Service Desk SLAs

Kayako, a modern ClickDesk competitor, makes it easy to honor Service Level Agreements for customers you support. Set team goals for ticket response time and ticket resolution time. Kayako then sends automated reminders to agents to ensure they never miss a deadline.

Use the SLA status to keep track of tickets in real time, so that agents can grab tickets that are about to expire. Or set up automated messaging to customers before or after certain SLA time limits have been hit.

Track Hours And Productivity

Understanding where your agents spend their time is a step towards optimizing your support team. Log the time agents spend on conversations across multiple channels. Visualize agent performance and workload balance with at-a-glance reporting dashboards. Measure productivity, identify which customers require the most support resources and tally up billable hours.

In addition to tracking the time your agents have worked and billed against conversations, you can also export records through custom reports. Kayako makes time spent supporting customers, even across multiple channels, easy to account for and bill.

Smart Routing™

Automatically route tickets to the appropriate agent or team when you have multiple channels, brands or support types to manage. For example, if you have one support agent charged with handling Twitter support, you can use a trigger to automatically assign any communication that comes in via Twitter to that agent. You can also use automation to send notifications to certain agents or teams to remind them about conversations that need their attention or alert them that a conversation has been opened by a high-profile customer.
