Real Results

How UK businesses benefit from structured ticketing.

Financial Services Firm, Leeds

A 50-person financial services company had no visibility on IT issues. Staff did not know if their tickets had been received or when they would be resolved.

Moved to IP Four ticket portal. Staff now have full visibility on every ticket. IT satisfaction scores increased from 38 to 87 percent within three months.

Healthcare Provider, Bristol

A healthcare organisation needed a full audit trail of all IT support activity for CQC compliance purposes.

The ticket portal provided a complete, timestamped record of every IT issue and resolution. Compliance audit passed with no findings.

Logistics Company, Coventry

Operations staff needed to log IT issues quickly without interrupting their workflow or waiting on hold.

Email-to-ticket meant staff could report issues in seconds. Average ticket logging time dropped from 8 minutes to under 30 seconds.
