1. Ticket Creation:

• Automatic Generation: When a customer reaches out via email, chat, or other channels, a support ticket is automatically created.
• Manual Creation: Support agents can manually create tickets for phone calls or walk-ins.

2. Ticket Categorization:

• Prioritization: Tickets are categorized based on urgency or importance, such as “high,” “medium,” or “low” priority.
• Tagging and Classification: Tickets are tagged or classified by type of issue, department, or product line to route them to the appropriate team or agent.

3. Assignment and Routing:

• Automatic Assignment: Based on predefined rules, tickets can be automatically routed to the most suitable agent or department.
• Manual Assignment: Support managers or agents can manually assign tickets to specific team members.

4. Tracking and Monitoring:

• Status Updates: Tickets are updated with statuses like “open,” “in progress,” “on hold,” or “closed” to track their lifecycle.
• Audit Trails: A log of all actions taken on a ticket, including agent notes, customer interactions, and status changes.

5. Communication and Resolution:

• Agent-Customer Interaction: Agents communicate with customers via the ticketing system to provide updates, ask for more information, or offer solutions.
• Knowledge Base Integration: Agents can use or share resources from an integrated knowledge base to resolve issues more efficiently.

6. Escalation:

• Escalation Protocols: If a ticket is not resolved within a certain time frame or if it requires higher-level intervention, it can be escalated to senior support staff or specialized departments.

7. Resolution and Closure:

• Resolution Documentation: Once an issue is resolved, agents document the solution and communicate it to the customer.
• Ticket Closure: The ticket is closed once the customer confirms satisfaction or if no further action is required.

8. Reporting and Analytics:

• Performance Metrics: Reporting tools provide insights into key metrics like average resolution time, ticket volume, and customer satisfaction.
• Continuous Improvement: Analytics help identify patterns in customer issues and areas for improvement in the support process.

9. Integration with Other Systems:

• CRM Integration: Tickets are often integrated with customer relationship management (CRM) systems to provide a comprehensive view of the customer.
• Automation Tools: Automation can streamline repetitive tasks, such as sending follow-up emails or updating ticket statuses.

10. Customer Feedback:

• Surveys and Ratings: After a ticket is closed, customers might be asked to rate their experience or provide feedback, which helps improve service quality.
