Helpdesk reporting, SLA tracking and ticket nudges

The built-in reports show averages. They don't tell you which 14 tickets are about to breach, who owns them, or that the same three have slipped for a month. We pull the raw tickets through the API, apply your rules, and put the result in front of the person who can act on it.

What goes wrong today

The symptoms we hear on the first call. If two of these sound familiar, this is the right page.

  • Stale tickets are tracked in a spreadsheet someone updates on Fridays.
  • The helpdesk's own analytics cap out (page limits, export limits) before you can see the whole queue.
  • Managers ask for the same week-over-week numbers every Monday, built by hand.
  • Canned replies go out with unfilled placeholders and nobody notices until the customer does.

What we build

Each piece is built in your environment, on your accounts, and can be adopted on its own.

Incremental sync

A watermark-based sync that keeps a local copy of every ticket current, working around API page caps. A helpdesk updating about 3,750 tickets a day stays in sync.

Queue engine

Every ticket is sorted into respond now, parked, aged or stale using your thresholds, and the thresholds are editable without a developer.

KPI dashboard

Role-based views (agent, lead, manager, director), aging buckets, per-agent workload, week-over-week deltas, drill-down links back to the ticket. Google Sheets or a web dashboard.

Nudges with an off switch

Owner reminders for aging tickets with a one-click ignore link per ticket, tracking of ignored versus acted, and tiered CC escalation if a ticket keeps slipping.

Wins

A weekly recognition email: top closer, most improved, top five. The same data, used to say thank you.

Quality checks

Detection of canned replies sent with unfilled placeholders, and optional AI scoring of replies (see AI quality assurance).

Walkthrough

Questions and pricing

If yours is not here, write to hello@tightlywired.com and we will answer within one business day.

Which helpdesks do you support?
Freshdesk and Zendesk are in production today. monday.com boards, Jira Service Management, HubSpot Service Hub, ConnectWise and Autotask all have APIs we can work with; the assessment confirms the fit.
Will agents feel policed?
The nudge design is deliberately polite: it goes to the owner first, it can be ignored per ticket with one click, and the weekly wins email uses the same numbers to recognise good work. Escalation only kicks in when a ticket keeps slipping.
Can we change the thresholds ourselves?
Yes. Aging buckets, SLA targets and escalation tiers live in a settings sheet or admin page, not in code.
What does the $600 a month cover?
We monitor the jobs, fix breaks when the helpdesk changes its API, and ship one small improvement a month (a new report, a new rule). You can cancel any time and keep the code.
