Service Level Agreement (SLA)
An SLA defines the committed response and resolution times for different ticket priorities. SLA breaches result in service credits, penalty fees, or contract termination in B2B agreements.
Why it matters for B2B support
Enterprise B2B SLAs typically require P1 response within 15-30 minutes and resolution within 4 hours. SLA compliance directly affects revenue — a single enterprise SLA breach can cost $10,000-100,000 in credits.
How Altor helps
Altor helps meet SLA targets by starting investigation the moment a ticket arrives, rather than when an agent picks it up. This eliminates the queue-to-investigation gap that causes most SLA breaches.
