The Support Manager is an email-based ticketing system and the hub of all internal and client support communications. Incoming correspondence, called tickets, are received by email and the Support Manager.

The Support Manager is organized by your internal departments, such as support, billing, and sales. This keeps all aspects of your business communications in one place. You can also tailor the Support Manager by managing user preferences.
