Helpdesk software that maintains your knowledge base itself

Classic helpdesks are built for support teams of 20+: ticket queues, SLAs and a charge per ticket. Sarrai is the lightweight alternative for SMEs — a helpdesk built around a knowledge base that keeps itself current, without per-ticket fees.

Why a classic helpdesk gets in the way

Classic helpdesk software is built for teams of 20+.

Ticket queues, SLA reports, roles and routing: powerful for a large support centre, but overkill for an SME. You pay for heavyweight features you never use, while the real work — keeping your knowledge base current — stays manual.

weeks Rolling out a classic helpdesk takes weeks of configuration and training.
  • per ticket
On top of the seats you often pay per resolved ticket — your bill rises with how busy you are.
manual work Updating your help centre stays manual; you only notice outdated articles once a customer trips over them.
The core: a knowledge base that grows with you

Your knowledge base maintains itself — you only approve

No helpdesk where articles quietly go stale. Sarrai keeps your knowledge base current based on the questions that actually come in.

Frequently asked questions

Helpdesk software for SMEs — FAQ

What's the difference with classic helpdesk software?

Classic helpdesk software (like Zendesk or Freshdesk) is built around ticket handling: queues, SLAs, routing and reporting for large support teams. Sarrai turns it around: instead of clearing as many tickets as possible, it makes sure customers and colleagues find their answer straight away — through a knowledge base that keeps itself current. For an SME that saves a lot of overhead you'd never use anyway.

How does Sarrai keep the knowledge base current itself?

Sarrai listens in on every question that comes in and spots where your knowledge base has a gap or is out of date. Based on your existing content it proposes a concrete article draft in your approval inbox. You approve or adjust it — nothing goes live without your sign-off. That way your help centre stays current without anyone having to put time into it every week.

Does Sarrai charge per ticket or per seat?

No. Many classic helpdesks charge per seat and per resolved ticket, so your bill goes up exactly when things get busy. Sarrai works with one fixed monthly price that includes every feature — no cost per ticket, no cost per resolved AI question. You know in advance what you'll pay, even as you grow.

How much does helpdesk software for an SME cost?

Helpdesk software for SMEs starts at Sarrai from €149 per month, with every feature included and without per-ticket fees. You can try it free for 30 days and cancel monthly. The full pricing breakdown is on our pricing page, and in the price comparison you can work through your own scenario.

Is Sarrai suitable for small SME teams?

Sarrai is built specifically for SMEs and scale-ups of roughly 5 to 100+ employees. You don't need a separate support team or an IT project: the helpdesk is live in an afternoon and grows with your team, without you paying for enterprise features you don't use.

How quickly is the helpdesk live?

Rolling out a classic helpdesk often takes weeks of configuration and training. Sarrai gets you live with your existing content: you drop one snippet of code on your site (comparable to Google Analytics) and the public knowledge portal sits on its own URL.

Is Sarrai a Belgian company and GDPR-proof?

Yes. Sarrai is a Belgian company, built in Belgium. All data is processed and stored within the EU (servers at Combell in Belgium), your content doesn't train any AI models, and a data processing agreement (DPA) is available as standard.

What's the difference with the page on customer service software?

They overlap, but the emphasis differs. Our page on customer service software for SMEs starts from the AI chatbot that answers customer questions automatically. This page starts from the helpdesk itself: how you keep your knowledge base current without a heavy ticketing system. Under the hood it's the same Sarrai platform.
