This standardized approach captures every request accurately and routes it to the correct fulfillment team for prompt resolution. For example, employees can request VPN access or a new laptop without needing to contact the IT help desk directly.

Improve the way that your employees get help with these key capabilities.

- Standardized workflows: Replace ad hoc communication with structured, auditable workflows to ensure consistent and predictable delivery.
- Agentic experience: Allow employees to submit requests in natural language via conversations with Agentforce through Slack, Teams, or the employee portal.
- Automated fulfillment: Resolve low-risk, repeatable requests like password resets or approved software provisioning by using automated workflows.
- Targeted service delivery: Use distinct data models for service requests and incidents. By separating routine requests from service interruptions, you can apply tailored fulfillment logic and service-level agreements.
