TicketWorx

The issue

Companies that serve large amounts of customers with complex products (esp. TelCo) have complex customer service processes: Many organizational units (service center, disposition, field, contractors) & many customer interactions (non-/technical, many channels).

Most of them use trouble ticket systems to manage these processes, sometimes standard (e.g. Remedy) but often enough proprietary. The focus and thus strength of these systems is often operational process management and not reporting, monitoring & analytics. If they do have analytics capabilities, they are very expensive when it comes to total licensing costs, which medium-sized firms cannot or do not want to afford.

However, the need for monitoring & deep-dive analytics is growing as increasing customer numbers and higher switching rates make good customer service a key differentiator.

Main functionality areas

Functional area

Information needs covered

Ticket counting

How many tickets are coming in or being resolved across a multitude of dimensions (job class, job type, organizational units, various time cuts, region, etc.)? Trend over time?

Ticket timing

 

What is the runtime of tickets? Do average runtimes increase or decrease?
How of tickets decomposed (e.g. driving time, waiting time etc.)?

Ticket aging

 

What is the age structure of tickets currently in the system? Do we have many long-time tickets, which drag down the average resolution time? What are trends over time?

Ticket flow

 

How do tickets move through the organization? How long do tickets "sit" at each unit involved an ticket handling? Can we identify process inefficiencies here?

Benchmarking

 

How do internal units (Field, Dispo; in various cuts, e.g. Area/Region etc.) fare against standarized benchmarks such as Tickets resolved in 48h? What share of tickets is resolved within or outside benchmark times?
Individual Performance Measurement How does each employee perform against his/her individual performance KPIs as set in the contract? What is each person's overall achievement based on all individual KPIs?
Subcontractor Performance Measurement How do individual Subs perform against standardized KPIs as set out individual contracts? What are the financial implications in terms of bonus/malus?

Churn

 

On a customer level, how are ticket indicators developing that have been analytically identified as being relevant for a customer's cancellation decision.
