Service desk definition
If you build it, they will come
What's the difference between a service desk and a help desk? A service desk is a single point of contact within the company infrastructure. It is primarily an IT function. A help desk, on the other hand, is intended for the customer or end-user to provide troubleshooting, guidance, and customer service. Both of these single point services require a management system that can prioritize, track, and solve customer support tickets.
Get your tickets
Zendesk Support puts all your customer information in one place, providing your help or service desk with everything it needs from a single point. Communication between you and your users is efficient, relevant, and personal. Customizable views let agents see their queue based on ticket status, assignee, group, or other conditions. Dynamic request forms quickly give agents the right context, so they’re prepared to offer personalized customer support.
