External support software: centralize requests and optimally manage support operations.
Octopus ESM centralizes external requests, manages support processes, and makes every step measurable. Faster processing. Better customer experience.
Intelligent request handling
Every external request is captured, qualified, and handled without friction. Octopus analyzes, assigns to the right team, and triggers the necessary actions — automatically. Everything structured, traceable, and prioritized according to your service rules.
Every external request, one entry point
Every request flows through one web portal replacing scattered emails, calls, and forms. Requests arrive structured, complete, and ready to handle.
SLA management and smart request routing
Every request is automatically categorized, prioritized, and routed to the right team based on your service rules.
Automated resolution processes
Repetitive tasks and processing steps are automated. Your teams focus on complex support cases while standard requests follow predefined workflows — no manual handling required.
Real-time request tracking
Every request is visible end to end, with real-time tracking for your internal teams.
Transparent, automated customer experience
Customers get automatic updates at every step — cutting manual follow-ups and delivering a smooth, consistent experience.
One portal for all your external services
All external requests are managed through a single system. Teams see only what's relevant to them. Processes are automated. Transfers between departments are seamless, transparent, and fully traceable.
External service orchestration
All requests are managed through one unified framework, no matter their type or complexity. Teams work together in a shared environment, breaking down silos between departments.
Consistent external services
Every type of request follows a clear and consistent process, with standardized forms, rules, and workflows. The result? A consistent level of service, no matter which team manages the request.
Automated processing workflows
Requests automatically follow a defined workflow based on category and priority level. Automatic assignment, business rules, escalations, and notifications — everything is orchestrated without manual intervention.
Knowledge base and self-service
External users find answers to common questions quickly. Fewer repetitive requests. More user autonomy. Less load on your support teams.
Automated notifications and proactive communication
Every step of the process is communicated automatically. Users always know where their request stands. Teams skip repetitive follow-ups.
