The problem

You promised fast replies. You have no idea if you're keeping that promise.

Threads slipping

Replies stretch from minutes to hours. By the time someone notices, the customer already escalated.

Performance is a guess

Some reps reply in minutes. Others take a day. You can't coach what you can't see.

Surprise breaches

You don't find out until the customer follows up. By then, it's already a problem.
