Hi,

Freshdesk does not have a Final SLA and I believe it should have.

 

I will explain:
 

Imagine that I have 100 tickets where:

-95 of them I did not violate First answer SLA

-90 of them I did not violate Resolution SLA

 

So:

 

% Total tickets that violated SLA for 1st Response:  ((100-95)/100)*100= 5 %

% Total tickets that Did not violated SLA for 1st Response:  (95/100)*100= 95 %

 

% Total tickets that violated SLA for Resolution:  ((100-90)/100)*100= 10 %

% Total tickets that Did not violated SLA for Resolution:  (95/100)*100= 90 %

 

 

% Total SLA  Violated:           5%+10%/2 = 7.5%

% Total SLA non Violated:     95%+90%/2 = 92.5%

 

When we negotiate SLA with customers, they want us to pay penalties if we violate SLA in more than X%.

They don’t want conditions like: if we violate SLA for Resolution more than X% and SLA for 1st Response more than Y%

They just want one final value for SLA.

 

Another example: Imagine that we have a contract with a customer that obey us to pay 10€ every month if our success rate of SLA is less than 92%.

Using the example above we know that we violate that contract for the Resolution (90%) but not for the 1st Response (95%). Our final SLA was 92.5% so we are ok. We don’t need to pay anything.

But I need the system to be able to make this metric automatically.

Having a consolidated SLA metric would definitely make reporting and contract compliance much clearer especially when customers expect a single benchmark. Automating this within Freshdesk would be a useful addition. Hope they consider it in future updates.
