Ticket Abandonment Rate
Why it matters for B2B support
B2B ticket abandonment is significant but rarely tracked. Customers who abandon support do not vanish; they escalate to account managers, leave negative reviews, or churn silently. Abandonment rises sharply during long-hold periods over 24 hours and after the third transfer, when the customer no longer believes the support workflow will solve the problem. At a 15% abandonment rate on 10,000 monthly tickets, a team is effectively leaving 1,500 unresolved issues per month outside the visible support dashboard.

How Altor helps
Altor reduces abandonment by shortening wait periods and reducing unnecessary transfers. Customers are less likely to disappear when the first replies contain evidence and the ticket stays with the right owner.
FAQ
Why is abandonment dangerous if the ticket disappears?
Because the customer problem does not disappear. It usually resurfaces through account management, executive escalation, or renewal risk where the cost is even higher.
How can teams measure abandonment rate accurately?
Correlate tickets closed without resolution against later customer activity, account-manager escalations, and new tickets on the same issue. Without that linkage, abandonment looks like a clean closure.
