What Happens When You Don't Standardize Internal Requests?
By SimplifyIT | Published
Email Is Not a Process
When staff submit internal requests by email, things fall through the cracks. Who owns it? Who needs to respond? Was it ever resolved? The lack of standardization causes more work, not less - and it frustrates everyone involved.
Missed Steps, Missed Deadlines
Without a defined process, teams miss approvals, double-handle issues, or lose track of status. One missed step in a vendor request, password reset, or facilities issue can turn into hours of back-and-forth.
Staff waste time chasing status updates - or worse, they just give up.
Standardized Requests = Clarity and Speed
With a built-in help desk, every request follows a clear path: the right person gets notified, the request is tracked, and nothing gets lost in an inbox.
- Clear ownership: Tickets route based on category or department.
- Complete info: Staff fill out a form, not a blank email.
- Transparency: Managers and requestors can track every step.
