Fulfill multiple organizational needs
Support, marketing, IT, development — whatever teams you have can all work within one system. Why pay for, learn, or switch between multiple applications? OneDesk allows all your teams access to all their combined help desk and project management needs. Permissions and access controls allow you to keep work relevant and accessible to the right people.
Improve customer and end-user relationships with a help desk
Provide support or follow-up
Customers can submit requests, questions, feedback and more as tickets. You can receive tickets into OneDesk directly from your email inbox(es) or multiple other channels. Centralizing your tickets makes customer service simpler. Respond to a customer directly from OneDesk and your customer will receive it to their own inbox.

Collaborate with clients
Utilize OneDesk’s customer-facing applications to facilitate communication or collaboration with clients or end-users. The portal provides a place for customers to login and view their tickets or tasks, submit new requests, attach files and communicate.

Track tasks and tickets together
Work on tasks and support customers at the same time. Improve your services by tracking and reporting on customer issues and feedback.
Escalate issues and requests
Escalate support tickets into tasks, allowing you to plan the work around it or add it into your project or release schedules.
Convert a ticket into a task then push it to the right team or a manager. For example, push a customer’s bug report to the testing or development team.
