Pros
The best thing about Halo is that it brings everything together in one place - case management, customers and change management. This means that we do not have to use several different systems. MSP Nordics gave us very good tips and ideas on how to set up the system.
As a Service Desk Manager, Halo is a tool that has really simplified and improved our daily work. What I like most is how user-friendly and structured the system is. We can easily manage tickets, prioritise workflows and follow SLAs in real time, ensuring that we deliver high quality service to our users.
The automation is one of my absolute favourites - with features like automated escalations, reminders and customisable workflows, we can work faster and more efficiently. In addition, the reporting tools have been invaluable. They give us a clear overview of key metrics such as case volumes, resolution times and team performance, making it easier to identify areas for improvement and make data-driven decisions.
Another great benefit is the self-service portal. Our end-users can easily create, track and resolve simple tickets themselves, which has relieved our team and improved the user experience.
In summary, HaloITSM has made our service desk more organised, efficient and proactive. It is a tool I highly recommend to anyone who wants to take their ITSM to the next level!
We have been really pleased with the flexibility of Zoho One and the ability to tailor the solution to our business and workflows. For us, it has been important not just to have a standard system, but a solution that can evolve alongside the business. CRM Nordic has been excellent at understanding our needs and translating them into concrete solutions.
What we value most is the ability to customise Zoho to suit our actual service processes and operational needs.
Nordic CRM has helped us to develop and continuously improve a bespoke solution for managing service orders. They understand how our staff work in practice and can quickly translate new requirements into specific changes to the system’s forms, fields, workflows and user interface.
The collaboration is flexible, solution-oriented and characterised by a good understanding of our business.

Cons
Halo offers many integrations, but some of them require a little extra configuration to work smoothly. Once they are in place, everything works seamlessly.
As a Service Desk Manager, I really appreciate most things about Halo, but if I have to mention something I like the least, it's that some advanced customisations and integrations can be a bit time-consuming to set up on my own. The system has an incredible amount of features, but sometimes it takes a little extra time to configure them exactly the way we want them.
Having said that, this is something that is really solvable with the right support we received from our local Swedish partner - and once we have customised the system, it works exceptionally well. The inbuilt automation and workflow features are powerful, and when we've taken the time to set them up, we've seen huge improvements in both efficiency and quality.
The areas with which we are least satisfied relate primarily to the Zoho platform itself, rather than CRM Nordic. There are still a number of places where text and functions have not been translated into Danish, which results in a less seamless user experience – particularly when the system is also used directly by our Danish customers.
We also find Zoho Bookings to be relatively limited. Here, we would like to see greater flexibility and the ability to create a more intuitive and user-friendly booking flow. Generally speaking, there are a few areas in Zoho where relatively simple requests require more customisation and development than one might initially expect.
An advanced, bespoke solution requires ongoing maintenance and further development as processes, products and internal requirements change.
This means that new requirements sometimes need to be analysed and tested before they can be implemented. At the same time, flexibility is one of the solution’s greatest strengths, and Nordic CRM helps us to prioritise and implement the changes in a structured manner.
