It's a scenario we've all experienced. You have an issue with a product or service and decide to reach out to the company for a solution. But instead of swift, efficient help, you're met with long wait times, endless email threads, and unresponsive support teams. It's frustrating, isn't it? More than that, it's a pain point that can turn loyal customers into lost opportunities.
The Plight of Modern Customers: Why Traditional Support Systems Fail
Let's face it: customer support, as it currently exists, is often a source of frustration, not relief. It's not uncommon for customers to find themselves stuck in a seemingly never-ending cycle of unhelpful interactions when they’re just looking for a solution to their problem.
Here are some typical pain points customers face when they have an issue with a company or organization:
Long Wait Times: Nothing feels quite as agonizing as waiting on hold for what feels like forever, only to be transferred multiple times without any resolution in sight.
Back-and-Forth Email Threads: Emails are supposed to make communication easier, but when you're dealing with a complex issue, they can quickly become a confusing mess of back-and-forth threads that lead nowhere.
Unresponsive Support Teams: There's perhaps nothing more frustrating than reaching out for help and hearing...nothing. Unresponsive support teams can leave customers feeling ignored and undervalued.
Difficulty Finding Contact Information: When you're already dealing with an issue, the last thing you want is to spend precious time hunting down elusive contact information.
Lack of Knowledgeable Support: When support teams lack knowledge about their products or how to solve problems, it can exacerbate customer frustration and prolong resolution times.
No Self-Help Resources: In the digital age, many customers prefer to troubleshoot issues themselves before reaching out for support. Without a comprehensive Knowledge Base or video archive, they're left in the lurch.
These pain points are not just inconvenient; they can seriously damage your brand's reputation and customer loyalty. So, what's the solution? Enter Issuetrak: a complaints management system designed to tackle these challenges head-on.
How Issuetrak's Complaint Management Software Transforms Customer Support
The pain points we discussed earlier can seem overwhelming, but they don't have to be. With the right tools in place, these challenges can become opportunities for growth and improvement. That's where Issuetrak's complaint management software comes into play.
1. Centralized, Efficient Feedback Management
At Issuetrak, we believe that each piece of customer feedback is a golden opportunity to improve your products and services. Our software provides a centralized platform for managing all customer feedback, eliminating the need for disjointed spreadsheets, endless email threads, and chaotic text/chat messages.
2. Collect All The Right Information With Webforms
Our intuitive Webforms are designed to help you collect all necessary information the first time around. Whether you choose a standard webform or a customized one that matches your brand, these public-facing forms ensure quick and easy submission with no login required.
3. Custom Forms and Omnichannel Feedback
With our User Defined Fields (UDFs), you can build complaint forms specific to the type of feedback being submitted. We also provide omnichannel feedback options, allowing customers to send emails, fill out webforms, and chat with support agents for a seamless complaint submission process. Plus our easy to launch surveys allow our clients to build surveys that capture customer satisfaction metrics and provide valuable feedback about the quality of your resolutions.
4. Automation and Quick Notes
Our automation features eliminate manual tracking, freeing up your time for other business areas. Our Quick Notes feature allows you to define blocks of text ahead of time, ensuring consistent messaging and fast response times.
5. Escalations and Notifications
Issuetrak streamlines the complaint resolution process by automatically escalating tickets and notifying employees or customers when complaints receive updates. This keeps everyone in the loop and speeds up the resolution process.
6. Digitized Reporting and Visual Dashboards
Our software provides digitized reporting and visual dashboards to quickly identify problem areas that need additional attention. Dashboard reports give you a snapshot of open complaints by type, assignment, priority, and more, making it easy to report on workload, resolutions, and more.
7. Knowledge Base Documentation
Issuetrak's Knowledge Base (KBase) empowers users to self-learn and troubleshoot problems, freeing up your agents for more pressing issues. KBase articles can be easily attached to issues and sent to users for clarity and swifter resolution. Plus, you can bookmark your favorite articles and receive updates whenever they are updated.
8. Standardized Process Management
Our Task Manager feature helps create checklists and branching workflows for step-by-step processes, notifying everyone involved when it's their turn to act. The Substatus feature allows agents to see at a glance how far along an issue is in the resolution chain, helping teams prioritize urgent items. Lastly, our round-robin ticketing routes tickets to the next agent in the queue, avoiding duplicated efforts and saving your business time and money.
In short, Issuetrak's complaint management software is designed to turn customer complaints into opportunities for growth and improvement. By addressing common pain points, we help businesses provide better support, improve customer satisfaction, and ultimately thrive in today's competitive market.

The ROI of Complaint Management Software
Investing in complaint management software like Issuetrak doesn't just solve immediate problems - it yields long-term returns in customer retention and operational efficiency. Let's explore how our software gives you an edge over competitors and why it's a smart investment for your business.
1. Ticket Visibility, Accountability, and Follow-Through
Complaint management software provides support teams with ticket visibility, accountability, and follow-through. This ensures that every customer ticket is moving forward towards resolution and keeps customers informed about the progress. For support teams struggling with directing incoming requests to the appropriate team member, our software is a cohesive solution that automates the overall support workflow process, ensuring no requests are overlooked or unanswered.
Unlike competitors like Freshworks which require you to buy multiple products to implement different processes, Issuetrak's centralized and multi-use system allows you to handle internal and external ticketing to track any kind of process, from HR issues to asset issues to customer complaints.
2. Automation and Efficiency
Automation takes away the headache of manual work. It replaces the heavy lifting of keeping track of shared email inboxes, spreadsheets, or paper forms, keeping teams on task, organized, and efficient when responding to issues. As one Business Analyst from a brick and tile manufacturer put it, Keeping up with complaints is impossible. Our software makes it possible.
3. Audit Trail and Compliance
In highly regulated industries, maintaining a clear audit trail is critical. Our software automatically logs and traces issue histories for you, creating a comprehensive audit trail. Adding notes to an issue helps create historical context, and scheduled issues help agents regulate their response to commonly recurring issues, saving time and effort that can be redirected toward other urgent customer problems.
4. Scalability and Customization
Issuetrak's wide customization options ensure our complaint management software scales with you as you grow. Manual solutions and certain competitors don't offer scalable solutions for growing companies. Many competitors, such as Spiceworks and Freshdesk, offer free versions with limited features, forcing businesses to buy higher-tier plans to access basic functionality.
In contrast, Issuetrak opts for transparent, straightforward pricing and avoids confusing pricing tiers. While we do not offer a free version, our agent-only plans are very competitive and affordable especially for SMBs.
Our Support plans at $77/agent/month offer immense value with no feature-gating and the added bonus of unlimited free users. This enables even external parties to submit complaints allowing you to cast a wider net for customer feedback. We truly believe in enabling your help desk with all the functions necessary to serve your customers well, regardless of their price point. Plus, our risk-free 14-day free trial gives our clients the opportunity to test drive the features best suited to their complaint management needs.
Many competitors like Jira and HappyFox lack customization options, making it difficult for organizations to build a help desk operation best suited to their needs. With Issuetrak, you can customize your submission task flow, help desk site appearance, ticketing labels, and more. Plus, valuable add-ons like Surveys, Billing, Webforms, and Chat enhance your customers' experience and give you greater scope over solving customer issues.
