The Challenge

Each of the worldwide locations, or each department within the HYDRO Systems KG locations, had been using its own e-mail address, which led to a lack of transparency, confusion and too many points of contact for customers.

The Solution

Excellent first level support and the introduction of the professional work structuring and communication solution from OTRS ensured a noticeable increase in the optimization of service request handling

The mobile accessibility and improved search functions have been huge improvements for our team. We're really able to work faster and handle customer requests on-the-go now.

The fact that we are expanding OTRS to other departments is proof that security made the right choice; it’s fast, flexible, reliable and easy.

The Challenge

The software supporting the services for citizens was predominantly organized in a decentralized manner in the Berlin youth welfare offices of the 12 districts until the introduction of centralized IT specialist procedures.

The Solution

The ISBJ unit provides uniform specialized procedures for each youth welfare office, ensures smooth operation, and, with the help of OTRS, is the central point of contact in the event of malfunctions and for addressing service requests.

There are many possibilities within OTRS, but even simply using the help desk functionality has made such a difference in terms of how quickly and thoroughly we're able to help people

Tickets/Month: 2,000

The Challenge

The ITSM solution used until 2017 was technologically insufficient as a support solution. It lacked transparency, led to communication outside the tool, and employees who were dissatisfied with the interface.

The Solution

High transparency in inquiry handling, efficient escalation processes and structured communication – the use of OTRS leads to increased service quality and satisfied employees and customers.

With OTRS, we were able to create transparency where none existed before. This has significantly optimized our work. In addition, we can now access professional support when needed.

The Challenge

An outdated ((OTRS)) Community Edition hosted by an external service provider created extra hosting costs and maintenance, and the system was not updated as needed.

The Solution

Above all, we wanted to go live with a global solution very quickly, and OTRS made this possible: It only took 12 weeks from the day we chose OTRS to its productive start.

Metal Industry
We have been able to double our telephone support availability by using a call center and OTRS, while keeping costs the same. With the connection of OTRS via web service into our system landscape, the process has been digitalized and we can now work faster and paperless.
Nicolas Hoffmann, project manager and main person responsible for the implementation of OTRS

Salvagnini Deutschland GmbH

Agents: 25
Tickets/Month: 250

The Challenge

Customer inquiries were received exclusively by an external call center and were not recorded or classified uniformly. Due to the call center's data management, the potential of OTRS could not be fully exploited. Logical linking, inquiry evaluation and a web-based customer portal were not possible due to the lack of integration of customer and machine data.

The Solution

With the expertise of OTRS experts, the call center software was connected. Customers can now create tickets themselves and have insight into their inquiry at any time.

Non-Profit Organizations
With OTRS as our central helpdesk solution, we can respond quickly to inquiries and offer our volunteers a first-class service.
