Transforming a ticket spreadsheet into a Service Desk means every request gets automatic intake, SLA tracking, and status visibility — instead of a spreadsheet row someone updates manually whenever they remember to. In **Jestor**, this replaces the spreadsheet with the dedicated **Service Desk** structure.

Tracking support tickets in a spreadsheet works only as long as volume stays low enough for manual updates to keep pace — which rarely lasts long.

## What ticket spreadsheets struggle with

- No automatic intake — someone has to manually add a row for each new request
- No SLA visibility into how long a ticket has been open
- Status only as current as the last manual update
- No connection between the ticket and the client or project it relates to

## How the transformation to a Service Desk works

- Upload the ticket-tracking spreadsheet as the starting structure
- E-mail or **WhatsApp** intake creates tickets automatically going forward
- **SLA** tracking shows exactly how long each ticket has been at each stage
- Tickets connect relationally to the client or project record they relate to

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Automatic intake removes the manual row-adding step spreadsheets required
- SLA tracking gives visibility spreadsheets never provided
- Tickets stay connected to the broader client or project relationship
- The transition starts from the existing spreadsheet, not a blank system

| Ticket spreadsheet          | Structured Service Desk                 |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Manual row entry per ticket | Automatic intake via e-mail or WhatsApp |
