Customer Service automation

Automated Ticket Assignment

Reads incoming support requests from email, chat, phone and portals, tags category and priority, and assigns each ticket to the best-suited available agent while balancing workload.

The business problem

Manual triage wastes time and tickets often reach the wrong person. Some agents are overloaded while others are idle. Urgent tickets can sit unassigned.

The manual process today

Where the time goes before automation:

  1. A team lead reads each new ticket
  2. Decides category and priority by judgement
  3. Assigns tickets by hand
  4. Reassigns misrouted tickets later
