What it does for you

Every email a customer sends to your support address or submits through the web portal transforms into an actionable ticket: assigned a ticket number, an owner, a priority level, and an SLA response deadline. Your support team sees all tickets on a single unified screen, leadership monitors pending delays, and customers track resolution status from their own portal without needing to call.

It is a module of "Asas by FoundationCX", and can be deployed on its own.

Who it is for

Frequently asked questions

Is it an alternative to Zendesk or Freshdesk?

Yes: email-to-ticket conversion, customer portal, SLA response timers, knowledge base, and analytics. The difference is it is open source with no per-agent fees, and customer communications reside inside Egypt.

What is a support ticketing system?

A platform that converts every customer request into a tracked ticket with an assigned owner and response target, ensuring no inquiry gets lost or delayed without management visibility.

Can customers monitor their own ticket progress?

Yes, via the customer web portal, receiving automated email updates on every agent reply.

Does it integrate with WhatsApp?

Tickets enter via email and the web portal; connecting secondary channels like WhatsApp is supported under custom builds.
