Internal Service Desk
Staff requests triaged, assigned and answered on target.

The situation
Staff ask for help in three chat channels and a shared inbox. Some requests sit unread, and whoever knows who to ask gets served first. Nobody sees which team is overloaded until the complaints start.
What you end up with
- One queue per team, with nothing landing outside it
- Requests routed by category rather than by who noticed
- Response times measured against a target, not estimated
As an xApp

- An estimate from this starting point, not a quote.
Out of the box
Staff pick a request type from a catalogue and fill in a form made for it, not a blank box. It routes to the team that owns the category. Response and resolution clocks run per priority, and internal notes stay hidden from the requester. Each team sees its own queue and workload, often the first time the load is visible rather than argued about.
- Request catalogue with a form per request type
- Routing to the owning team by category
- Response and resolution targets per priority
- Internal notes kept separate from the reply
- Queue and workload views per team
What typically gets tailored
The catalogue, routing, targets and queue views come working. We tailor what staff can ask for, which team owns each item, and sign-in through the directory you already run. Teams outside IT usually join the same build once they see one queue working.
- Your request catalogue and routing rules
- Response targets per priority band
- Staff directory and single sign-on
- Hand-off to the teams that sit outside IT

Frequently asked questions
The BuildPad Internal Service Desk template is a production-ready application that takes an internal request from raise to resolution on one ticket, routed to the team that owns it and measured against a response target. It is a working application rather than a scaffold, and a build starts from it and is tailored to your data, your processes and your rules.
