Build a support ticket system — structured support that doesn't live in your inbox.
When customer support lives in email, nothing is trackable, nothing is assignable, and nothing has an SLA. A support ticket system gives your team a structured queue with assignment, priority, and resolution tracking.
Operations manager or SaaS founder who handles customer support in email or Slack and needs a structured ticket system with tracking and SLAs
Zendesk is $55/agent/month. Freshdesk has a free tier that ends at scale. Intercom is $74/seat/month. If you have a small support team and a specific workflow, the SaaS options are expensive relative to what you actually need.
What support in email and Slack costs:
- Tickets get lost in email threads
- No visibility into which issues are open and which are resolved
- SLA violations happen without any tracking mechanism
- Reporting is impossible — no data on volume, type, or resolution time
- New team members can't see the history of a customer's issues
When a custom support system makes sense: You have a defined support workflow. You have specific categories of issues. You need SLA tracking. You have internal teams who need to be assigned issues. Your customers need visibility into their own ticket status.
