Built different. By design.

Modular Architecture

Enable only the modules you need. Helpdesk, ITSM, CX, Analytics — all in one system, all optional. Pay for what you use.

Enterprise Security

MFA, SAML SSO, SCIM, RBAC, AES-256 encryption, PII scanning, SOC 2 readiness, full audit logs. Secure out of the box.

Everything your team needs

Five capability pillars — fully integrated, fully modular.

Ticket Management & SLA

Handle every request type with precision. SLA enforcement, automation, and omnichannel inbound — all in a single queue.

  • 7 ticket types: incident, service request, problem, change, asset, complaint, inquiry
  • Omnichannel inbound: email, WhatsApp, SMS, voice, chat, and social
  • SLA policies with escalation, pause/resume, and breach alerts
  • Automation rules: if/then triggers, round-robin assignment, tag routing
  • Canned responses with Arabic and English templates
  • Bulk actions: close, assign, tag, merge, and export
