IN BUILD · A NEW HELP DESK AND SERVICE DESK

Inside and out.
One desk.

One platform for the people who buy from you and the people who work for you. The help desk and the service desk in one, built to fit the way you already work.

// one platform · for everyone you answer to

// one desk, two directions. you choose what lands here.

// meet people wherever they reach out

// what it is

One place for every kind of support.

CommsDeck is where the questions land, get answered and get tracked, whether they come from a customer or a colleague. Instead of one tool for the outside world and another for your own team, it is a single platform that does both, and lets you keep them as joined-up or as separate as you like.

A help desk

Answer your customers quickly on whatever channel they use, with the history, the context and the tools to do it well.

A service desk

Give your own people a proper way to ask for what they need and get it sorted, from IT and finance to facilities and HR.

One platform

Shared tools, shared knowledge, one login. Run both sides together or wall them off, with a smart layer to lighten the load.

// inside and out

Two desks that stay in their lane.

Helping a customer and helping a colleague are the same job done two ways, usually by different teams. CommsDeck gives you both without muddling them together.

◆ For your customers

Customer support

Fast, friendly help on every channel the people who buy from you actually use.

  • Email, chat and the web, all in one place
  • A help centre that answers the common questions
  • Live chat, with a hand from a bot when it helps
  • Happier customers, quicker replies
◆ For your team

Service desk

A proper place for your own people to ask for what they need and get it sorted.

  • A simple way for staff to raise a request
  • Sign-off built in for the things that need a yes
  • Keep track of what belongs to whom
  • Less chasing, more sorted

Keep the two completely separate, run them together, or land somewhere in between. You decide who sees what.

// features

Everything a busy desk needs, and nothing it doesn't.

The tools to handle a flood of conversations without dropping any, keep your team in step, and let people help themselves before they ever reach you.

// the inbox

Every conversation, the way you want it.

Email, chat, web forms and the help centre all flow into the desk. Work it as one shared view, or split it cleanly by team and channel. However you lay it out, nothing slips through the cracks.

Every channel, in the one desk One shared view or split by team, your call Pick up a thread wherever it started
// the smart layer

Let the desk answer the easy half.

A smart layer that takes the easy, repetitive questions off your team's plate and tees up the rest, so people spend their time on the work that actually needs them, not the same answer for the hundredth time.

Quietly handles the routine Frees your team for the work that matters Always a clean handover to a person
// self-serve

Help people help themselves.

A clean, searchable help centre means the easy questions answer themselves, at any hour, for customers and your own team alike. Good answers surface at the right moment, so the desk only picks up what really needs a person.

Searchable articles and guides Suggested right when someone needs them Fewer of the same questions, over and over
// make it yours

Shape it to fit how you work.

Set the desk up around your business, not the other way round. Build the forms you need, send each request to the right team, and make it look like you. A wholesale order, a complaint and a password reset are different shapes, so set them up that way, by the people who run the desk.

Forms and fields you build yourself Send the right work to the right people Your brand, your domain, your look
// see how you're doing

Know what is going on at a glance.

See how busy you are, how fast you are replying and where things get stuck, without building a spreadsheet. Spot the queue that is drowning before it becomes a problem, and prove the desk is pulling its weight.

Volumes, response times and what is open Per team or across the whole business Ready to glance at, or dig into
// set it once

Let the busywork run itself.

Set a rule once and the desk does the repetitive bits for you: tag it, send it to the right team, chase the ones going quiet, close the ones that are done. The kind of tidying up that quietly eats an afternoon.

When this happens, do that Route by who is asking and what they need Nudges and chasers handled for you
// a closer look

One screen, the whole picture.

Everything whoever is helping needs in one place: the conversation, who it is from, the history and a hand from the assistant. A rough sketch of the workspace, not the finished article.

the inbox who it is from, and their history one thread, every channel a hand from the assistant
The inbox Customer context One thread, every channel Private notes A hand from the assistant Tags and routing
// and the rest of the toolkit

The details that keep a desk humming.

Smart routing

Send each conversation to the right team or person automatically, by who is asking and what they need.

Macros and saved replies

Answer the questions you get every day in a click, with replies that fire a few actions at once.

Response targets

Promise a reply time and keep to it, with gentle nudges before anything slips.

Work together

Private notes, mentions and a quiet word with a colleague, all without the customer seeing.

Saved views

Set up the views you work from each day and jump straight to the queue you need.

Approvals

For the requests that need a yes first, route them for sign-off before any work begins.

Roles and access

Decide exactly who can see and do what, so the right people handle the right work.

Connects to your stack

Tie the desk into the tools you already run, with a proper way to plug things together.

The full history

Every contact, every request, every answer, kept in one place and easy to find.

// how it gets used

Built for the way you actually work.

One platform, plenty of shapes. A few of the ways a business can put CommsDeck to work.

Customer support teams

Field questions, complaints and requests across email, chat and the web, keep replies fast and let the help centre soak up the easy ones.

Internal IT and service

Give staff one place to report a problem or ask for access, with sign-off where it is needed and a record of what is where.

£

Operations, finance and HR

Handle orders, supplier queries, expenses and people questions as their own kinds of request, each routed to the right desk.

Teams who want one tool, not five

Run customer support and internal service on a single platform, so there is one place to look, one login, and one thing to run instead of a stack of them.

// why CommsDeck

Most teams run two tools. We think that is one too many.

Customer support and internal service do fundamentally the same job. Running a separate product for each means two of everything to pay for, learn and keep in step. Here is the difference.

01

Inside and out

One tool for the people who buy from you and the people who work for you.

02

Power where it is needed

Whoever is asking for help gets real answers and real visibility, not a form and a wait.

03

Smart, not gimmicky

The clever bits take work off your team's plate, rather than getting in the way.

04

Yours, and accountable

Your data, your branding, and a real studio behind it when you need a hand.

// part of the family

Made by Axenara.

CommsDeck comes from Axenara, a studio that takes the hard parts of the internet off your hands, from building a site, to keeping it online, to looking after the people who use it. One team behind the lot, real people you can reach, not a chain of suppliers pointing at each other.
