Service management
for the whole business

One customizable service desk for every department that takes requests and fulfills them. IT runs the helpdesk on it. Engineering runs the DevOps board on it. HR runs onboarding and offboarding. Finance runs AR & AP. Operations runs everything in between. Same platform, same single sign-on, custom categories and SLAs per team.

No per-module pricing. One license covers every department, every workflow.

ITIL 4 and NIST SP 800-61 process templates, out of the box.

Pick a process profile when you create a task and the form shows only the columns that standard requires — nothing more. Five profiles ship pre-seeded: Basic, ITIL Incident (8-state lifecycle, impact/urgency/severity, business service, CMDB items, SLA per priority), ITIL Service Request, ITIL Problem (root-cause analysis), and NIST SP 800-61 IR (security incident response). Status transitions are enforced server-side. SLA targets compute automatically per priority. Build your own custom profile if your team works differently.

Built For

Every department, one platform

If your team takes requests and tracks fulfillment, TATER Ops fits. Each department customizes its own categories, statuses, priorities, SLAs, and templates — without forking the platform or paying for separate modules.

IT Helpdesk

Tickets to resolution

The classic helpdesk surface — request intake, triage, assignment, conversation thread, and closure with resolution notes.

  • Account provisioning, hardware, access, password resets
  • Templates for repeat requests
  • Per-priority SLAs (response + resolution)
  • Built-in conversation thread with @mentions
  • One-click escalation to engineering
DevOps Tasking

Bidirectional Azure DevOps sync

Native two-way sync with Azure DevOps work items. Tasks created in Ops appear as ADO work items; ADO state changes flow back to Ops automatically.

  • Bidirectional sync via Service Hooks
  • Maps priority and status both directions
  • Cross-link to TATER controls / change requests / config docs
  • External refs for any tracker (Jira, GitHub, etc.)
  • Webhook secret + IP-bound for security
HR Workflows

Onboarding to offboarding

Multi-step onboarding parents with child tasks for IT setup, badge issuance, equipment, training assignment, and policy acknowledgment.

  • Parent-task hierarchy for multi-step procedures
  • Recurring templates for annual reviews
  • Linkable to compliance training campaigns
  • Full audit trail for HRBP records
  • Auto-revoke checklist on offboarding
AR / AP Procedures

Invoice receipt to payment

Approval routing with full conversation history and document attachments. Audit-ready trail for every invoice processed.

  • Invoice approval routing with sign-off chain
  • Recurring monthly close tasks
  • External refs for accounting system IDs
  • Document attachments via linked policies / config docs
  • SLA enforcement on payment turnaround
General Operations

Office, vendor, facilities

Office moves, vendor contract renewals, facility tickets, marketing requests — anything that's "someone needs something done by someone else by a date."

  • Custom categories per business unit
  • Vendor contact tracking (linkable to TATER vendor records)
  • Recurring renewal reminders
  • Calendar integration via iCal feed
  • Power BI / Power Automate connectors
MSPs & Service Providers

Multi-tenant by design

Built-in MSP relationship model. Service providers can hold one Ops account and access tasks across all their client orgs with tier-based permissions.

  • Tier 1 (Monitor) / Tier 2 (Operate) / Tier 3 (Manage)
  • Cross-tenant search and assignment
  • Per-client license seat tracking
  • Branded portal per client
  • One sign-on for all client engagements
Fully Customizable

Configure the platform to match how you actually work

Every department has its own taxonomy — IT calls them "tickets", AR/AP calls them "invoices in flight", DevOps calls them "work items." TATER Ops lets each org configure its own categories, statuses, priorities, SLAs, and assignment teams. No engineering tickets, no platform team gatekeeping, no per-module pricing.

  • Custom categories per org
    Add your own. Each gets an icon, color, default priority, and SLA targets.
  • Searchable typeahead everywhere
    Categories, assignees, requesters, parent tasks — all use searchable autocomplete. Zero scrolling through dropdowns.
  • SLA targets per category
    First-response and resolution windows. Aging visible on every task. Breach alerts via SIEM webhook.
  • Teams & routing
    Group assignees into teams. Auto-assign new tasks by category, priority, or business hours.

Platform Capabilities

Everything a service desk should do

No add-ons, no modules, no upgrade tiers. Every capability is included on day one.

Multi-channel intake

Web form, REST API, AI integrations. Email-to-ticket via Power Automate. Self-service portal coming Q3.

