What this covers

Practical help around a self-hosted service desk

Help deciding whether BareBones Ticketing fits the way your team handles service work.

  • Current request paths and ticketing pain
  • Self-hosting and operating constraints
  • Requester, agent, admin, and external participant needs
  • Workflow, SLA, approval, and audit questions
  • Clear proceed, pilot, defer, or fit-check recommendation

Implementation support

Help shaping the first useful operating path around BareBones.

  • Service catalog and intake structure
  • Workflow, status, and SLA configuration planning
  • Department-scoped access and role mapping
  • Launch checklist and operating handoff
  • Narrow import, integration, or reporting support when scoped

Documentation and continuity

Readable records so service teams can operate and hand off the system without guesswork.

  • Service desk operating notes
  • Requester, agent, and administrator guidance
  • Decision logs and change records
  • Access and support-boundary documentation
  • Handover notes for maintainers and future staff

Fit assessment

Bring the messy version

You do not need a finished requirements document. A few paragraphs, one example, or a rough workflow problem is enough for Finlay.works to sort fit, gaps, and next steps.
