Internal IT Help Desk
Staff IT requests in a queue, not in your inbox.
Give your own employees one place to report a broken laptop, a locked account, or a phone that won't sync — and give your IT staff a real queue to work it. Tickets carry a category, a priority, and an audit trail, route to the right tech, and link to the very equipment record the problem is about.
The challenge
Internal IT runs on hallway requests, forwarded emails, and a sticky note on the monitor. The same outage gets reported five times, nobody knows which tech owns the printer problem, and when budget season asks what IT actually spends its days on, there's no record to point to.
In practice
A locked account on a Monday morning
A clerk in the tax office can't log in Monday morning and opens a ticket from her desk — category access, priority high — describing what she sees. The ticket gets an IT number and lands in the help-desk queue; assigning it to a technician moves it to triaged automatically, and she gets an email that someone has it. The tech adds an internal note only IT can see while he checks the directory, then a requester-visible comment telling her it's resolved and to try again.
That afternoon a different ticket comes in about a failing laptop, and because it's linked to that machine's equipment record, the tech can see its age, warranty, and history before deciding to repair or replace. At month's end, the IT lead pulls the stats — tickets by category and priority, and the ones open past the service window — and walks into the budget meeting with the printers, not a hunch.
What it does
- 01
One queue for staff IT
Employees open tickets for hardware, software, network, access, email, phone, and accounts — all in one place, not five inboxes.
- 02
Category, priority, and triage
Every ticket carries a category and a priority, and assigning it to a technician moves it through triage automatically.
- 03
Assign to the right tech
Route tickets to the IT staff who own them, and the assignee is notified the moment it's theirs.
- 04
Internal notes vs. requester updates
IT keeps private working notes on a ticket, separate from the comments the requester sees — no more reply-all confusion.
- 05
Linked to the equipment record
A ticket about a laptop links to that machine's equipment record, so its age, warranty, and history are right there.
- 06
Service-window flags
Tickets open past your service window surface in the stats, so the ones aging out don't get lost.
- 07
Append-only audit trail
Created, assigned, status changes, comments, resolved, reopened — every action is logged and nothing is erased.
How it works
An employee opens a ticket
From their desk, with a category, a priority, and what they're seeing — no walking down to IT.
IT triages and assigns
The ticket lands in the queue, gets assigned to a technician, and moves through triage on its own.
Work it with notes and updates
IT keeps internal notes and posts requester-visible updates, with the equipment record one click away.
Resolve, close, and measure
Tickets resolve and close on the record, and the stats show what IT actually handled — by category, priority, and age.
English and Spanish
Bilingual by design
This is an internal staff tool, so the bilingual surface is your own employees': the ticket they open and the status notices they receive arrive in English or Spanish, in the language each person set on their account. IT works the queue in the language they prefer.
Premium AI add-on
CiVQ AI: categorize and route the ticket on arrival
CiVQ AI reads a new ticket and suggests its category and priority before a human triages it, and points it toward the right technician. It can also surface the likely fix from past resolved tickets, so a recurring problem gets the answer that worked last time instead of starting from scratch.
