“The problem: SNCF’s own searches cannot ever show you connections involving more than two changes. And – importantly – this limitation in SNCF’s system is just passed straight across to the resellers”

I have no idea suddenly why I decided to write a blog post on help desks, automated ticketing systems and chat bots, but the frustration must have built up for months :D

This has become a hot topic since the Oasis ticket frenzy (and to be clear, if they were playing in my back garden I'd close the curtains), but ticket pricing has been out of control for a long time. The reasons for that are also linked to why so many grassroots venues are struggling; youtube.com/watch?v=u--se25_px

Hallo, wer ist #selbständig und verkauft Tickets zu Veranstaltungen? Ich suche ne Lösung die E-Rechnungen an Kunden verschicken kann und unsere Begrüßung von der Umsatzsteuer abbildet, 2 Features die in meiner ersten Recherche nicht so sichtbar wurde bei den Anbietern, die ich so gefunden habe ...

@bigTanuki @BillySmith I'm convinced @frameworkcomputer uses #GoogleForms not as a sole tool, but merely #ingress pipeline for their #support workflows, so there is like demand to design a whole workflow and architecture from the ground up to handle and process supoort queries.

Maybe someone will enhineer somethibg aroubd #Gitlab or #Girea's #issue #Ticketing system?

I am however shure something like a customer chat can be done with like #Zulip and for #RemoteDesktop-based #TechSupport there's an excellent tool called "#Dayon!" which is super easy to use for the support-requesting side, doesn't rely on centralized services being available and only needs a few settings by the supporter to get up and running...

  • If I were running my own company, I'd propably sponsor the development of Dayon to the same amount as it would cost to pay for AnyDesk instead!
