A flexible HR help desk with self-hosting, automation, and a free entry point.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
LBi HR HelpDesk is a case management and call-tracking workflow system for HR teams handling employee questions, requests, and confidential cases. It supports employee self-service through a web portal, email-to-case creation, confidential access controls, configurable workflows, automatic assignment, escalations, overdue tracking, and searchable knowledge bases. Its scope suits organizations ranging from small businesses to large enterprises, particularly teams that need more structure than a shared inbox can provide.
Pricing follows a freemium model. LBi HR HelpDesk Free provides a basic issue-resolution workflow, case confidentiality, automatic escalations, and email notifications. LBi HR HelpDesk Pro adds an employee self-service portal, FAQ knowledge base, audit trail, reporting, and export. ProPlus adds ad hoc reporting, an executive dashboard, feedback surveys, a document repository, and an aging utility. Enterprise is a customizable edition with on-premises and dedicated hosting options plus single sign-on support. The published annual starting price for paid access is $1,530, and a 30-day trial is available.
Its strongest fit is for HR operations that need configurable case routing, reporting, knowledge management, and connections to established business systems. Integrations include SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft, Workday, SharePoint, Lexmark Perceptive Software, and Amazon Web Services, while HRIS and ERP data integration supports broader platform alignment. Web deployment suits hosted environments; self-hosted, on-premises, and dedicated options give larger organizations more control over deployment. Teams seeking a narrowly simple ticketing tool may find the tiered feature structure and enterprise deployment choices more than they need, while organizations with confidentiality, escalation, and self-service requirements have a broader match.
