What is internal help desk software?

Building a productive, efficient team of employees requires readily available information,
effective channels for inter-departmental communication, a clear process for issuing requests
and approvals, and access to teams that can provide solutions when problems arise.



Internal help desk software is a safe and secure cloud-based solution to help employees issue
requests through multiple channels, convert them to traceable tickets, effortlessly manage them
from a single interface, and track them to closure. Zoho Desk is a highly effective internal
ticketing system featuring assignment rules, smart automation, an employee knowledge base,
and an AI chatbot for efficient resolutions.

Why do you need an internal help desk?

Organizations improve when they understand their key strengths and pain points. With a common place to collect, track, and monitor issues, and consolidate insights, an organization can truly thrive—and become a great place to work. An internal help desk can empower your organization to:

Bridge the gap between teams


Facilitate effortless interaction between teams so employees can collaborate to resolve their problems and receive necessary clarifications. Employees can simply tag the relevant team, and let the team decide who is best suited to solve the problem. With internal help desk software, you can promote transparency and progress, even when your teams are working remotely, dispersed among offices, or simply don't have time for meetings and calls.

Improve productivity with automation


Provide faster support by automating routine tasks. You can create workflows, contracts, SLAs, and custom ticket statuses, and configure rule-based action triggers from a user-friendly interface. Save time and effort by executing repetitive tasks automatically. You can improve productivity by auto-assigning tickets using round-robin scheduling or condition-based assignment rules. With an internal ticketing system, you can set up a workday calendar and business hours, so automation runs accordingly.

Empower employees with self-learning


Create a robust and information-rich help center using software like Zoho Desk. You can bolster your help center with an extensive knowledge base including help articles, onboarding resources, employee FAQs, company policies and guidelines, demos, and more, in multiple languages. Your knowledge base can help train new employees and serve as a 24/7 reference point for the whole organization. With an internal help desk system, setting up your help center is easy. Your teams can contribute to it with regular updates.

Measure employee satisfaction


An internal help desk can be a great source of information about the employee experience within your organization. Identify reasons for employee attrition, collect general feedback, evaluate teams' performances, recognize common concerns, and understand the overall employee mindset. You can get an employee happiness rating after every interaction or after a problem is resolved. Conduct forums and create community posts to encourage employee discussions. This will make it easier to gauge your employees' mindsets so your HR team can more readily cater to employee needs.
