Everything a request needs

Requests, approvals, processes, answers and AI agents, for every department. Here is how each part works.

Requests and the inbox

Every request, incident and question is one record. Each department works its own inbox, with the conversation, internal notes and AI drafts in one place.

  • Email, the portal and chat land in the same inbox
  • Internal notes stay inside the team
  • Saved views, bulk actions and live updates
IT-1042 · VPN stopped working after my password changeSample data
Mia Email · 09:12

Hi, since I changed my password on Monday the VPN won't connect. I've already restarted my laptop.

Internal note · 09:20

Third one this week after a password change. Unlocking fixed the other two.

Hi Mia, I've unlocked your VPN account. Log in again with your normal password; it should work within 5 minutes.

Routing and SLAs

Rules send each request to the right department and group, and every request shows how much time is left.

  • Rules by category, mailbox, words or requester
  • First-reply and resolution targets per priority
  • Business hours, so the clock runs only when you work

Service catalog and forms

Employees start services from one catalog, grouped by what they need rather than by department. Each item is a form you build, and it can start a journey.

  • Forms with required fields and conditions
  • Ask on behalf of someone else
  • One catalog for the whole organisation

Journeys

Processes that cross departments, like onboarding, offboarding and contract changes. Steps run in parallel or in order, and each is done by a person, an AI agent, a vendor or an API call.

  • Each department works its steps from its own inbox
  • End-to-end deadlines, like ready by the start date
  • Sensitive fields visible only to the department that owns them

AI agents

Nitoa AI is the assistant everyone talks to. Each department also has its own agent that does that department's routine work, at the level you allow. Agents also work in business systems such as SAP, Workday or Salesforce.

  • Suggest, draft, act with approval or act on its own
  • Permissions and a monthly budget for each agent
  • A log of everything each agent did, and a switch to stop it

Every action is logged and can be undone. Switch an agent off and it stops at once.

Business systems

Agents don't stop at the service desk. They read and update the systems your business runs on, such as SAP, Workday or Salesforce, so customer service and sales answer from real orders, stock and accounts.

  • Sales orders, pick lists, credit checks and price changes in your ERP
  • Customer accounts and returns in your CRM, people data in your HR system
  • Changes to money or customer data wait for a person to approve them

  • The answer goes straight back into the journey
