happy to help

Pleased to assist

Happy to help is a polite expression indicating willingness to assist, often used when accepting a request or responding to thanks: Could you look this over? —Happy to help.

The phrase has become somewhat formulaic in customer service contexts, where it may sound rote rather than genuine.
