Improve customer and end-user relationships with a help desk

Provide support or follow-up

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. You can configure your portal’s visibility and permission settings to your needs.  

Receive requests and feedback

A help desk can be used to receive questions, feedback, or service requests. Using webforms (request forms) you can specify how customers submit these requests. Create webforms for tickets or tasks, add custom fields, and make fields required. Webforms ensure all necessary information is captured.
