Request Management

Request Intake With Full Visibility End to End

Internal requests — IT access, purchases, support, facilities, HR — submitted through uncontrolled channels create invisible bottlenecks. We build a single intake system that captures every request, routes it to the right team, tracks its progress, and keeps everyone informed automatically.

Signs your request handling is broken

Sound familiar?
  • Requests come in via Slack, email, and verbal conversations — no single channel
  • Requests get lost, forgotten, or handled inconsistently depending on who sees them
  • Requesters have to follow up manually to find out where their request is
  • No one has a clear view of the total request volume or backlog
  • The same type of request is handled differently each time
  • There is no record of what was requested, by whom, or when it was resolved
What changes after
  • All requests enter through one structured intake form, regardless of type
  • Each request is automatically assigned to the right team or person
  • Requesters receive status updates at every stage without having to ask
  • Teams have a live view of their open requests and workload
  • SLA timers and escalations run automatically when deadlines approach
  • Every request is logged for reporting, auditing, and process improvement
What's built

A complete request management system

Intake Form per Request Type

Each request type has its own form with the relevant fields. No more incomplete submissions or emails that lack the information needed to act.

Automatic Routing

Requests are assigned to the correct team, queue, or individual based on type, priority, department, or any other condition you define.

Status Tracking

Requesters can see the current status of every request they submitted. Teams see their full queue with priority and deadline visibility.

SLA Monitoring

Response and resolution deadlines are tracked automatically. Warnings and escalations trigger before an SLA is breached, not after.

Notifications & Updates

Requesters are notified when their request is received, assigned, updated, and resolved. No manual communication needed from the handling team.

Reporting & Volume Visibility

Dashboard views show open requests, average resolution times, volume by type, and team performance — so you can manage capacity proactively.
