Signals in IT Services that keep your clients and expand your managed services

For managed service providers, IT outsourcers and system integrators. SignalHOT reads the tickets your clients raise and shows which clients are at risk, which incidents to escalate and who is ready to buy more.

Managed service providers live on tickets and SLAs, and so do their clients. A client rarely leaves over one incident. It leaves after a quarter of repeat outages, P1 tickets that sat in a queue, and a service review where the SLA report looked green but the client's experience did not. The renewal is lost months before the contract ends. SignalHOT reads client tickets from ServiceNow, Zendesk or a custom feed from your PSA tool, explains which clients are at risk and why, and shows where clients are asking for more.

Four signals, one account view

Protect: Churn Risk, Escalation · Grow: Success, Growth
ProtectChurn Risk High risk

A client heading into renewal unhappy

A 1,200-user client has had the same email outage twice this month, four P2 tickets breached SLA, ticket CSAT fell to 2.6, and the contract renews in 120 days.

Why it mattersManaged services renewals are decided in the service reviews of the last two quarters, not the last month.

ProtectEscalation Escalate now

A P1 going quiet

A P1 on a client's finance system is past its resolution target, the ticket has had no update for six hours, and the client's IT director has written: we are losing a day of invoicing.

A client that would vouch for you

A client rates its tickets 5 out of 5, and its incidents close well inside SLA.

Asking for services you already sell

Growth opportunity, matched to your managed security and backup services.
