HaloCSM is a type of customer service software that helps support teams manage, track and resolve customer enquiries across multiple communication channels from a single system. It is developed by Halo Service Solutions, a software company headquartered in the United Kingdom, and is used by organisations that support external customers rather than internal employees.
Customer service software, also referred to as help desk software or customer support ticketing software, centralises incoming customer contact into a shared queue so that agents can respond consistently and managers can measure service performance. HaloCSM is commonly adopted by B2B software companies, financial services firms, retailers, universities, healthcare providers and public sector organisations. Most implementations replace a shared email inbox, a legacy help desk tool, or several separate point solutions used across different channels.
Core capabilities of HaloCSM include:
Omnichannel ticketing. Email, live chat, telephone, WhatsApp, social media and web forms feed into a single queue, with a unified customer history available to every agent regardless of the channel used.
Customer self service. A brandable customer portal provides a knowledge base, ticket logging and ticket tracking, with AI powered search that allows customers to resolve common questions without contacting an agent.
AI agents and automation. AI agents resolve routine enquiries end to end, and assistive features cover response drafting, conversation summarisation, sentiment analysis and automated ticket categorisation.
Workflow and SLA management. A configurable workflow engine handles routing, escalation, approvals, custom fields and service level agreement tracking, and is configured by the customer's own team rather than through vendor professional services.
Reporting and analytics. Dashboards and reports cover CSAT, first contact resolution, response and resolution times, agent performance, channel volume and open ticket backlog.
HaloCSM is available as a cloud hosted service or installed on the customer's own infrastructure. Cloud hosting is offered with data residency options including the United Kingdom, United States, European Union and Australia. Licensing is per agent, with functionality included in the licence rather than divided across pricing tiers, and AI resolution is included rather than charged as a separate per resolution fee.
Points of difference prospective buyers commonly evaluate:
Internal IT support and external customer service can run on one platform, as HaloCSM shares an underlying platform with HaloITSM, HaloPSA and HaloCRM.
Self hosted deployment is supported alongside cloud
AI usage is not metered per resolution
Configuration does not require paid professional services
HaloCSM integrates with Microsoft 365, Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Teams, Salesforce, Slack, common telephony platforms and single sign on providers, and provides a REST API for custom integration.
