Incident Management | OTOBO 1

Omnichannel Support

Enable employees to report incidents through their preferred channel. OTOBO allows to create incident tickets via email, phone or the self-service portal, which you can integrate into the organization’s intranet or website. Incoming emails are automatically converted into tickets.

Incident Management | OTOBO 2

Automatically prioritize tickets

OTOBO automatically prioritizes reports registered via the self-service portal, automatically routes them to the appropriate support team, automatically assigns valid SLAs, and groups tickets for analysis and reporting purposes.

Tickets documented over the phone are manually prioritized by service agents. Additional attributes can be assigned to further classify tickets.

Incident Management | OTOBO 3

Integrated Knowledge Base

Closely integrated with Incident Management, the knowledge database assists service teams in searching for previously documented solutions while handling an incident. Employees receive suggestions for solutions from the knowledge database while creating an incident report via the self-service portal or can independently research solutions without needing to wait for the service team. This shortens resolution time and improves service quality.

Dashboard and reports provide detailed insights into your IT service desk’ performance

Keep track of the performance of your IT Service Desk at all times. The dashboard provides responsible managers and service agents with an overview of key performance metrics and all tickets, including priority, status, assignee, and progress.

Swiftly respond to and resolve major incidents to bring business critical services back up

Serious disruptions to critical services require an immediate and coordinated response to minimize the impact on your business operations and restore the affected services or systems as quickly as possible.

With OTOBO, you can define custom Major Incident processes, individual escalations, and automatic notifications to handle disruptions of this category separately and ensure a swift resolution.

Bundle multiple reports on one topic into a single master ticket

When something goes wrong, user feedback is rarely long in coming. Unburden your service team from manually tackling the ensuing flood of tickets by consolidating incident reports with the same root cause into one master incident ticket.

All incidents (slave tickets) in OTOBO are linked to the master incident ticket. When your team resolves the master incident ticket, all slave tickets automatically change into the same status and their respective creators are informed.  Your service management team saves a lot of time.

Monitor and comply with Service Level Agreements (SLA)

Monitor service quality using Service-Level Agreements (SLAs). SLAs provide the ability to set response and resolution times, establish multi-level escalations based on work calendars, and incorporate template-based notifications that are automatically sent upon reaching certain thresholds or statuses.
