HaloITSM is the IT service management product from Halo, formerly NetHelpDesk, and is now sold as part of one Halo platform that also covers enterprise service management, customer service, CRM and managed-services PSA under a single per-agent price. The ITSM side is ITIL-aligned and complete: incident management with a dedicated major incident console, a service catalogue with forms, approvals and automation for access, software, hardware and onboarding requests, change enablement with CAB reviews and risk checks, problem management with known errors, a CMDB with asset discovery, and 1,000+ out-of-the-box reports. Employees reach it through the self-service portal, email, live chat, SMS and social channels, with telephony through integrations such as 3CX.

Halo AI ships in every plan. Conversational agents work two ways: an end-user virtual agent across web chat, Teams, Slack and the portal that triages, logs and guides users before escalating with full context, and a fulfiller agent inside the ticket for your team. Process agents (dispatch, first-line support, major incident, knowledge and change management) act on platform events on a schedule, all within your role-based access controls. Underneath, Halo surfaces matching past tickets and knowledge on every new request, suggests category, priority, team and SLA-breach warnings, and runs unsupervised machine learning to find recurring themes across large ticket volumes. External agents can also be connected with their own permissions.

The commercial model is the unusual part. Halo says it is privately owned and founder-led, and since 13 June 2023 its contracts have promised no mergers, acquisitions or private equity deals for a rolling ten years. It credits unused licence fees back at renewal, gives standard-price customers a compounded 5 percent discount at each ARR milestone it reaches, and offers large organizations unlimited licences with funded implementation for a fixed $1 million a year. After 17 years in Stowmarket, it is moving its global headquarters to the Willis Building in Ipswich during 2026, under CEO Paul Hamilton. Halo was named a Challenger in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for ITSM Platforms, claims 100,000+ users in 75+ countries, and counts McLaren Racing as a technology partner and Sky TV and Cardiff Council among its customers.

Pricing is per agent with every module included; end users and portal visitors are free. The US calculator on the pricing page starts at $99 per agent per month billed annually for up to 24 agents and falls to $85 between 100 and 249 agents. Onboarding packages are required at a bespoke cost, and a 30-day trial with all features needs no credit card. Choose HaloITSM if you want a full ITIL platform without tiered add-ons, and a vendor contractually committed to staying independent. Skip it if you are a small team after a Slack-first AI helpdesk, because you would be paying for, and configuring, a complete ITSM suite.
