Leading companies like Ramp, Qonto, Swile, and Gorgias rely on Siit to streamline employee support and automate workflows using advanced AI
PARIS, Nov. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Siit today is officially launching its AI-powered Service Desk solution for IT and internal operations teams. Along with the product debut, Siit announced it has raised $5M in a Seed round led by StageOne Ventures and Seventure Partners. This funding will accelerate product development, expand market presence, and fuel Siit’s ambitious growth plans.
The Disconnect Between Service Desks and Employee Needs
Traditional service desks have gained a reputation for being rigid, complex, and disconnected from other tools. This disconnect is evident in the common frustration employees experience when seeking help, only to be met with the dreaded response, “Did you create a ticket?”
According to Forrester, while 66% of employees contact the service desk at least twice a year, a third avoid it altogether due to various frustrations. Even more concerning, only 47% of employees feel that service desks adequately support their remote work experience.

At its core, Siit utilizes large language models to automate routine tasks and assist employees efficiently. The platform seamlessly integrates with popular communication tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams, featuring an intelligent “invisible” ticketing system that simplifies request submissions and management. Siit’s robust workflow automation capabilities extend to crucial processes such as onboarding, offboarding, and internal approvals.
