Why do we need service desk reports?

How many times have you heard that data is powerful? Because it is. So why not use information that we already have in the service desk and use them to streamline ITSM decisions, boost customer support experience and keep an eye on agents’ performance.

What service desk data can you use? 

The key is to acquire the right data. What service desk metrics can help you with eliminating bottlenecks and staying ahead of heading down results?  

Average CSAT – Customer Satisfaction Score ⭐️

After ticket resolution customers can fill the agents’ evaluation. Monitor those statistics and compare data from different periods and analyze your agent's performance. Thanks to that you can observe your agents’ scores and allocate them in a more efficient way.  

How is it calculated? We take the average CSAT after the current assignee from a certain time.

Customer happiness is a powerful insight that can lead you to optimizing processes and findings that can take your team to the next level of customer support. 

Meeting SLA in percentage 💡

The real nightmare of all team leaders and agents is a queue full of breached SLAs. It takes a clear priorities path and well-organized system to take care of all tickets in exact time.

Don’t wait until your board gets reddish. React when the numbers are heading down and have prepared insights and solutions for your support team. Choose what you need - first time to respond, time to resolution or time to close after resolution – compare data, analyze and draw conclusions that can lead your agents to green light.

How is it calculated? Number of requests with the selected SLA metric met in comparison to all requests from the set period.

Breached SLA’s create chaos. With a service desk report you can assess how the support team is doing. Use information about it and be prepared for incidents. Create a high-velocity team that is highly effective in issue resolving.

Assets Structure 💻

To optimize corporate returns from its asset base, asset structure understanding is essential. The distribution of the entire asset base among the main asset categories, expressed as a percentage or proportion, is displayed by the asset structure. Take the most of it. 

Watch assets distribution and monitor their structure. Have constant access to the current asset base and maximize business return with this knowledge.

Use cases: 

• Structure of employees by type of employment 
• Structure of laptops and devices in the company based on operating system 
• Structure by type of software and licenses in the company

How is it calculated? Assets are segment by object type. You can use AQL to narrow down results.
