Ticketing system – what is it?
A ticketing system is used to handle Customer and employee requests that originate from many different communication sources and/or applications or software. It integrates several different environments and sorts them into specific categories. It also allows for the appropriate segregation of requests according to their priorities. Each request entered into the system is assigned an appropriate “ticket”, i.e. a tag that helps to identify the request. One request is one ticket. Each ticket contains information about the request, including a description of the problem, the sender’s contact information, status, and priority. The goal is to improve technology support processes, respond more quickly to Customer needs, shorten the complaint process, and – most importantly – organize the processes involved in managing user requests.
Ticketing system for companies – whose needs does it meet?
Any area of business can benefit from using a ticketing system. This solution perfectly meets the needs of HR departments, allowing employees to submit holiday or business trip requests using a “ticket”, all kinds of support platforms, which a gain space to inform about necessary repairs, or accounting departments, transferring documents between relevant structures for approval. These are just a few examples, as modern ticketing systems, properly integrated with a technological infrastructure, offer support in the workflow of various business processes and areas. Development teams can also benefit from their support. IT ticketing systems are currently one of the most important working tools in this industry, and their functionalities have a huge impact on the dynamic development of technology companies.
There is no doubt that this type of technology is becoming more and more popular. The number of instant messengers through which users report problems and needs related to systems or activities of specific companies is growing. Enterprises are also equipped with numerous devices and applications that require regular maintenance and systematization of the information flowing between their structures. Therefore, many organizations are faced with the need to equip their infrastructure with a ticketing system. Modern enterprises are looking for efficient and functional solutions that help them integrate requests from many sources into one convenient and responsive environment.
How does a ticketing system work?
A ticket management system is based on a centralized and integrated platform that users or Customers use to communicate needs and issues, track work progress, and complete and close orders. This technology enables effective ticket management, giving organizations the ability to effectively respond to customer needs as well as monitor and improve service quality.
A ticketing system works in the following order:
- Reporting a problem/need – users report a problem/need via the ticketing system.
- Creating a “ticket” – the system automatically generates a “ticket” and assigns it a unique identifier.
- Assigning priorities – users authorized to administer “tickets” assign a priority to each ticket, which defines how urgent a particular request is.
- Delegating tasks – the request is assigned to appropriate users or entire teams to work on its resolution.
- Monitoring the status – users who create a “ticket” and are responsible for its resolution can track the progress of activities performed on it; the assigned statuses are, for example: “new”, “under review”, “in progress”, “closed”.
- Communication – users who report and handle “tickets” can communicate and update each other on the progress of the work, or ask for details about ongoing activities.
- Report history – each “ticket” has a history in the system that includes communication, status changes, and a list of users involved in its management.
- Analyses and reports – ticketing tools allow one to conduct analyses and generate reports on employee efficiency, time spent on a particular request, or factors affecting request completion.
- Automation – advanced and modern ticketing systems offer the ability to automate certain stages of work on tickets, activities, or processes.
- Closing the ticket – when work on a “ticket” is completed, the user who created the request or a support service employee closes it, but the information about the ticket is still stored in the system and can be accessed by authorized persons.
