Issuebear is a self-hosted support ticketing system designed specifically for SaaS businesses that provide business-to-business (B2B) support. The platform addresses the need for companies to manage client support requests within their own environment, emphasizing data privacy and control. Its interface is described as simple and accessible, aiming to streamline the process of answering support requests, measuring client satisfaction, and managing service level agreements.
The tool offers a range of features focused on ticket and client management. Users can prioritize tickets based on client value, impact, urgency, or a calculated score called Helium, which factors in client and ticket age. Both internal and client-facing ticket statuses can be customized and color-coded, allowing teams to track the state of each request. Tickets can be assigned to agents, teams, or even clients, with options for round robin assignment. Issuebear also supports routing rules, collision detection, custom queues, related tickets, private notes, and attachments. Client management capabilities include client notes, contact details, user tags, and multi-factor authentication. The platform enables clients to log in, view their requests, and reply, including on behalf of colleagues.
Automation features are integrated, with support for canned responses, routing, and other workflow automations. Service levels can be defined for response, resolution, and update times, helping businesses formalize commitments to their clients. Reporting tools are available to help teams measure performance and client happiness. Additional customization options include markdown entry, dark mode, and announcements.
Issuebear integrates with GitHub via webhooks, allowing internal ticket statuses to update automatically as pull requests are created or merged, while keeping internal statuses hidden from customers. AI helpers can be connected using ChatGPT or Claude with the user's own API keys, enabling features like automatic ticket summarization and tagging to save support team time.
The platform is built and registered in Scotland by TeamWeb Limited. It is positioned as a solution for B2B SaaS companies seeking a self-hosted alternative to traditional help desk software, with an emphasis on privacy, customization, and efficient client support.
