Directory overview
About this guide
List the channels through which customers contact you and how requests are currently assigned. Test whether the help desk keeps ownership clear when an enquiry moves between team members. Consider how related conversations, attachments and internal notes are presented to the people doing the work.
Compare automation, permissions, reporting and knowledge-base features in the plan you would purchase. Try importing sample records and exporting them again before moving a full history. Define escalation and response processes alongside the software; a ticketing system cannot decide service priorities for your business on its own.
