Everything employees need.
One place to go.

Halo's self-service portal gives employees a single destination for everything IT-related — raising tickets, browsing the service catalogue, checking service health, reading knowledge articles, and tracking open requests. It's fully branded to your organisation, so it feels like part of your digital workplace, not a bolt-on tool.

  • Live service health banner at the top of the portal — employees see known outages before raising a ticket, cutting duplicate submissions instantly.

  • Configurable action tiles for the most common requests — Raise a Ticket, Check My Tickets, Browse Services, and more — tailored to your team's workflows.

  • Branded to your organisation — logo, colours, and domain. It looks like yours because it is — not a third-party tool with a Halo label.

Your AI agent,
on the portal.

Halo's AI virtual agent is embedded directly in the self-service portal. Employees can describe what they need in plain language — the virtual agent identifies the right service, surfaces relevant knowledge articles, and raises a structured ticket automatically if the issue can't be resolved immediately.

  • Natural language understanding — employees describe the problem in their own words and the virtual agent routes it to the right team with the right priority.

  • Knowledge deflection built in — the virtual agent surfaces relevant articles before raising a ticket, resolving common queries without any agent involvement.

  • Included in the standard Halo licence — no AI add-on, no consumption-based pricing, no separate chatbot platform to integrate.

Full visibility
for every end-user.

Employees can see every ticket they've raised — the type, current status, workflow stage, and agent updates — directly from the portal. No chasing IT by email. No "where's my ticket?" calls to the service desk. End-users are kept informed at every stage without any extra effort from your team.

  • Real-time status updates on open tickets — employees see workflow stage changes the moment they happen, without needing to contact IT.

  • Filterable ticket list by type, status, and date — employees can find any request they've raised without digging through emails or contacting the service desk.

  • Two-way communication in the portal — employees can add notes, respond to agent questions, and approve closures directly from their ticket view.

Everything a self-service portal needs.

Built in and ready from day one — no separate tool, no extra licence.

Service Health Banner

Live service status displayed at the top of the portal. Employees see known outages and degradations before they raise a ticket — cutting duplicate submissions and unnecessary contact volume.

AI Virtual Agent

Embedded AI chatbot that understands natural language, surfaces knowledge articles, and raises structured tickets automatically — resolving common queries before they reach your team.

Branded & White-Labelled

Your logo, your colours, your domain. The portal looks and feels like part of your digital workplace — not an IT tool your employees have to tolerate.

Service Catalogue

Employees browse and request from your full service catalogue directly from the portal. Each catalogue item uses structured forms — so every request arrives with the right information, every time.

Knowledge Base Access

End-users can search and browse knowledge articles on the portal. Relevant articles surface inline as they type — deflecting demand before the ticket is ever submitted.

My Tickets & Approvals

End-users track every open and closed request from a single view. Approval requests arrive directly in the portal — managers action them without needing a Halo agent licence.

The portal is standard.
Not an add-on.

Halo's self-service portal, AI virtual agent, knowledge base integration, and service health are all included in the single monthly licence — no per-user portal fees, no AI surcharges, no separate platform to integrate.

Frequently asked questions

Halo's self-service portal — answered directly.

Is the self-service portal included in Halo ITSM?
Yes. The self-service portal is fully included in every Halo ITSM licence at no additional cost. This includes the branded portal, service catalogue, knowledge base access, AI virtual agent, ticket tracking, and the service health banner. No separate module, add-on, or per-user portal licence is required.
Can the portal be branded to our organisation?
Yes. Halo's self-service portal is fully white-labelled — you can apply your organisation's logo, colour scheme, and custom domain. The portal can be configured to look and feel like a native part of your digital workplace rather than a third-party IT tool. Allied ESM handles the branding configuration as part of every implementation.
What does the AI virtual agent do on the portal?
The AI virtual agent is an embedded chatbot on the self-service portal. Employees describe what they need in plain language — the virtual agent identifies the right service, surfaces relevant knowledge base articles, and, if the issue can't be resolved immediately, raises a structured ticket automatically with the correct category, priority, and routing. The virtual agent is included in the standard Halo licence with no additional AI pricing.
Can end-users track their own tickets on the portal?
Yes. The "My Tickets" view on the self-service portal shows every ticket an employee has raised — the type, current status, workflow stage, and any updates from the service desk. Employees can add notes, respond to agent questions, and approve closures directly from the portal without needing a Halo agent licence. Approval requests — such as change approvals or access requests — also appear in the portal for managers to action.
What is the service health banner?
The service health banner is a live status display at the top of the self-service portal homepage. When a service is degraded or experiencing an outage, the banner updates automatically — employees see the status before they raise a ticket, which significantly reduces duplicate submissions and "is this just me?" contacts to the service desk. Major Incident updates can also be surfaced via the banner in real time.
