A typical service desk team effectively performs several functions for a company. It provides a single (or multiple) point of contact for users to gain assistance in troubleshooting, get answers to questions and solve problems. A service desk generally manages its requests through the use of software such as issue tracking system.

* link a ticket to services to assist in isolating what a ticket might be about.
 
* leverage the ticket status to manage escalations.
 
  
The Service Desk module comes in two packages that are sold separately. All subscribers benefit from the features above, regardless of which package they subscribe to. The two available packages are:

Tickets are immediately available to the Retail service provider who will either:
 
 
 
* Resolve the ticket
 
* Send the ticket up to their wholesale service provider.
 
 
 
The wholesale service provider (or supplier) actions the ticket and that information is sent back down to the Retail Service provider automatically. Eventually the ticket is closed. End users can see updates and resolved tickets in the End User Portal.
 
 
 
Not all these features are provided with the base subscription for the service desk module. Optional modules will apply to use the full suite of functionality of the service desk.
