Handesk is a self-hosted Laravel-based help desk and lead management application. It provides multi-team ticketing with email polling, Slack/email notifications, reporting, and a REST API for tickets and leads.

Use cases

  • run a self-hosted customer support ticketing system
  • manage sales leads with tasks and mailchimp subscriptions
  • convert support emails into tickets automatically
  • track customer ideas and roadmap items
  • get slack notifications when tickets are created or updated
  • report on support team performance
  • create github issues directly from support tickets

When to choose

  • you want a self-hosted, unlimited-agent help desk built on Laravel
  • you need combined ticketing and lead management in one app
  • you want an API to integrate tickets into your main application
  • you prefer email-driven support workflows with attachments

When to avoid

  • you need a SaaS solution with managed hosting
  • you are not comfortable deploying and maintaining a PHP/Laravel app
  • you need enterprise features like SSO or advanced SLA management
  • you need a lightweight ticketing tool without lead management
