Ticketing System | Contact Center
We follow Ticketing tool, where each technical team member has his own login.
Whenever a client sends an Email, we get a ticket raised in the ticketing tool.
Based on the request from each client, the ticket gets segregated to each department and rest is taken care of by the concerned team.
In Ticketing Tool, each member is linked to the team he is associated with (like Oracle team, MS-SQL team … etc).
In our ticketing tool, all the issues of each client get deposited, then our team will check and resolve the tickets in the provided SLA time.
For each team member, we have enabled KRA in the ticketing tool, which helps management to analyze the performance of each member.
Ticketing tool has the capacity to store information like:
- Each member has spent how much time on each ticket.
- Did any member has escalated any ticket to his senior.
- How may tickets each member has closed in a month.
- For how many tickets SLA is violated by each member.
Based on the tickets count we receive from each client, we can analyse the quality of service we offer to them (Managedment purpose).
