Open source ticket system OTOBO
Various challenges - one solution

Customer dashboard - all relevant information at a single glance
Clear, concise display of current tickets
Mit Integration eigener FAQ’s.
Self service portal for employees and customers alike
Single Point of Contact
OTOBO provides a modern employee and customer portal with a fully customizable Dashboard. The portal can thus be used as the central point to go for all topics relevant within a company. FAQmodule provides instant answers to frequently asked questions. That's great for service team and customers alike: your team don't have to deal with all cases and the customers get the information the are looking for very quickly.
Moreover, the portal is used to directly generate and work on tickets. Neat forms help collect all relevant information when creating the ticket. Targeted and very individually as they are created dynamically at run-time. Thus, messages requesting more information will be superfluous and all persons involved save precious time.
Use status notifications to inform customers and employees proactively and in a targeted manner about maintenance work or availiabilty of infrastructures.

Incident Management
Customer service
at the highest level
OTOBO ensures transparent and structured communication and more efficiency in your customer service. For example by making sure enquiries reach the right persons and by prioritising them based on predefined rules.
Response times are shortened by text modules and response templates. To make sure your service won't become anonymous, all templates and text modules can be individualised. The result: efficient customer service with a personal touch.
Moreover, the complete communication process and all resultant solutions are documented in the ticket. This makes working in teams easier and is audit-proof.

Service Level Management
SLA based response times
Customer requests, and thus tickets, have varying levels of urgency. Prioritising helps your Service Team to decide which incidents or enquiries need instant attention - and which ones can wait.
Reminders, pending time and intelligent escalation mechanisms based on your SLAs make sure that the service and response times agreed upon are met by escalating tickets beforehand to the right person if time gets short.
CMDB and Asset Management
All relevant info at a glance
Centrally manage your infrastructure and resources. Via the configuration management database – short CMDB – you can administer your complete inventory of IT infrastructure assets.
All those configuration items – short CIs – are gathered in your CMDB and presented with their relationships and interdependencies. In OTOBO, the CIs are also part of forms and ticket generation. Upon creating a ticket, customers can select the relevant device from a list with all elements assigned to them in the CMDB. The Service Team can directly access the information in the Agent Interface.
The CMDB controls your inventory of objects and products from hardware over software up to your vehicle fleet and machinery. It also provides important organisational and commercial information. User or departmental affiliations such as data about present value or purchase can be documented sustainably.
