Use Case Example

Ticket system - digital control of support requests

Supply and demand form the basis of business performance. If demand is high, business is good. Sounds obvious, but if inquiries in the form of requests, feedback or complaints are not processed effectively and business processes are not adapted flexibly and promptly to market changes, frustration and poor ratings can be the result. These damage the company's offerings in the long term. A digital ticket system provides a remedy.

Collecting requests from customers, partners and suppliers in an e-mail inbox is often not enough to process tickets professionally. Often, different data and information is needed that must be manually retrieved from CRM and ERP systems and exchanged by e-mail or telephone without appropriate automation. This can result in employees sending requests multiple times or performing actions twice. A helpdesk system can help prioritize and correctly assign requests and ensure more transparency about the process flow. This increases satisfaction on all sides, both internally and externally.

What is helpdesk software / helpdesk system?

Helpdesk software or a helpdesk system is a common term for a ticket system that combines the processing of customer, partner and supplier requests. Ideally, software is used for this purpose, but it does not have to be. Often, the helpdesk term simply describes the process of distributing requests to the appropriate individuals who should respond to them.

JobRouter® - much more than a helpdesk system

The JobRouter® digital automation platform streamlines IT service order processing. Whether it's a new request, a change, the reporting of an error or just a simple inquiry, you can map all scenarios with a JobRouter® ticket process and work with it as if it were helpdesk software.

You initiate the processing of requests by the support team either by e-mail or by means of a JobRouter® start step. JobRouter® has a monitoring system that provides live information about the current status of the request as well as information about the processor and previous interactions. In addition, the platform automatically informs the requester of any changes or progress. The fact that communication on a case is logged in full minimizes inquiries - while at the same time increasing transparency over all.

Track time

You can store a "live counter" in the header of the ticket process. This allows you to record the time spent to the second. This facilitates billing and increases transparency.

Keep track of requests

With the help of a Kanban board, you can move requests to a new status using drag-and-drop. This gives you, for example as a department manager, a simple overview of how many requests are new, unprocessed, or already completed.
