpdesk?

Think of it as a shared inbox with superpowers. Every request from customers, employees, or users gets tracked, assigned to the right person, and followed through to resolution. Nothing gets lost. Nothing gets forgotten.

1
Customer submitting a request

Request comes in

Via email, web form, or phone—it all lands in one place as a ticket.

2
Ticket assigned to agent

Assigned to the right person

Automatically routed to the team or agent who can help.

3
Issue resolved

Tracked to resolution

Every update recorded. Customer notified. Problem solved.
