The Core Difference: Beyond ITIL Speaking the Language of Business

HaloITSM is built on ITIL standards. Its language is "Incidents" and "Problems." Chronodesk speaks the language of business. We unify the Service Desk with robust Project Management, ensuring that support tickets can instantly become billable project tasks without friction.

Feature Chronodesk 🛡️ HaloITSM 😇
Core Philosophy Business-Centric: Client -> Project -> Task hierarchy designed for professional services and delivery. IT-Centric: Incident -> Problem -> Change hierarchy designed for IT support and asset management.
Project Management Native & Robust: Full Gantt, Dependencies, and Milestones integrated with billing. Secondary Feature: Projects are often treated as extensions of tickets; lacks deep project financial controls.
Target Audience The Whole Enterprise: Ops, Marketing, Legal, and Projects. IT & MSPs: Heavily tailored for IT Managers and Managed Service Providers.
Terminology Flexible: Adaptable to your industry (Jobs, Matters, Campaigns). Rigid ITIL: Heavily relies on IT terminology that confuses non-technical staff.
Financials Project Profitability: Track time against project budgets and retainers natively. Service Contracts: Focused on recurring MSP contracts rather than project-based profitability.

Project Management: Delivery vs. Resolution

Stop managing marketing campaigns like server outages.

HaloITSM excels at "Incident Management"—fixing things when they break. But most businesses exist to create value. To manage a non-IT project in Halo, you often have to configure complex workflows.

Project Context

A ticket can be converted into a task within a larger project plan instantly, preserving the context without the IT jargon.

Scope

The "All-In-One" Scope

HaloITSM is primarily a tool for the IT Service Desk. If your Sales team needs a CRM or your Project Managers need deep capacity planning, HaloITSM forces you to integrate with third-party tools.
