What manual routing costs you every month

Four hidden costs — easy to miss, expensive when they stack up.

L1 triage labor

2–4 h/day per L1

Agents read and sort before specialist work starts.

Misrouting & bounce

2× handle time

Wrong queue → tickets ping-pong between teams.

Customer wait time

SLA risk

Hours before the right team sees the ticket.

Repetitive cognitive load

Minutes per ticket

Reading threads, copying fields, re-prioritizing.

Before / after in real life

Concrete situations — not just spreadsheet math.
