Ever looked around your digital workspace and wondered, “How did we end up with so many tools?”.
Modern organizations often find themselves drowning in a sea of point solutions—standalone apps that each solve one specific issue. Initially, these solutions seem great, but before you know it, you’re juggling dozens of disconnected systems.
This scattered approach comes with hidden costs. Productivity dips, employee frustration rises, and the overhead to manage all these solutions becomes overwhelming. Thankfully, there’s a better way—Siit,a platform designed to consolidate multiple point solutions into one streamlined internal service layer.
The Point Solution Problem: Why Teams Are Drowning in Tools
Every department tends to select the tool they feel best fits their unique needs. Marketing picks one app, HR another, IT chooses yet another—and soon enough, you're dealing with chaos.
The Multiplication Effect
This departmental autonomy quickly leads to overlapping tools. Suddenly, you have:
- Data silos, making cross-department collaboration difficult
- Constant context switching, draining employee productivity
- Frustration as employees navigate multiple interfaces daily
Integrating these fragmented solutions becomes a massive headache, often requiring manual data transfers and multiple logins, increasing the complexity and confusion for everyone involved.
Costs of Tool Sprawl
Besides the obvious inconvenience, tool sprawl can seriously impact your bottom line and internal security:
- Licensing Costs: Multiple tools mean multiple licenses, driving up costs exponentially.
- Training Requirements: Each new tool demands training, which can overwhelm teams.
- Security Vulnerabilities: Multiple access points increase security risks.
- Administrative Burden: Internal support and IT admins spend considerable time managing disparate solutions instead of strategic initiatives.
What Is an Internal Service Layer? (And Why You Need One)
To escape the chaos of multiple tools, organizations need a unified internal service layer—one centralized platform that consolidates all employee requests and processes.
The Service Layer Concept
An internal service layer provides a single point of interaction for all employee needs, standardizing workflows across departments like IT, HR, finance, and facilities.
It ensures context is maintained throughout the entire request lifecycle, streamlining internal operations and making everyone's life easier.
Beyond Traditional ITSM
Traditional IT Service Management (ITSM) tools handle IT issues effectively but often overlook the bigger picture.
Today's workplaces require more comprehensive solutions addressing needs beyond IT, like HR onboarding or financial workflows. Employees benefit when support isn’t just departmental but cross-functional, improving overall employee experience significantly.

Common Point Solutions Siit Replaces
Most organizations find themselves drowning in tools. One app here, another platform there, and suddenly your team has to remember which system does what. It’s exhausting and frankly, it’s not working.
Many companies use dozens of different tools just to handle basic service requests from employees. On paper, each department seems efficient picking its perfect solution. But in reality? Employees are confused about where to go for help, IT admins spend half their time managing integrations, and requests needing input from multiple teams get lost in the shuffle.
Siit flips this around. Instead of juggling dozens of platforms, Siit creates one place where all internal requests make sense and workflows connect seamlessly.
IT & Technical Support
If you’re in IT, you know the pain well. Separate tools like ServiceNow, Freshservice, or Zendesk manage tickets, asset tracking tools handle devices, and multiple identity systems like Okta, JumpCloud, or Microsoft Entra ID barely talk to each other. Each demands its own training and maintenance.
With Siit, everything happens where your team already works—in Slack or Microsoft Teams. Employees don’t have to learn another portal or remember new logins; they just ask for what they need, and Siit’s AI Powered Workflows handle the rest automatically.
You get:
- Native handling of tickets without switching systems
- Integration with device management tools like Jamf, Kandji, and Microsoft Intune
- AI-powered routing and automation freeing IT admins for strategic work.
HR Operations
HR teams face their own chaos—multiple onboarding tools, payroll systems like Rippling, Workday, or BambooHR, and scattered access requests. Siit brings all these into a single, intuitive interface.
Here’s how Siit helps HR:
- Automates onboarding tasks, syncing access and equipment without manual effort
- Seamlessly updates access when employees switch roles or departments
- Streamlines common requests like leave approvals, payroll questions, and offboarding
No more bouncing between platforms or manually updating different systems.
Facilities & Operations
Operations teams often battle fragmented systems for desk bookings, equipment requests, and maintenance tickets. Vendor management can be a mess of email threads.
Siit consolidates everything:
- Book desks, order equipment, and schedule maintenance all in one place
- Automate routine tasks like vendor notifications and maintenance reminders
- Get full visibility into facilities requests via a unified dashboard
- Ensure smooth handoffs with all stakeholders kept in the loop
Your team finally gets organized and stops chasing scattered info.
Finance & Procurement
Finance teams often juggle multiple tools—expense reporting here, purchase approvals there, budget tracking in spreadsheets. Pulling data together is a major pain.
Siit changes the game:
- Employees submit expenses through familiar channels, approvals flow automatically, synced with platforms like Workday, Gusto, and ADP
- Purchase requests follow consistent approval workflows, avoiding bottlenecks
- Budget insights and spending patterns are available in one place, no report juggling

Finally, finance operations that are smooth and simple, without the system integration headaches.
