FAQ · Helpdesk

When is it time for a real helpdesk app?

When support volume makes a shared email inbox lossy — typically as orders climb into a steady daily flow and "where is my order" tickets repeat. A helpdesk earns its fee by putting order data next to every conversation, templating the repetitive answers, and pulling chat and social messages into one queue. Before that point, a disciplined inbox plus saved replies is honestly enough.
