What's behind your CSAT score?

CSAT isn't enough, because a score won’t tell you what to fix. HappySignals shows what's happening behind the scenes, who is affected, and what it's costing your business.

A decision

What should we fix first?

Check whether routing or issue type explains the gap. Each reassignment costs the employee hours and hours in lost time.

The whole story behind the experience

Experience, employee, ITSM, and operational data together. A ticket score turns into actionable information: which service, which channel, which team, and why.

Validated surveys and benchmarks

No home-made CSAT questions. You get research-backed surveys after every ticket, and 1.77 million benchmark responses to show what good looks like for a service desk exactly like yours.

HappySignals average15 to 40%response rate
Typical CSAT5 to 10%response rate

Consistently high response rates

Surveys built for people to say how it went, so they answer. Enough responses to see patterns across each team and channel, not just the loudest voices in the organization.

Experience Intelligence
Why did lost time on incidents go up last month?

Measure where productivity is lost

Lost time turns a ticket into business impact. Prioritize by hours lost, not by ticket volume, and the case for fixing routing writes itself.

Keep your CSAT

CSAT tells you someone was unhappy. Not why.

Your ITSM tool knows the ticket was closed on time. A CSAT survey shows that a few people were annoyed. Neither tells you what to change next.

Use cases

Where does technology get in the way?

Choose where you want to improve experience. Then pick a use case to see how HappySignals handles it.

Which tickets get bounced, and what does it cost?

Every time a ticket changes hands, someone waits longer. Usually, it's a small group of tickets that does most of the damage, so fixing how those are routed pays off quickly.

Savings from experience, not cost-cutting.

£1M saved in 2024 and a further £600K in 2025, driven by service and process changes the experience data pointed to. It also found and removed a recurring source of rework: tickets closed without confirming the fix.
