Big Thicket Helpdesk

One system for tickets, assets, reservations, and everything that keeps a workplace running.

Built for IT and facilities teams juggling requests across too many tools. The Big Thicket Helpdesk brings ticketing, asset tracking, scheduling, and reporting into one place.

What's inside

Built to replace the pile of separate tools most teams end up with.

Every module below shares the same data — an asset, a ticket, and a reservation can all reference each other instead of living in disconnected systems.

Tickets

Ticketing

A single queue for every request, with custom tags, full activity history, and an audit trail on every ticket from open to close.

Assets

Asset Management

Track technology, facilities, and vehicles in one system, each with ownership history and every ticket ever tied back to it.

Scheduling

Reservations

Book rooms, equipment, and vehicles straight from their asset records, with configurable rules for how double-bookings get handled.

SLAs

SLAs & Business Hours

Set response and resolution targets per ticket type, measured against real business-hours calendars rather than a naive 24/7 clock, with automatic breach tracking.

Automation

Workflows & Forms

Build custom intake forms and multi-step workflows for things like onboarding, with visibility rules controlling who sees what.

Docs

Knowledge Base

Public and internal articles with visibility controls down to the individual team, so sensitive documentation stays internal by default.

Vault

Password Vault

Shared credentials organized into access-controlled groups, encrypted at rest, so passwords stop living in spreadsheets and sticky notes.

Portal

Customer Portal

A dedicated, signed-in portal where end users submit and track their own requests, browse the knowledge base, and fill out forms.

Reports

Reporting & Dashboards

Save custom report configurations that always query live data, plus shareable dashboards for the metrics your team checks every day.

Built to be configured

Modular by design — not just customizable at the edges.

Almost nothing in the helpdesk is hardcoded to one team's process. Forms, workflows, routing, SLAs, security policy, and access control are all configured from within the system itself, so it can be shaped around how your org actually works instead of the other way around.

Forms

Custom Forms & Fields

Build intake forms field by field — text, paragraph, number, date, dropdown, radio, checkbox, even an asset picker. Fields can show or hide based on an earlier answer, so one form adapts instead of you maintaining five.

Process

Custom Workflows

Attach a multi-step workflow to any form, so what happens after submission — approvals, assignments, notifications — is defined per form, not hardcoded into the system.

Routing

Custom Routing Rules

Route incoming tickets automatically based on conditions you define, instead of everything landing in one shared queue for someone to sort by hand.

SLAs

Custom SLA Policies

Set your own response and resolution targets per ticket type, measured against whatever business-hours calendar you configure — not a fixed 24/7 clock.

Security

Custom Security Settings

Session timeout, password complexity, lockout thresholds, and step-up authentication for the password vault are all admin-configurable at runtime, not fixed in code.

Access

Custom Access & Visibility

Control who sees what — knowledge base articles, forms, password groups — down to the individual team or user, rather than a single all-or-nothing permission switch.

Email integration

Requests come in over email and land as real tickets.

Inbound email automatically creates and updates tickets. If a message was forwarded rather than sent directly, the helpdesk can detect that and credit the original sender — so who actually reported the issue never gets lost, even when it comes through secondhand.
