All mission-critical MSP features under one roof
As organizations transition towards a digital workspace, managed service providers (MSPs) can no longer afford to simply close tickets. MSPs have to deliver a consistent employee and workspace experience through effective IT strategies and service delivery practices. And as MSPs focus on service delivery, profitability is also a key driving force for them. MSPs need the right set of technologies and tools that will help them design, deliver, and manage IT service management (ITSM) practices for their clients in a profitable manner.
Though most MSPs are equipped with an IT service desk tool, it might not meet all their requirements as these solutions are often designed for internal IT teams. However, IT service desk software built exclusively for MSPs provides the following advantages, helping MSPs gain a competitive edge.
An IT service desk tool designed for MSPs helps with managing multiple clients from a single interface. MSPs can also set up client-specific user databases, workflows, processes, and configurations to ensure effective service delivery. With the IT service desk tool, MSPs can further personalize the self-service portal by rebranding it for each client.
As MSPs deliver new services, resolve incidents, and implement changes for their clients, it is also important that they track the effort spent and bill their clients accordingly. IT service desk tools built for MSPs typically come with built-in time tracking and invoicing capabilities that allow MSPs to generate invoices based on each client’s service contracts.
MSP-ready IT service desk tools with capabilities like field service management and timesheets help MSPs effectively manage and allocate their resources across their clients spread out geographically. Client-specific automations ensure effective service delivery and reduce operating costs.
