The hidden costs of supporting customers in Slack

No ticketing

Slack wasn't built to handle support at scale. Without triage, assignment, tracking or reporting, you waste time – and customer messages fall through the cracks.

Scattered messages

No visibility

You can't improve what you can't see. Without metrics or SLA tracking, you're guessing your team's performance, and missing chances to catch issues early.

Slack channels

No collaboration

Looping in teammates means pasting links, switching channels, and following up manually. It's slow, messy, and easy to lose context.
