CSAT isn't enough, because a score won’t tell you what to fix. HappySignals turns ticket-driven feedback into benchmarked, actionable experience signals—connected to your ITSM data—so you can pinpoint the drivers, recover lost time, and improve what employees actually experience.
You already have the operational story—tickets, SLAs, assignment groups, channels, MTTR. What’s missing is the employee reality: did it feel resolved, did it help them work, and what caused the friction? HappySignals connects experience to operations so you can move from “reporting” to a decision system.
A single CSAT number won’t tell you where tickets bounce, where MTTR hides delay, or where employees quietly lose time — we will.
Know whether your Incident, Request, and Change practices truly perform — compared to peers, regions, and vendors — not just against your own targets.
High response rates mean you see the full service story — not just escalations and outliers.
See which roles, locations, or business units struggle most — even when the overall service score looks fine.
Turn thousands of ticket comments into clear themes in minutes — so you can focus on improvement, not reading spreadsheets.
Quantify lost time per service, channel, or vendor — and prioritize improvements based on business impact, not ticket volume.
Use HappySignals to power your everyday ITSM use cases with real experience data — not assumptions.
Email, chatbot, or phone? Identify which channels people prefer and make it work better for them.
Reveal bottlenecks between teams, vendors, and processes based on factual data about reassignment counts dragging your MTTR, and help improve your employee and IT efficiency.
Find tickets that can be automated or resolved by agentic AI and let humans handle the things that actually require human touch.
Understand the diverse needs of different people and transition from a “one size fits all” IT to more tailored approach.
When 75% of your feedback is positive, why not share it with your team? Motivate your team with personal praises from open feedback!
One trusted view across teams and vendors.Bring ITSM KPIs and experience into a single service story, manage vendors with unbiased truth, and move from firefighting to proactive improvement with outcomes the business understands.
Make service decisions with proof—not gut feel.See where services underperform beyond green SLAs, connect sentiment to MTTR/reassignments, and prioritize fixes by lost-time impact—so you can justify roadmaps and investments.
Reduce noise. Protect your team. Improve the frontline.Spot frustration hotspots by channel and queue, fix what drives repeat contacts, tune self-service and virtual agents, and share positive feedback that actually lifts morale.
Built for the people who have to answer:
“How are our services really doing?”

"A smiley face doesn’t tell you what to fix. CSAT alone isn’t enough to improve the IT experience."
Traditional CSAT and yearly surveys often suffer from low response rates (5–10% typical). The average HappySignals response rate is between 20-40%!
Creating surveys from scratch requires expertise. If not done well, you’ll get low participation and poor-quality insights. Often IT surveys are too short to be actionable, or too long to be completed.
Teams often don’t know how to interpret or act on what little feedback they receive. HappySignals transforms this by making experience analytics clear, actionable, and integrated with operational data.
ITIL 5 modernizes service management for the AI era—connecting strategy, delivery, and measurable outcomes, unifying product + service into one lifecycle, and putting experience at the center. HappySignals fits naturally into that shift by turning ITSM work into decision-grade experience signals you can manage, improve, and prove.
Move from “activity reporting” to “outcome management.” HappySignals links employee feedback to ITSM reality—services, channels, teams, vendors—so you can show what changed, why it changed, and what value it created.
ITIL 5 emphasizes one lifecycle where teams design, build, launch, operate, and improve together—reducing friction, silos, and handoffs. HappySignals highlights where handoffs and operating gaps hurt experience, so teams can improve the lifecycle end-to-end.
ITIL 5 calls for a shared model that links delivery to measurable outcomes. HappySignals gives stakeholders a common language: experience themes + operational drivers + impact—so prioritization isn’t opinion-driven.
ITIL 5 includes practical guidance to adopt and scale AI responsibly, with governance built in. HappySignals supports AI initiatives in ITSM by revealing where automation helps (or harms) experience—and by tracking outcomes, not just deflection.
ITIL 5 keeps familiar foundations (guiding principles, practices, value focus) while strengthening experience and outcome orientation. HappySignals helps you build on what already works—without rebuilding your reporting stack from scratch.
HappySignals doesn’t just collect experience data — it turns it into action. Get continuous signals, smart prioritization, and clear visibility on what needs to change.
