Automatic SLA monitoring: track response and resolution times in real-time. Trigger escalations before SLAs are breached.
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are contractual promises to your customers — and their compliance is directly linked to customer retention and revenue. Yet SLA monitoring is performed manually or not at all in many companies. Support managers check an Excel spreadsheet once a week and discover that multiple SLAs have already been breached — when it's long too late.
The problem lies in complexity: different customers have different SLAs (Standard: 24h response time, Premium: 4h, Enterprise: 1h). Different ticket categories have different targets (P1 incidents: 30 minutes, P2: 4 hours, P3: 24 hours). Manually monitoring all these combinations in real-time is simply impossible with more than 50 tickets per day.
The consequences of SLA violations are substantial: contractual penalty payments can quickly reach four-figure amounts per month. Even more expensive is the loss of trust: enterprise customers who repeatedly experience SLA breaches cancel their contracts — and losing an enterprise customer costs 5-25x more than new customer acquisition.
Our SLA monitoring workflow monitors every open ticket in real-time against customer-specific SLA targets. The system knows each customer's individual contract details and calculates the remaining time until SLA breach down to the second.
Proactive escalations are triggered automatically: at 75% of consumed SLA time, the assigned agent receives a warning. At 90%, the team lead is notified. Just before the deadline, the ticket is automatically reassigned to an available senior agent — with all necessary context for a fast resolution.
A real-time dashboard shows the current SLA status of all open tickets, SLA compliance rate by customer, team, and category, and trends over time. Monthly SLA reports are automatically generated and can be sent directly to enterprise customers as proof of service quality.
Yes, you can define any number of SLA tiers (e.g., Basic, Premium, Enterprise) with different response and resolution times per ticket priority. Each customer is assigned to a tier.
Yes, the workflow considers business hours, holidays, and time zones. For 24/7 SLAs, the timer runs continuously; for business-hours SLAs, only working time is counted.
Monthly reports are automatically generated as branded PDFs showing: SLA compliance rate, average response and resolution time, ticket volume, and trend analysis. These can be automatically sent to the customer via email.
We analyze your process and show you the concrete savings potential — no strings attached.
