Efficiency Metrics

Replies Per Ticket

Replies Per Ticket is the average number of agent responses sent per ticket from first contact to closure. This counts all messages from agents, including follow-ups, clarifications, and status updates. Higher counts suggest complex issues or communication inefficiency.

Why Replies Per Ticket Matters
