Solution · Customer
Helpdesk with the full customer story in one screen
Support agents need context: what the customer bought, when it shipped, whether it's under warranty, what they paid. In standalone helpdesk tools, that means switching between systems.
Overview
Why this area matters
An ERP helpdesk puts tickets next to orders, deliveries, invoices and contracts, so agents can resolve issues faster and create returns, repairs or credits directly.
01Typical problems

04 — Technical notes
Design decisions worth getting right
Tickets should link to the specific order or serial number involved, not just the customer. That enables warranty checks and product-quality analysis.
AI-assisted drafting can be added on top once the data links are in place.
