HR is drowning in email. An HR helpdesk that actually helps.

When every employee request lands in a shared inbox, things get missed, accountability disappears and HR spends more time chasing than helping. Vivantio brings structure to HR operations — without ITIL jargon or months of configuration.

Demo built around your employee workflows. No IT jargon, no generic walkthrough. ~30 minutes.

Vivantio HR helpdesk platform

HR and employee service teams at leading organisations

From inbox to operation

A proper HR helpdesk. Built for HR teams, not IT teams.

Vivantio gives HR its own workspace — configured around HR processes, HR language and HR workflows — on the same platform IT uses, with none of the ITSM complexity.

Employee request management

Every employee request tracked, assigned and resolved. Nothing lost in a shared inbox.

Policy queries, payroll questions, equipment requests, absence management — all logged, tracked and visible in one place. HR managers see exactly what's open, who owns it and whether it's on track to meet the agreed response time.

  • Structured intake forms replacing freeform email
  • SLA tracking per request type — response and resolution
  • Manager dashboard showing all open requests in real time

Onboarding & offboarding workflows

New joiner day one sorted. Leaver process closed. Every time.

Onboarding a new employee touches IT, HR and Facilities. Vivantio coordinates all three — automatically assigning tasks to each team when a new joiner is created, tracking every step and flagging anything that's behind schedule before it causes a problem on day one.

  • Cross-team onboarding workflows spanning HR, IT and Facilities
  • Automated task assignment per department
  • Full audit trail for offboarding compliance

Knowledge base & self-service

Answer common policy questions once. Not fifty times.

A significant proportion of HR queries are the same questions asked repeatedly. Vivantio's knowledge base lets HR teams publish policy documents and answers that employees can find themselves — reducing repeat inbound queries and freeing HR for higher-value work.

  • Searchable HR knowledge base for policies and procedures
  • Employee self-service portal for requests and queries
  • AI-powered answer suggestions at the point of question

Getting HR live on Vivantio

Up and running in weeks. No IT project required.

HR teams configure their own workspace — with their own terminology, forms and workflows — without needing IT involvement. If IT already uses Vivantio, HR can be added in days.

No ITIL jargon. No IT overhead.

Vivantio for HR uses HR language — requests, policies, cases, employees. No incidents, changes or CIs. HR owns their workspace completely.

★★★★★ We ditched a 3-year development project in Dynamics with multiple full-time on-staff developers and replaced it with Vivantio in 3 weeks. G2 Review · Verified User

One licence for HR and IT

If IT already uses Vivantio, adding HR costs nothing extra in platform fees. HR gets a fully separate workspace — they just share the underlying platform.

★★★★★ We evaluated 8 different vendors, and Vivantio was our number one choice. It's full-featured, has all the solutions we needed in one place. G2 Review · Verified User

Dedicated implementation support

A consultant builds your HR workspace around your processes — not generic templates. Most HR teams are handling real requests within three weeks.

★★★★★ I've worked in IT for 35 years, and I cannot think of another vendor that gets support so right, so often. G2 Review · IT Professional
Common questions

HR helpdesk software: what teams ask us

What is an HR helpdesk?

An HR helpdesk is a structured system for managing employee requests, queries and HR processes — from onboarding and policy questions to absence management and equipment requests. Unlike a shared email inbox, an HR helpdesk tracks every request against an SLA, routes it to the right person and builds a knowledge base that reduces repeat queries over time.

Does HR need IT involvement to use Vivantio?

No. HR teams can configure and manage their own workspace independently. If IT already uses Vivantio, HR gets added as a new team with a completely separate workspace — no IT involvement needed in the day-to-day operation. If HR is deploying Vivantio independently, the same applies.

Can Vivantio manage onboarding across HR, IT and Facilities?

Yes. Vivantio supports cross-team workflows that span multiple departments. When a new hire is created, Vivantio automatically assigns tasks to HR, IT and Facilities — tracking each step and flagging anything that's behind schedule, so every new joiner's first day is sorted.

Is Vivantio suitable if HR is the only team using it — not IT?

Yes. Vivantio can be deployed for HR alone, without any IT service management involvement. HR gets their own workspace configured around their specific request types and workflows. Many customers start with HR and later expand to IT or Facilities — but it's not required.
