What it is: Help desk and customer support

One register of requests, with deadlines that are met

A help desk records each customer request as a ticket, with priority, owner, service deadline (SLA), hours spent and a documented answer.

Without one, complaints arrive by email, WhatsApp and phone, and the team loses track of pending or overdue cases.

Signs your company needs one

  • Complaints arrive through several channels with no single register
  • Nobody knows how many cases are open or which are overdue
  • Service deadlines are not measured
  • Hours spent on each customer are not recorded
  • The same cases are investigated again and again
  • Customers call to ask about the status of their case
Who it is for

Company profile for help desk, and when it is not a fit

Good fit

  • You handle requests, warranty claims or complaints that take days to close.
  • You have contracts with committed response times.
  • You must answer Complaints Book (Libro de Reclamaciones) claims on time.

Poor fit

  • Most contacts are solved in one conversation: a contact center fits better.
  • Requests are internal project tasks: the Project app is enough.
  • Nobody owns case closure: the tool would only record the delay.
If nothing changes

The cost of staying as you are

  1. Cases that expire unnoticed

    With no deadline or alert, the customer finds out before you do that their case is late.

  2. Hours nobody bills

    If hours are not logged per customer, nobody knows which contracts make a margin and which eat it.

  3. Knowledge that walks out

    Every solution that lives in someone's head is investigated again when that person is not there.

DMG-RT method

Help desk analysis in four steps

Process and data first, the tool second. Each step ends in a deliverable you review.

Diego Muñoz, process and technology consultant
  1. Walk through ten real cases

    We follow ten recent requests from arrival to closure: channel, times, owners and rework.

  2. Categories, priorities and SLAs

    With your team we define categories customers understand, priorities and deadlines with working hours.

  3. Channels and connections

    We bring email, WhatsApp, web and phone into the same register and connect the help desk to your CRM and invoicing.

  4. Go-live with an indicator

    We start by measuring overdue tickets and SLA compliance, and review them weekly with the team during follow-up.

Services

From assessment to help desk implementation

We implement this type of system

Scope

We implement help desks with Odoo Helpdesk, or with Odoo Project when requests are worked as tasks, with SLAs, timesheets and satisfaction surveys. If your case calls for another platform, we compare options against your requirements.

Service design

Categories, priorities, SLAs, escalation and closure survey, written with your team.

Implementation in Odoo

Helpdesk, or Project with tasks as tickets, customer portal, timesheets and invoicing.

Knowledge base and channels

Email, WhatsApp and web form that create tickets automatically, and a knowledge base the team maintains.

Market

Market options for help desk

In no order of preference. The choice comes from your requirements, your budget and the systems you already have.

Odoo Helpdesk

Odoo Helpdesk includes teams, SLAs with working hours, a customer portal, a satisfaction survey and timesheets. When requests are project work, Odoo Project with tasks as tickets solves the same problem.

Other platforms we assess

  • Zendesk
  • Freshdesk
  • Jira Service Management
  • Salesforce Service Cloud
  • Zoho Desk
  • HubSpot Service Hub

Selection criteria

  • SLAs with working hours and holidays
  • Channels that create tickets automatically: email, WhatsApp, web
  • Timesheets connected to invoicing
  • A portal where customers see their case
Limits

Help desk limits and ways to cover them

  • A configured SLA does not shorten times by itself

    Overdue cases are reviewed every week with their cause.

  • The customer portal needs up-to-date statuses

    Someone is assigned to update statuses and the knowledge base.

  • The Libro de Reclamaciones has its own formal requirements

    The legal deadline is set up as an SLA and the format is reviewed with your legal team.

Online assessment

Help desk assessment: 35 questions, 9 minutes

This analysis measures how your company logs, prioritizes and resolves support requests and complaints, and how it links them to contracts, hours and SLAs. The questions describe observable situations at the helpdesk, during field visits and in client reporting.

Scored dimensions

  • Logging, priority and escalation. It observes whether each request enters as a ticket with number, category, priority and owner, and whether it escalates when its deadline passes.
  • Contract, hours and billing. It observes whether each ticket is linked to the client and its service contract, whether hours are logged per activity and whether they feed the invoice or hour bank.
  • SLA, status and acceptance. It observes whether the SLA is measured against the contract calendar, whether the client sees the status of their case and whether acceptance and reopenings are recorded.
  • Team knowledge and logging. It observes whether solutions are kept in a knowledge base, whether more than one person covers each case type and whether the team logs hours and notes the same day.
  • Statutory complaints and attachments. It observes whether complaints with a statutory response deadline are identified and whether the data and files the client attaches are accessed by role.

What you receive

When you finish, you receive your level in each helpdesk dimension and the gaps ranked by priority. Each gap comes with a first action you can verify in your tickets or service contracts.

17 scored questions and 13 context questions (type of operation, size, current system). Context questions are not scored: they let us read the result against similar operations.

Free of charge. Only Diego Muñoz sees your answers.
