North American IT Services Provider — Rebuilt legacy helpdesk for 1500+ B2B clients with modern SLA tracking

An IT services provider supporting 1500+ B2B clients was running on a legacy helpdesk platform that could not scale. The engagement delivered a complete replacement with modern SLA tracking, automated escalations, contract lifecycle management, and a customer self-service portal — all built on Creatio Service.

The Challenge

The legacy helpdesk platform could not handle the scale of 1500+ B2B clients. SLA tracking was basic — no predictive alerts, no trend analysis, no intelligent escalation. Contract lifecycle was managed separately with no connection to support operations. Customers had no self-service capability, driving all inquiries to agents.

Agent productivity was declining as ticket volumes grew. SLA breaches were increasing. Customer satisfaction was eroding.

The Solution

Replaced the legacy helpdesk with Creatio Service covering complete ticket management, predictive SLA tracking with automated escalations, contract lifecycle management with renewal tracking, and a customer self-service portal with ticket visibility and knowledge base access.

Designed intelligent escalation that distinguished between cases needing reminders (agent busy), escalation (agent unavailable), and management attention (approaching critical SLA threshold).

The Outcome

All 1500+ B2B clients successfully migrated to the modern platform. SLA compliance improved to 95%+ through predictive tracking and intelligent escalation. The self-service portal deflected 40% of routine inquiries, freeing agents for complex issues. Contract renewals became fully trackable. Agent satisfaction improved with modern tools replacing the legacy system.
