Allow customers to create new cases (trouble tickets) on a variety of case types (billing issues,
service outage, new products/services or general inquiries or questions).
You can create case queues and workflow rules, for case assignment and escalation,
which are applied to the cases created by customers from the customer portal. Service personnel
will be notified by email or SMS when a new case is auto-assigned to them.
Allow customers to track the status of all pending tickets and review the resolution of
all recent tickets that were successfully resolved.
Notify customers via email or SMS about case status changes.
Simply better customer support, timely resolution of issues, and improved customer retention.
