SupportLayer
Helpdesk software built for teams with real SLAs·supportlayer.app
SupportLayer is a helpdesk platform for teams whose work is measured against SLAs. It gives every ticket a clear owner, pauses SLA clocks while a ticket is waiting on the customer, and provides role-based access for agents, managers, administrators and end users. Tickets can arrive by email forwarding, a live chat widget, or the REST API, all landing in one queue. It also offers a live dashboard, SLA reporting, reply templates, white-label branding and a sync with ProjectLayer for turning tickets into backlog items.
