Support and customer service

Every customer request a card, with a number and a status

For agencies, IT service providers, software vendors and trade businesses: your customers report faults and wishes via a form or by email, with no account at all. Every report becomes a card on your team’s board, and the customer sees how far along it is.

How it works today

Requests come by email to the shared address, to individual employees, by phone and via the contact form on the website. Who looks after them is settled by a shout across the office, and what comes in on Friday is somewhere in the inbox on Monday.

If the customer asks, someone goes looking for the last email, the colleague who last worked on it, and the time that has already gone into it.

How it works with Kanbalino

The process

A request in four steps

Inbox

The customer sends the form or an email. This becomes a card with a number, and they receive a confirmation.

Assignee

The person you have set for the category or the board is assigned the request and gets a notification.

Reply

Follow-up questions and the solution go out as an email from the card. Below that, the team coordinates in comments.

Done

The card moves to the last column, and the status page shows the customer “Done”.

Inbox

Everything about the request on one card

The title carries the number, the description the customer’s text together with category, sender and company. The customer is attached to the card as a contact; images from the form and attachments from the email are in its files. Below that your team coordinates, with name and time.

Request with number, the customer’s contact and discussion in the team
Reply

Reply to the customer without switching to your inbox

In the “Messages” tab you write to the customer directly from the card, with your name and the name of your company. If they reply, including to the confirmation, their email arrives on the same card, and everyone in the team sees the status. You save frequent replies as text templates.

Effort

See how much time goes into the requests

You track the time per request with start and stop on the card, or add it afterwards. Time tracking shows it per person and per request, filtered by board or customer, and turns it into a statement of services as PDF if you wish.

For your customers

The status, without having to ask

With the confirmation the customer gets a link. The status page shows the number, subject and date and whether the request has been received, is in progress or is done, read from the column of the card. They do not see comments, the board or the columns. You place the form on your website with a short piece of code; for WordPress there is a plugin. More about Tickets / requests

The features behind it

Form or email, with no account for your customers. Every request gets a number and a page that shows its status.

The sender becomes a contact together with their company. Requests for a quotation go straight to Sales via their category.

Learn more

What the team discusses internally about a request is on the card as a note. The customer sees none of it.

Price

With Premium, at no extra charge

Tickets / requests is part of Premium and costs nothing extra there. The add-on is not included in the free plan or with Campus. The contacts it builds on cost nothing in any plan.

Premium starts at €4.95 per person and month, billed yearly, including VAT. Your customers need no account and never count as a seat.

Honest questions

What service providers want to know before switching

No. They fill in the form or write to the board’s address. They see the status of their request via the link in the confirmation.

Yes. A short piece of HTML code places it in any page with an encrypted address (https); for WordPress there is the plugin “Kanbalino Tickets”. The form then appears in a frame, with your accent colour, but not in the font of your website.

No. Only your team sees comments on the card. The customer gets what you write to them in the “Messages” tab, and the status page.

Yes, with boards of their own: one per category, or for large customers a separate board with its own address. We do not recommend inviting customers as guests to a shared board, because a guest sees all the cards of the board.

No. Kanbalino does not measure response times, there are no agreements on them and no portal with a sign-in. Your customers see only the status page of their request.

Forms are checked by mosparo, on a server in Germany and without cookies. With emails, a sender counts only if the receiving mail server confirms their authenticity, and out-of-office notices, newsletters and emails marked by the spam filter do not become a request.

On our own server in Germany, in a data centre in Nuremberg, including your customers’ requests and contacts. Your team’s sign-in can be secured with a second factor.
