The EcholoN helpdesk software has its focus on internal IT with user support and also full support for external customer support. Thus, EcholoN is the IT department's interface to its colleagues and, at the same time, the helpdesk team's central point of contact to the customer. EcholoN can be used in any type of company, from small or medium-sized service providers, trading companies or machine and plant manufacturers to large corporations.
Organisationally, it is ensured in the user and customer service that contact for support tasks is always made via the central help desk solution, because it is the link to the specialists. It carries out the so-called "first level support". Unbureaucratic support and speed are in the foreground here.
The primary goal is to maintain the business processes. The EcholoN Help Desk software is the optimal support for employees and customers.
"He who sees a need and waits to be asked for help is as unkind as if he had refused it." Dante Alighieri

General understanding of tasks in the helpdesk
The focus is on resuming the business process. The cause is rectified after work can continue.
Example: A printer does not have to be "sent in" immediately, but can be used as a "workaround" to continue printing by assigning a different printer.
The help desk is a service provider within the company and demonstrates its importance in the business process by responding quickly and solving problems. For this reason, help desk software should include basic functions such as ticketing, CRM, self-service and more. As a web-based helpdesk solution with modules and extensions, EcholoN offers everything you need for first-class customer service.
Possible organization in the help desk
Quick assumptions of support requests
- The enquirer is recognised directly. All IT services used (workstation, printer, applications) are known through a connection to the inventory solution.
- Questions about existing support requests are answered quickly. Forwarding to the specialist colleague takes place directly.
- Requests are recorded via a logically structured dialogue that leads through the entire recording process.
- Incoming customer e-mails in the inbox are processed into a case (ticket creation). All contents, such as embedded screenshots or attachments, are transferred to this process. This way, no information can get lost. The same happens with support requests via the service portal with the selfhelp, the incoming phone call or the chat - request from the live chat. All primary communication channels are automatically handled in standard and real time (integration of live chats). The processing of a ticket is also reflected in the ticket history. Depending on requirements, entries in the ticket history are differentiated between public and non-public. Ticket management is carried out in clear dashboards that are managed via roles.
- The enquirer automatically receives the summary of his enquiry and corresponding notifications in an email, in the customer portal. Chats are playing an increasingly important role in direct customer service, enabling you to quickly improve customer satisfaction.
- The enquirer is automatically informed about the developments of his process.
- Already solved cases and the integrated knowledge database support the analysis and the search for solutions.
- Forwarding and tracking: If the enquiry is passed on to the "second level", the service desk is the link and it continues to be responsible for tracking.
Helpdesk Reports
EcholoN is not only powerful and can increase customer loyalty. Through various analysis functions, important key figures can also be read out, which can be important for the optimisation of your business processes.
- Initial Solution Rate: The Helpdesk should be able to solve about 80% of requests in such a manner that the business process is not disrupted further.
- Information base for proactive handling: The help desk accumulates all relevant data to detect changes and threats to the core business at an early stage and avert them from the company.
- Meaningful reporting provides information about achieving your own goals (KPI).
