In ServiceNow, the Service Catalog is the primary module where users can order services and products offered by various departments. The Service Catalog provides a centralized portal for users to browse and request IT, HR, Facilities, Finance, and other departmental services in a structured and automated way.
The Service Catalog is a self-service interface where users can request predefined services, products, and resources.
It acts as a digital storefront for an organization's internal and external services.
Each service request follows a workflow that may include approvals, task assignments, and fulfillment processes.
Service Offerings:
Users can request hardware (laptops, mobile devices, monitors), software, access permissions, or HR-related services (e.g., PTO requests, onboarding).
Structured Request Fulfillment:
Each request follows a workflow with assigned tasks to the appropriate fulfillment teams.
Example: A request for a new laptop is routed to IT Support for approval and processing.
Automation and Approvals:
Some catalog items require managerial or departmental approvals before fulfillment.
Example: Requesting access to restricted applications might need approval from an IT admin.
Integration with Incident, Change, and Asset Management:
The Service Catalog can trigger change requests, incidents, and asset updates as part of the fulfillment process.
