How the desk is built

Three tiers, one team

Most providers sell you a call centre and call it IT support. We staff the full ladder, so a ticket gets solved at the right level instead of bouncing.

Tier 1 · First contact

The volume layer, trained on your product and your top twenty issues. Over 80% of these close on the first interaction, without an escalation. Account access, connectivity, guided walk-throughs, triage and accurate routing.

Tier 2 · Deeper diagnosis

Configuration errors, software bugs and workarounds, remote diagnostics, and the things that need someone to actually read the logs and write a clean reproduction.

Tier 3 · Engineering grade

System architecture questions, API and integration issues, security incidents and root cause analysis, handled by people who can hold their own with your developers.

How tickets reach us

Every issue lands in one queue and gets worked to close

This is a ticket led desk. Whatever channel an issue arrives on, it is logged, tracked against your SLA and closed inside your ticketing system.

The ticket queue

We work inside your existing ticketing system, on your queues, your priority rules and your service levels.

Email intake

Support inboxes are triaged into tickets and answered with clear written steps the user can act on.

In-app and live chat

Chat and in-app messages are handled live, then logged as tickets so the history stays in one place.

Knowledge base and self-service

Agents write and update help articles from real tickets, so common issues get solved before they hit the queue.

Monitoring and alerts

Alerts from your monitoring tools raise tickets the desk triages and works to your runbook.

Phone for the urgent cases

When an issue needs a voice on it, agents pick up, then log the call and the fix as a ticket.

What we do

A support desk that works in your tools

The desk is staffed, trained and supervised by us, and it lives inside your stack rather than beside it. Agents learn your product before they take a single ticket, then work your queues and your escalation paths.

How the desk runs

A technical desk with real queue discipline

Agents are trained on your product before they take a ticket. Here is how the desk is run once your team is live, and how it holds up as volume grows.

SLA and queue discipline

Tickets are worked to your priority rules and response targets, and the queue is reported on daily rather than at month-end.

Escalation and handover

Tier 3 owns architecture, API and security work. When a ticket needs your engineers, it reaches them through your escalation path with the diagnosis already done.

Ticket quality and reproduction

Every escalated ticket carries steps to reproduce, logs, environment detail and what has already been ruled out.

Runbooks kept current

Fixes are written up as they happen. Runbooks and knowledge base articles are updated weekly so the next agent closes it in one touch.

The model
White label, from the first reply to the last invoice.

We recruit, train, house and manage your dedicated team at our Somerset West facility. They work in your systems, answer as you and report to your KPIs. Most of our clients’ customers have no idea we are here.

Why South Africa

A technical desk that runs where the talent is

Your support day, extended

South African hours line up with the UK and overlap the US working day. Tickets raised overnight are picked up early, so the queue is already moving before your own team logs in.

Eight languages on the queue

Tickets, chats and calls are handled in eight languages, with every agent tested to C1. Written English is strong enough for clear ticket notes and step by step instructions users can follow.

A deep technical bench

3,800 pre-screened people sit in the talent pool, so all three tiers are staffed from real technical experience. Teams are trained and live in about 14 days from our Somerset West facility.

The same people, longer

Our churn sits at 7%. The industry runs at 30 to 37%.

On a technical desk, that shows up in the tickets. Agents build real depth in your product, so fewer issues climb to Tier 2 or land on your engineers. Runbooks and knowledge base articles stay current because the people who wrote them are still here. Your team explains the system once, not every quarter.

Good questions

Before you ask

Is this a ticket desk or a phone desk?

A ticket desk. Everything is logged, tracked against your SLA and closed inside your ticketing system, whether it arrived by email, chat, an alert or a phone call.

They are trained on it before they take a single ticket, and because our churn sits around 7% that knowledge stays on the desk. Runbooks and knowledge base articles are kept current by the same people who wrote them.

Yours. Zendesk, Jira Service Management, Freshservice, HubSpot, ServiceNow and others. We work in your instance so your reporting and history stay in one place.

Through your existing escalation path, with the diagnosis done. Every escalated ticket carries steps to reproduce, logs, environment detail and what has already been ruled out.

Yes, and it is agreed up front and staffed properly rather than left to an on-call rota. Extended and weekend cover are both available.

Anything from a two-person desk supporting one product to a full three-tier operation. Ticket volume and the complexity of your stack tell us far more than company size does. Share a month of ticket data and we will map the desk to it.