Smart routing

Auto-assign by category, priority, or round-robin. Team-based queues. Manual reassignment with full audit history.

SLA tracking

Per-category response and resolution SLAs. Aging visible inline. Breach events fire to SIEM webhook for downstream alerting.

Templates & catalog

Reusable task definitions per category. Pre-fill title, description, default assignee, child task list. Pick from a service catalog.

ITIL process profiles

5 seeded process profiles (Basic, ITIL Incident, Service Request, Problem, NIST SP 800-61 IR). Per-profile field rules, status workflows, and SLA defaults. Custom profiles per organization. You only see the columns you need.

Recurring schedules

Daily / weekly / monthly auto-generation. Cron runs in Azure Functions. Idempotent — no duplicate task creation on cron retries.

Parent-child hierarchies

Multi-step procedures (HR onboarding, complex deployments) modeled as a parent task with auto-tracked child completion.

Conversations

Native comment threads with @mentions, file attachments, and audit trail. Same engine that powers TATER Security control comments.

Notifications

SMTP and Microsoft Graph email. Per-event templates — assignment, SLA breach, mentions, status changes. User-controllable preferences.

Bidirectional ADO sync

Native two-way sync with Azure DevOps. PAT-encrypted at rest. Webhook secret-bound. Maps state, priority, assignee, and tags.

Analytics & BI

Per-category dashboards, per-assignee load, SLA aging trends. Power BI direct dataset endpoint and Power Automate connector for any BI tool.

Workflow chains

Multi-step coordinated task spawning. One trigger → N tasks across teams with dependency unlocking. Role placeholders, sequential gates, automated escalation.

Network speed test

Per-device download / upload / latency from the TATER agent fleet. ISP-vs-SLA validation, SSE bypass diagnostics, per-location aggregation. Operational diagnostic, not a compliance scan.

Multi-tenant by design

Cosmos DB partitioned by tenant. Full data isolation per org. MSP relationship tiers for cross-org access. Row-level security throughout.

In Practice

Real workflows, end to end

Concrete walkthroughs of how each department uses the same primitives differently.

01

IT — VPN access broken

  • End user submits via web form (or emails the helpdesk)
  • Auto-routed to IT team based on category
  • Tier-1 agent claims, runs through troubleshooting playbook
  • Conversation thread with end user inline
  • Resolution notes captured; ticket auto-closes after 48h with no reply
  • SLA aging tracked; breach event fires to SIEM if unresolved
02

HR — New hire onboarding

  • HRBP creates parent task from "Onboarding" template
  • Child tasks auto-spawn: IT setup, badge, equipment, training, policy ack
  • Each child routes to its team (IT, Facilities, L&D, Compliance)
  • Parent shows live progress as children close
  • Day-1 reminder fires automatically the morning of start date
  • Audit trail preserved for HR records
03

AP — Invoice approval

  • AP clerk creates task with vendor, amount, invoice number
  • External ref to accounting system added for traceability
  • Task routes to department head for sign-off
  • Above $X threshold → auto-routes to CFO
  • Conversation captures approval; status moves to "Approved — Pay"
  • Final task records payment confirmation; closes with audit trail
04

DevOps — Production hotfix

  • Alert from monitoring → engineer creates DevOps task
  • Bidirectional ADO sync — appears as ADO work item automatically
  • Linked to TATER change request for compliance traceability
  • Engineer codes, deploys, updates ADO state
  • State change syncs back to Ops; conversation captures the runbook
  • Post-mortem child task created automatically
05

Operations — Office move

  • Office manager creates "Move Q3" parent
  • 20+ child tasks: vendor coordination, IT cabling, badge updates, comms
  • Each task assigned to its owner with due date
  • Calendar integration shows the full sequence
  • Daily standup reads from a single dashboard
  • Closure produces a project record for retrospective
06

MSP — Cross-client visibility

  • MSP admin signs in once with their TATER identity
  • Sees tasks across all assigned client orgs in one dashboard
  • Filters by client, severity, status, age
  • Tier-2/3 access lets them work tickets directly in client tenant
  • Per-client SLA reporting for QBRs
  • License seat usage tracked per-client for billing
Versus the alternatives

Same outcomes, less overhead

Compliance-aware out of the box

Optional cross-link to TATER Security: tickets can reference compliance controls, audits, change requests, vendors, or policies by ID. Both products show the link. Run TATER Ops standalone if you don't need the compliance side — it's a complete service desk on its own.
