Ticket routing is a crucial part of any customer support system. Here’s the why and how you can improve it.
Ticket what?
First of all: what is ticket routing?
In the customer support world, ticket routing is the process of assigning the ticket to the right person or department. Not everyone speaks the same language or knows the same about the product. That’s why it’s important to make sure an issue ends up with someone who can handle it well.
Ticket dispatching is typically done manually. For Zendesk: all tickets end up in one big inbox, are then tagged manually, and are assigned to someone based on some criteria.
This process takes a lot of time and slows down response time which makes it costly for a business. Automated ticket routing makes this a problem of the past.
Why ticket routing?
Good ticket routing makes it possible to deliver faster and better customer support. Two ingredients for good customer support are speed and accuracy. By assigning automatically to the right agent your business is possible of delivering even better support.
Automatic ticket routing means also less manual work involved which is costly for companies. By automating this process businesses can deliver top-notch customer support at lower costs.
Why AI
AI is changing the game in how we deliver customer support. AI is especially good at automating repetitive tasks where ticket routing is an example. Doing it automatically makes it much more scalable while also making it less time-consuming.
Using machine learning algorithms makes it possible for every incoming ticket in Zendesk to be tagged and categorized with language, sentiment, and topic. Making sure the right tickets are delivered to the right person all the time.
How does this work in zendesk?
