SLA Metrics & Reports
Track team performance with SLA metrics: average first response time, number of replies to close the ticket, and ticket closing time.
Satisfaction ratings
Let clients rate your agent’s answers by clicking on happy, neutral, or sad emotikons added after replying. Then track satisfaction with reports.
Customizable templates
Adjust all: reply templates, autoresponders, canned replies, message templates, design, or different information visibility for each project.
Widget and REST API
You can use widget to receive reports from any page or create an incident reporting form using the REST API.
Before Helpdesk we tried Jira, Zendesk, Freshdesk, OTRS and Zammad. Zendesk does not support local installation. Hosted apps had privacy issues or were very expensive. All other systems also had other issues. So we decided to use Helpdesk plugin. Why? Price/functionality ratio is great, and the support gives fast responses with real solutions

Features
Customer information
Helpdesk is fully integrated with the Redmine Issues module and Redmine CRM plugin from RedmineUP. Looking at an issue, you see all customer information with tags, contact information, and previous customer tickets. All related contacts can be used to generate a CC list so you can send messages to them as well.
Reply directly from the Tickets
Respond to the ticket right from the Issues view page with one click. The reply use header and footer templates. You can use macros that include the ticket ID or name and surname of the person who answered to the message.
Turn Issues into tickets
The Helpdesk plugin extends functionality of the Issues List into Tickets. Now you can use Helpdesk filters to select certain issues and change the way they are displayed, such as with customer contact and last message text.
Automatic personal messages
Add automatic reply to a customer’s first message and easily customize it with templates and styles. Such autoreply can use macros, with ticket, employee or client's data.
Smart workflow automation
Worflow automates how upcoming or outgoing messages are handled according to given set ot rules and conditions. You can for example add high priority to messages from a specific client or containing the word "urgent". Or move the ticket to another project if an email was sent from a particular client or domain.
First Response SLA Report
This report lets you track the average first response time, count of replies send to close the ticket and ticket closing time. You can further filter it, according to your needs.

This report lets you track the when your support is under the biggest pressure from incming messages. It count quantity of created tickets and new contacts.
Automatically close resolved tickets
Resolved issues can be automatically closed if they do not receive any update or answer for a particular period. This helps to clear space from issues that have already been solved by your Support.
See client's feedback
Using "Voting" functionality, you let your customers vote for all received messages. Using three rates: 'Sad/Negative,' 'Neutral/OK,' 'Happy/Awesome", with the option to comment clents often share a precious feedback. LAter you can use it to generate a Satisfaction Report based on Net Promoter Score algoritm (NPS scale)
