How is Altor different from a docs chatbot?

Docs chatbots answer 'how does this work?' from your knowledge base. Altor answers 'why is this broken for this customer right now?' by querying their actual API logs, checking your bug tracker, and verifying their billing status — across 6+ systems in under 2 minutes.

How is Altor different from our support platform?

Pylon, Plain, Zendesk — they route and manage tickets. Altor investigates them. We plug into your existing support tool as the investigation layer. You keep your workflows, we add the diagnosis.

Will Altor take actions without asking?

Not by default. Altor starts as a read-only investigator — it surfaces a diagnosis for your team to review. You control which action types graduate to auto-approval. Destructive actions are never automated.

What if our stack isn't listed?

If an API exists for your system, we can integrate it. The architecture composes tools — it doesn't hardcode connectors. We've yet to encounter a B2B stack we can't connect to.

What does Altor pricing look like?

Usage-based — you pay per investigation, not per seat. Pricing is quoted in USD ($) with no minimum commitment. We'll scope pricing during the demo based on your ticket volume and systems.

Ticket Backlog

Ticket backlog is the number of unresolved tickets waiting in the queue beyond the team’s normal operating window. In B2B support, backlog is especially dangerous when high-value customers with technical incidents are sitting behind slower investigative work.

Why it matters for B2B support

Backlogs do not usually start because teams stopped answering tickets; they start because investigation takes too long and complex tickets pile up faster than they are diagnosed. Once backlog grows, first response time, SLA compliance, and CSAT all deteriorate together.

How Altor helps

Altor cuts the investigation time that causes technical queues to clog, helping teams clear backlog faster without immediately adding more engineers or restructuring every shift.

FAQ

What usually creates a support backlog?

A surge of technical tickets plus slow manual investigation. Teams can respond quickly, but they cannot resolve tickets fast enough to shrink the queue.

How do teams reduce backlog sustainably?

Increase investigation speed, prioritize high-risk customers correctly, and automate the diagnostic work that prevents tickets from moving forward.