HappySignals helps ITSM teams understand how employees truly experience IT services — and where to focus improvements that boost productivity and satisfaction.
Here’s what it delivers:
Real-time experience insights: Measures Happiness and Lost Time for incidents, requests, and portal interactions — showing how IT impacts daily work.
High-quality feedback you can trust: Research-backed surveys drive 20–40% response rates, giving ITSM reliable data instead of guesswork.
AI-powered analysis: Automatically summarizes thousands of free-text comments so teams don’t need to read them manually. You instantly see the top themes, pain points, and improvement ideas.
Root-cause visibility: Combines experience data with ITSM operational data (services, assignment groups, channels, locations) to pinpoint issues fast.
Clear improvement priorities: Benchmarks and AI insights highlight where IT can reduce lost time and improve service quality.
Stronger business alignment: Helps IT move from SLA-driven reporting to experience-led decisions that show measurable business value.
In short: HappySignals turns ITSM data and employee sentiment into actionable insights — helping IT improve services, reduce productivity loss, and make employees happier.
Standard CSAT tells you if a user was satisfied. HappySignals shows you how IT services impact employees and productivity.
Here’s how we differ:
Higher response rates: CSAT typically gets 5–10%, while HappySignals delivers 20–40% thanks to simple, research-backed surveys.
Measures impact, not just satisfaction: We track Happiness and Lost Time, helping IT see where productivity is being lost.
Shows the “why,” not just the score: Built-in experience indicators explain what actually drove the rating.
Connected to operational data: You can instantly drill down by service, assignment group, channel, country, or vendor.
Benchmarked and actionable: Global benchmarks and AI summaries highlight where to focus your improvements.
In short: CSAT is a score. HappySignals is experience management — helping IT prioritize the changes that matter for employees.
HappySignals reveals the real reasons employees get frustrated with IT services—the things traditional metrics and CSAT scores typically miss.
Here’s what it uncovers:
Hidden productivity killers: Which incidents or services cause the most lost time, even if SLAs look green.
Root causes of poor experiences: Clear insights into factors like unclear instructions, slow communication, repeated reassignments, or long wait times.
Channel friction: Whether certain channels (portal, chat, email, phone) make work harder instead of easier.
Technical vs. human gaps: When issues feel “resolved” in the system but don’t feel resolved to the employee — the “Watermelon Effect.”
Employee profile differences: How frustrations vary by role, location, tech confidence, or work style.
Theme-level insights: AI summarizes thousands of free-text comments so IT can instantly see the top pain points without reading everything manually.
In short: HappySignals identifies the everyday friction employees face — and shows IT exactly where to focus to remove it.
HappySignals helps IT move from a cost center to a value-driving partner by showing how IT services impact productivity, employee satisfaction, and business performance.
Here’s how it enables the business:
Quantifies productivity gains: Measures Lost Time so IT can show how improvements return hours — or FTEs — back to the business.
Proves the value of IT investments: Links changes (new tools, processes, vendors) directly to employee experience and business outcomes.
Prioritizes what matters most: Highlights which issues affect productivity and happiness, helping IT focus resources where they deliver the biggest impact.
Supports experience-based governance (XLAs): Shifts conversations from SLA compliance to delivering real business value through better experiences.
Accelerates decision-making: AI summarizes feedback and themes so leaders can quickly understand what’s working — and what needs action.
Improves adoption of digital initiatives: Shows how employees perceive new tools and services, helping IT drive smoother rollouts and higher adoption rates.
In short: HappySignals turns ITSM data into business insights, helping IT make decisions that improve productivity, demonstrate value, and enable the whole organization to perform better.
HappySignals integrates seamlessly with modern ITSM tools to capture experience data automatically.
Today, the platform integrates with:
ServiceNow (certified Store app; easiest and most common)
Freshservice
Ivanti Neurons
BMC Helix
Jira Service Management (Cloud)
These integrations allow HappySignals to pull operational data (services, categories, assignment groups, channels, locations) so IT teams get full context behind the experience.
In short: If your ITSM tool manages tickets, HappySignals can plug into it — quickly and with minimal effort from IT.
