E-Mail and Ticket Templates

The automatic emails InvGate Service Desk generates are completely customizable, using either plain text format or HTML. This includes the text, formatting, and images you want to use and the system populates the emails with the variables you select. Edit to suit your business.

Intelligent Notifications

Intelligent notification capabilities include: in-app notifications (providing real-time notifications within the application); email notifications (simply create your templates and the system will automatically generate and send emails in response to a change in status); and breaking news (enabling technical support agents to display notifications to end users on the support portal before they log support requests).

UI Flexibility Including Company Branding

For many companies, aligning the corporate service desk with company branding is a must do. With InvGate Service Desk, you can customize your login screen, welcome message, logo, and company name to match your corporate design style and culture.

Authentication

Automatically import and authenticate end users against one or more LDAP servers (such as an Active Directory controller) as well as your Google or Microsoft corporate accounts. End user accounts can then be configured within the system and assigned to groups, roles, and permissions.

Multilingual Support

InvGate Service Desk allows you to choose the language of the interface displayed to agents and end users, with the option to choose between English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Service Desk also supports Unicode characters so you can create text in any language you like.

Approval Management

If you need someone’s approval to advance a ticket, no problem – InvGate Service Desk manages it for you. The request, response, and even the next steps are fully automated so a ticket can be progressed quickly. You can predefine approvals to save you time; instant approval requests for anything ad hoc; and workflows with approvals, fully automating your processes including approvals with a Service Desk workflow.

Customer Feedback

InvGate Service Desk is specifically designed to integrate customer feedback within the resolution process. The foundation of the customer feedback system is the Service Desk’s social media design elements including team-based structure, use of profile pictures, and thread-style communication. The collection of customer ratings and comments at the time of solution approval ensures the feedback is fresh, relevant, and contains real insight into what went right or wrong.

E-Mail Integration

InvGate Service Desk can be easily integrated with corporate email systems to save time and effort. End users and service desk agents can then interact with InvGate Service Desk via email to lodge tickets, respond to approval requests, and to update issues automatically. The Service Desk monitors your support email accounts and allows the creation of allocation rules to automatically direct requests to the correct service desk or support agent. Agents can self-assign, escalate or reject tickets, post comments, add attachments, or make approvals from their inbox with a single click.

Groups and Custom Fields

You might want to present different options to IT and end users depending on their role, seniority, department, or some special characteristic. InvGate Service Desk lets you manage these differences through groups and the option to customize group access. This includes the ability to: present specific fields or options to users when they raise a ticket, including custom fields and dropdowns; control approval levels, so you restrict approvals based upon the level of authority or seniority; and select level of functionality or system control based upon group membership.

Time Tracking

InvGate Service Desk Time Tracking provides you with enhanced budget control and forecasting capabilities. It allows service desk agents to record the number of minutes or hours they spend working on resolutions and, coupled with the power of InvGate Analytics, companies can analyze the deployment and consumption of resources across a variety of variables. Time Tracking also includes Wait-Time Analysis and provides critical insight for performance management or process improvement, such as the identification of underperforming teams or process bottlenecks.
