Operations Hero

Why choose Deskpro as your internal operations help desk?

Facilities, Procurement, and Shared Services field requests without a system built to handle them: work arrives by email and chat, lives in spreadsheets, and stalls whenever someone is out of office. Deskpro is an internal operations help desk for the teams that have never had one of their own. You configure the platform with the routing, approvals, and request management workflows that match the ways your teams work, with granular permissions and flexible deployment options that keep sensitive information secure.

Frequently asked questions

What is an internal operations help desk?

An internal operations help desk, or business operations software, gives internal teams like Facilities, Procurement, and Shared Services one system for receiving, routing, and resolving requests from across the business. It covers request intake from different channels (email, forms, internal messaging apps), approval workflows, case tracking, and reporting.

What’s the difference between an internal operations help desk and a facilities ticketing system?

They’re similar, but a facilities ticketing system specifically handles requests related to maintenance, space, and building issues. An internal operations help desk brings the same request and case management features to every internal function, so Facilities, Procurement, EHS, and Shared Services work in one place.

Does Deskpro replace our CMMS, EHS platform, or procurement system?

No. Deskpro serves as an intake and case layer, so employees submit requests in one place while your specialist tools keep doing the asset, incident, and purchasing work they were built for. Deskpro can connect to the systems you already use through pre-built integrations and its API, so cases can stay linked to the system of record.

Can Facilities, Procurement, and EHS all use the same Deskpro instance without seeing each other’s cases?

Yes. Deskpro lets you restrict access by department, team, or role, so an agent only sees cases their permission group allows.

How is Deskpro’s internal operations solution different from its IT help desk or HR ticketing system?

It’s the same platform, used by different teams. We frequently see customers start using Deskpro in one department, such as IT, HR, or customer support, and then expand to others, thanks to the ability to set granular permissions, route requests from all intake channels, and set up multiple help centers.

Can non-technical teams (Facilities, Procurement) really self-serve without IT setting Deskpro up?

Yes. Workspaces, request forms, routing rules, and automations can all be configured in the admin interface without needing to know how to code, so a Facilities or Procurement lead can adjust their own workflows. For the initial setup and any data migration, Deskpro offers dedicated implementation services.

What kind of reporting does leadership get across departments?

Deskpro includes over 150 built-in reports plus custom dashboards you can build per team or department, covering request volume, resolution time, agent activity, and satisfaction. Because every internal team works in the same system, leadership can compare loads across teams to help determine staffing needs or identify areas for improvement. Reports can be sent on a schedule to the people who need them, with access controlled per user.

Is Deskpro secure enough for sensitive EHS/safety incident data?

Deskpro is ISO 27001 certified, SOC 2 audited, and GDPR compliant, with encryption, permission-based access, and audit trails. Sensitive incident cases can be restricted to the department handling them, so they stay invisible to everyone else on the platform. Teams with stricter requirements can run Deskpro in a private environment (VPC, private cloud, sovereign cloud, or on premise).

How does pricing work when multiple departments share one instance?

Deskpro is priced per agent rather than per department. Professional and Enterprise plans include Lite Agents for colleagues who need to collaborate or approve without handling cases directly.
