Service Desk
Overview
A typical service desk team effectively performs several functions for a company. It provides a single (or multiple) point of contact for users to gain assistance in troubleshooting, get answers to questions and solve problems. A service desk generally manages its requests through the use of software such as issue tracking system. The Service Desk module (sometimes referred to as the ticketing module) is an issue tracking management solution with similar features to many common ticketing systems being used today.
The Emersion Service Desk module gives service providers the ability to:
- offer customers the ability to log faults, issues or questions to a selection of predefined ticket queues.
- view, access and action tickets for a customer.
- communicate back and forth with a customer via a ticket keeping all essential correspondence within the ticket.
- assign and reassign tickets to other staff users.
- link a ticket to services to assist in isolating what a ticket might be about.
- Leverage the ticket 'status' to manage escalations.
The Service Desk module comes in two packages that are sold separately. All subscribers benefit from the features above, regardless of which package they subscribe to. The two available packages are:
- Retail Service Desk - This is for Retail Service Providers and is fully integrated into the End User Portal allowing end users to create and manage tickets themselves.
- Wholesale Service Desk - This extends the Retail service desk offering to include ticket escalations to a Wholesale service provider if your wholesale service provider uses Emersion.
