Best helpdesk software for IT services companies in India

Helpdesk software collects customer queries from email, chat, phone and social into one queue with ownership, SLAs and reporting. The Indian-specific question is usually WhatsApp: whether it is a first-class channel or an afterthought. For IT services companies specifically, billing is project or retainer-based, not a simple product sale.

What IT services companies need from helpdesk software

  • Billing is project or retainer-based, not a simple product sale
  • A large share of staff work remotely or from client sites
  • Export invoicing brings LUT, foreign currency and FIRC handling
  • Enterprise clients ask for SOC 2 or ISO 27001 before they will sign
  • Utilisation and bench time decide margins
