Features

Managing your customer help desk is a seamless experience with Help Desk Ultimate. Check out its powerful features and benefits:

  • Ensure speedy resolution and response through 2-way email parsing
    Our email parser auto-converts email messages into tickets or ticket responses. You just need to configure this extension to collect emails from the POP3 or IMAP box at regular intervals (Magento cron jobs file is utilized for this purpose and no additional cron setup is needed). A ticket response emailed by a staff user will be processed by the email parser, recorded in the help desk and forwarded to the ticket creator.

    (Note that for the POP3 fetching feature, the php_imap PHP extension must be running on your server)

  • Manage workflow better: Assign work quickly through unlimited departments
    You can create unlimited departments for better workflow management. Each department has a title, an email address and a set of email templates. You can choose to direct different support tickets to different departments. When visitors to the site submit a support ticket, the requests can be automatically assigned to the relevant department. This ensures speedy resolution of the customer's issue. (You can choose to show or hide the department selector from visitors to your site)

    New macro fields available in email templates allow you to craft the templates perfectly – include dynamic ticket information once and have it parsed in all outgoing messages.

    Moreover, get complete visibility on help desk activity with reports showing the department-wise number of tickets and status of the tickets. Use this important information to further optimise your customer support function.

  • Advanced multistore support mechanisms
    Assign primary department for stores and establish automatic store-department email parsing. Optimise tickets processing by having customers and departments organized on by-store basis.
  • Manage tickets in a flexible way
    Help Desk Ultimate offers easy-to-use system of tickets managing. You can create unlimited number of tickets and edit them from admin panel, link tickets with orders, reassign ticket to other department or lock it so no other department could edit it.

    Ticket priority option allows you to specify the level of ticket urgency when you for example, reassign ticket to other department. Your customers can express the importance of their messages in such a way. Ticket priority can be set while ticket creating as well as its editing and can be changed in every moment.

    If too many tickets have been created and it takes a lot of time to search the required one, use the Global Search field in the admin area – Help Desk Ultimate allows you to find tickets in no time using this native Magento option.

  • Keep track of the entire thread: Convert e-mail messages into new tickets easily
    Help Desk Ultimate includes an optional feature to convert initial email messages sent to the parser mail box into new tickets. This is extremely useful for support requests submitted via a Magento contact form.

    Help Desk Ultimate offers a 1-click contact form integration as well as a 1-click Product Questions extension integration. Simple anti-bot and email spam protection can secure help desk departments from losing time on unwanted messages processing.

  • Trace the history of all communications
    Ticket threads and status change history are thoroughly kept by Help Desk Ultimate, so you can always study case history.
  • Ease work with tickets for customers
    Gladden your customers with new improved selection interface when creating and editing a ticket. Moreover, it has become possible to do it without being logged in. Your consumers will definitely appreciate it!
  • Let the desk focus on active support requests with auto-closure of tickets
    The software will close all tickets that have no activity on it by an end user for the number of days specified by you
  • Manage help desk more efficiently with powerful & user-friendly admin features
    • Full integration into Magento admin and customer areas
    • Customizable email notifications for administrator and customer
    • Quotation option in customer and admin areas
    • Auto-assign to departments upon email reply

Customer Reviews

Help Desk is Great

Review by Boba | Jun 22, 2010

I have purchased 4 extensions from AheadWorks, and I am very satisfied with both the extensions and the support I have received.

Help Desk is a great investment for our store. Customers are already accustomed to "submitting a ticket" when they have a problem, so they will look for a similar function on your site. Previously we used a free ticket system, but it was not integrated with Magento and required customers to open a a different page.

We paid the money for AheadWorks's Help Desk, and now if a customer submits a ticket that says only "where is my order?", the Help Desk system will show us all orders associated with that customer, so we can help him more quickly.

We do not use it yet to manage all incoming emails that we receive, just because the volume of our emails is not great enough to require this, but we will certainly use this feature in the future to help us stay organized.

Help Desk is great overall!
Makes support EASIER!

Review by Scott | May 17, 2010

Great extension, no problems setting up or configuring. Easy to administer without having to go through tons of code.

If your site has a high volume of support requests you simply MUST have this extension. Do yourself a favor and also purchase the knowledgebase extension too. While aheadWorks hasn't yet "hooked" them together, allowing customers to help themselves with the Knowledgebase then submit tickets and track them online is invaluable.

Feature Request for next version:
- Ability to hook the knowledge base into the helpdesk so knowledge base articles are scanned for keywords (and potential answers are displayed) BEFORE the ticket is actually submitted. I have that setup on my non-magento site and it's cut my support requests down by 65%
Great extension

Review by Peter | Apr 20, 2010

This extension helps if you wish to professionalize your customer relationship. Works perfectly.
The Best From The Best

Review by Rich | Feb 3, 2010

I did my homework and research. I wanted to make sure I got a support ticket system that not only did what I needed but would be around for future updates of Magento and future plugin improvements. Ahead Works is a company that knows its stuff when it comes to Magento and making quality plugins. This plugin not only provides support tickets but a messaging system that is vital for good customer relations. Ahead Works sends out updates of their plugins when additional features are added or Magento upgrades. They provide great support and installation directions that are easy to understand. Hands down the best from the best Magento add-on company.
Great extension!

Review by naturkost.com | Feb 2, 2010

This is simply one of the best Magento extensions on the market, hands down.

Works great, does not touch any core files, is easy to install, and integrates seamlessly.

great helpdesk system

Review by Jan | Oct 14, 2009

"Help Desk Ultimate" is a great extension for Magento. It integrates seamlessly, and it can be configured to highly meet the merchants' needs. I highly recommend this wonderful extension to everybody using a Magento store. Furthermore, the cost/performance ratio is excellent.
Outstanding App for any Ecommerce Site

Review by Brian - www.Firewalls.com | Jul 29, 2009

We were a bit skeptical about implementing this mod because we do not have a need for a "help desk" (customers do not need direct support from us since we simply sell and ship a product.)

However, after implementing the mod we were surprised to see the customer use the app for asking questions about their orders, getting upgrades and other sales functions.

As with all mods from Aheadworks the installation was quick and painless. No core files were changed, not HTML / PHP copy/paste code snippets.... just install and go.

For the price we would recommend this to anyone running an Magento site. Your customers will thank you because of the professionalism you will display and ease of answering customer concerns.
Superb Help Desk System

Review by Jared | Jul 18, 2009

This is hands down the best investment my company has made in a Magento module. It saves us countless hours in customer phone calls and has now made our returns processing more efficient. This is an absolute MUST for any Magento system serious about selling!
