As support volume grows, requests are forgotten, response time cannot be measured, ownership is unclear and monthly reporting becomes impossible. A business should move to tickets when it has multiple departments, branches, repeated issues, SLA expectations or a need to report support workload.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">The content of the article<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/itsystems.vn\/en\/when-to-move-it-support-from-zalo-to-ticketing\/#Why_chat_is_not_enough_as_the_company_grows\" >Why chat is not enough as the company grows<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/itsystems.vn\/en\/when-to-move-it-support-from-zalo-to-ticketing\/#Signals_that_ticketing_is_needed\" >Signals that ticketing is needed<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/itsystems.vn\/en\/when-to-move-it-support-from-zalo-to-ticketing\/#Should_Zalo_be_removed_completely\" >Should Zalo be removed completely?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/itsystems.vn\/en\/when-to-move-it-support-from-zalo-to-ticketing\/#Minimum_ticket_fields\" >Minimum ticket fields<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/itsystems.vn\/en\/when-to-move-it-support-from-zalo-to-ticketing\/#How_to_transition_without_upsetting_users\" >How to transition without upsetting users<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/itsystems.vn\/en\/when-to-move-it-support-from-zalo-to-ticketing\/#How_this_connects_IT_Support_and_Helpdesk\" >How this connects IT Support and Helpdesk<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/itsystems.vn\/en\/when-to-move-it-support-from-zalo-to-ticketing\/#Frequently_Asked_Questions\" >Frequently Asked Questions<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/itsystems.vn\/en\/when-to-move-it-support-from-zalo-to-ticketing\/#Does_a_small_company_need_ticketing\" >Does a small company need ticketing?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/itsystems.vn\/en\/when-to-move-it-support-from-zalo-to-ticketing\/#Will_tickets_slow_support_down\" >Will tickets slow support down?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/itsystems.vn\/en\/when-to-move-it-support-from-zalo-to-ticketing\/#When_should_SLA_start\" >When should SLA start?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-11\" href=\"https:\/\/itsystems.vn\/en\/when-to-move-it-support-from-zalo-to-ticketing\/#Need_a_clearer_Helpdesk_process\" >Need a clearer Helpdesk process?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_chat_is_not_enough_as_the_company_grows\"><\/span>Why chat is not enough as the company grows<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Zalo is useful for fast communication, but it is not an IT service-management system. Messages scroll away, screenshots sit in different groups, assignees do not always update status and managers cannot see total monthly requests. With 30-100 users, many small issues become a real operational burden.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Signals_that_ticketing_is_needed\"><\/span>Signals that ticketing is needed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Signal<\/th>\n<th>Current pain<\/th>\n<th>How ticketing helps<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Forgotten requests<\/td>\n<td>Messages are missed or sent to the wrong person<\/td>\n<td>Each request has status and owner<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>No SLA measurement<\/td>\n<td>Response and resolution time are unclear<\/td>\n<td>Every ticket has intake, response and closure times<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Repeated issues<\/td>\n<td>Printer, network or email problems come back<\/td>\n<td>Issue categories reveal root causes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Multiple branches<\/td>\n<td>Location and onsite ownership are unclear<\/td>\n<td>Tickets include site, device and priority<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Need reporting<\/td>\n<td>Management only hears anecdotes<\/td>\n<td>Monthly workload, backlog and SLA data become visible<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_Zalo_be_removed_completely\"><\/span>Should Zalo be removed completely?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Not necessarily. Zalo can still be used for quick confirmation, urgent screenshots or human follow-up. The important change is that the ticket becomes the official record. If a user reports through Zalo, IT can create a ticket or direct the user to the standard intake channel.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Minimum_ticket_fields\"><\/span>Minimum ticket fields<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Requester, department and branch.<\/li>\n<li>Related device or service: computer, email, network, printer or software.<\/li>\n<li>Business impact and priority.<\/li>\n<li>Assigned support owner.<\/li>\n<li>Intake, first response, resolution and closure time.<\/li>\n<li>Cause, resolution and prevention note when useful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_transition_without_upsetting_users\"><\/span>How to transition without upsetting users<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The shift does not have to be abrupt. Start with one official intake form or ticket mailbox, keep Zalo for urgent follow-up and let IT convert informal messages into tickets during the first month. After users see that tickets make requests less likely to be forgotten, adoption usually improves.<\/p>\n<p>Management should also explain which issues are urgent, which ones are normal priority and what information users should provide. A ticket with no screenshot, device name or business impact wastes time; a simple intake template reduces that friction.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_this_connects_IT_Support_and_Helpdesk\"><\/span>How this connects IT Support and Helpdesk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Tickets are the operating base for <a href=\"\/en\/it-services-for-businesses\/it-helpdesk-services\/\">IT Helpdesk<\/a> and <a href=\"\/en\/it-services-for-businesses\/it-support-services\/\">IT Support<\/a>.
