Three Ways to Scale Your Ticketing Process

In today's fast-paced and technology-driven world, scaling and streamlining the ticketing process has become essential to every Managed Service Providers (MSPs) business. Efficiently handling tickets and delivering exceptional customer support is what every MSP strives for. However, a bustling service desk doesn't always mean that business is booming, and it certainly doesn't always show your business value or help deliver the customer service you're striving for. With service desks becoming increasingly overwhelmed, MSPs need solutions to help them cut through the noise and manage their clients more efficiently and at scale. This is where a solution like CloudRadial can help.

CloudRadial's Client Services Automation (CSA) solution provides MSPs with a comprehensive platform that consolidates all client touchpoints into one single pane of glass. With its intuitive self-service client portal and powerful automations, MSPs can achieve optimized service delivery, automated account management, and increased client satisfaction. CloudRadial's unique self-service features enable MSPs to streamline and enhance the ticketing process while maximizing service desk efficiency. Let's take a look at how CloudRadial achieves this.

1. Self-Service

With a robust self-service platform like CloudRadial and its Smart Ticketing features, you can equip your clients with the tools they need to effortlessly submit tickets and detailed information to communicate more effectively. This eliminates wait times and provides instant access to critical information, such as ticket statuses and license metrics. CloudRadial's CSA enables clients to submit tickets through the self-service portal via web, desktop, or Microsoft Teams. Customized forms with dynamic questions streamline the process, capturing all necessary details for faster resolution. Triage becomes a breeze as tickets are directed to the right department, complete with the required information, reducing delays and mistakes. By embracing self-service ticketing, you revolutionize communication, increase efficiency, and provide exceptional support. Empower your clients, streamline your ticketing process, and unlock the full potential of your MSP.

2. Automation

CloudRadial's self-service portal is a game-changer when it comes to streamlining the ticketing process. By implementing this powerful tool, MSPs can significantly enhance both the front-end ticketing process and backend functions. With automation CloudRadial can process the end user's response, gets pre-approval, seamlessly run it through the PSA, and even route to Teams, Slack or a JSON webhook for additional communication, and even resolve the ticket automatically. To enhance further, add on the thread integration to create tickets from chat into the PSA or add on our TimeZest integration to schedule time with your technicians. By redirecting tickets into a more productive self-service format, CloudRadial ensures a highly scalable ticketing process. It reduces mean time to resolution (MTTR), decreases the need for manual labor, and even eliminates certain tickets altogether.

3. The Future is Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Many IT vendors, like our add-on integration with CrushBank, are working hard to bring AI solutions into the ticketing process, aiming to streamline operations. These tools offer valuable insights and tap into the vast pool of previous tickets to identify the most appropriate response for each current ticket. Even when a ticket cannot be resolved solely through technology, a self-service solution with effective triage capabilities excels at highlighting tickets that require human attention. AI quickly provides suggestions and insights to technicians, resulting in faster mean time to resolution (MTTR). While these AI tools are still evolving, they are becoming increasingly proficient at ingesting relevant information for useful triage and offering the best possible suggestions. As these platforms mature, the value of AI in creating a highly scalable IT ticketing process will undoubtedly grow immensely.

By incorporating AI technology, the burden on human operators is reduced, expediting ticket resolution. The outcome is a ticketing process that is highly scalable, minimizing end-user frustration and maximizing the productivity of your team and customers. Ultimately, this empowers your MSP to deliver an exceptional client experience.

The journey towards scalability commences with routing tickets into a more efficient self-service format.
