Service Catalogue

Email requests that disappear. A service catalogue that doesn't.

When employees don't know where to go, they email someone. That email gets lost, mis-categorised or handled inconsistently. Vivantio's service catalogue gives every team a single, structured place to request anything — and gives your team a consistent, automated way to fulfil it.

Available in the self-service portal and agent workspace — no separate portal product needed.

The problem it solves

Without a catalogue, requests arrive broken.

When employees can't find where to raise a request, they improvise — and the improvisation falls on your team to interpret. Requests arrive incomplete, mis-routed and inconsistently handled.

  • Requests by email, Teams and Slack — none categorised, none structured
  • Agents spend their first exchange asking basic questions before starting work
  • Fulfilment steps live in someone's memory, not a system

Without a service catalogue…

Employee emails IT to "reset my access" — no detail, no priority, no category

Agent manually routes, creates a ticket and chases missing information

SLA clock starts — but which SLA applies? Nobody's sure, because it wasn't categorised

What the service catalogue delivers

Requests arrive right. Fulfilment runs itself.

Browsable, searchable catalogue

A catalogue employees reach for — not around

Vivantio's service catalogue presents every available service as a browsable, searchable request form in the self-service portal. Employees find what they need, complete the structured form, and submit — with no follow-up email required. Audience-based views mean each team sees only what's relevant to them, keeping the catalogue clean and scannable.

  • Category browsing and keyword search across all services
  • Audience-specific views — IT staff, HR staff and external customers see different catalogues
  • Rich request forms: dropdowns, attachments, mandatory fields and conditional sections

Automated fulfilment workflows

From submission to resolution — no manual handoff

Every service in the catalogue has its own fulfilment workflow: the tasks, approvals and notifications that need to happen from submission to close. When a request is submitted, the workflow fires automatically — routing the ticket, triggering approval steps and sending status notifications — without anyone manually coordinating. Complex services with multi-department involvement run as structured, trackable workflows.

  • Approval steps triggered automatically on submission, with time-limited escalation
  • Multi-step task sequences for complex service requests
  • Automatic status notifications keep employees informed without contacting the team

SLA tracking on every request

Every request tracked. Every SLA measured.

Vivantio applies the right SLA target to every catalogue item — so response and resolution commitments are measured and visible from the moment a request is submitted. Different services carry different targets. Priority, customer type and business hours are factored in automatically. Agents see where every request stands; managers see performance trends across the full catalogue.

  • SLA targets configured per service — high-urgency services carry tighter commitments
  • Business-hours-aware — clocks pause outside operating hours
  • Breach alerts fire before deadlines are missed

Common questions

Service catalogue: what teams ask us

What is a service catalogue in ITSM?

A service catalogue is a structured list of services that an IT or service team provides, presented as browsable request forms. Each service has a defined scope, request form, SLA target and fulfilment workflow. Instead of emailing a team or raising a generic ticket, employees select from the catalogue, complete a structured form, and the request is automatically routed, categorised and tracked from submission to resolution.

What's the difference between a service catalogue and a self-service portal?

A self-service portal is the interface employees use — it includes a knowledge base, ticket status tracking and request submission. A service catalogue is the structured list of requestable services within that portal. Vivantio provides both: the portal is the experience, and the service catalogue is the structured request layer within it. Both are included on every Vivantio deployment.

Can you set different SLAs per service in Vivantio?

Yes. Vivantio supports SLA profiles at the service level — you can set different response and resolution targets for different catalogue items, reflecting the different urgency and complexity of each service. Priority, customer type and business hours are all configurable factors in the SLA calculation.

Can the service catalogue be limited to specific teams or departments?

Yes. Vivantio supports audience-based catalogue views — so HR staff see HR services, IT staff see IT services, and external customers see only what is relevant to them. Services can be published to specific groups, and request forms can be pre-populated with known context where possible.
