ProProfs Help Desk
Customer Support · www.proprofsdesk.com
Overview
ProProfs Help Desk is a cloud-based ticketing system that centralizes customer emails, live chat, and web-form requests into a single shared inbox, with automated ticket routing, canned responses, and AI-assisted reply drafting. It is built by ProProfs, a Santa Monica-based SaaS company that also sells standalone Knowledge Base, Live Chat, and Survey Maker products that integrate with the help desk.
The problem ProProfs Help Desk solves
Small support teams handling customer email at volume often end up managing requests in a shared mailbox with no structure -- no routing, no history, no reporting. ProProfs Help Desk solves that by turning every incoming email into a trackable ticket inside a Gmail-like shared inbox, with tagging, canned responses, and per-agent reporting built in.
