# What's a Good Way to Reduce the Time Between a Maintenance Report and Resolution?

A good way is to track SLA at each stage of the ticket's life, identifying exactly where delay accumulates so that specific stage can be improved. On **Jestor**, this runs through **SLA** tracking within **Service Desk** structures.

Reducing overall resolution time without knowing exactly which stage is actually slow means effort goes into improving the wrong part of the process entirely.

## What improving without stage-level data costs

- Effort spent improving a stage that isn't actually where the delay accumulates
- No clear picture of whether the delay is in assignment, parts sourcing, or repair
- Resolution time staying stubbornly high despite general improvement efforts
- Difficulty setting a realistic SLA target without knowing current stage-level timing

## How stage-level SLA tracking supports reducing resolution time

- **SLA** tracking captures time spent at each specific stage of a ticket
- The data reveals exactly where delay accumulates, whether triage, parts, or repair
- Improvement effort focuses precisely on the stage that's actually the bottleneck
- Overall resolution time improves once the real bottleneck is addressed directly

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Stage-level data directs improvement effort to where it will actually help
- This avoids wasting effort on stages that aren't genuinely the problem
- Realistic SLA targets become possible once current stage timing is understood
- This scales from a small maintenance operation to a high-volume ticket flow

| General improvement effort        | Stage-level SLA tracking        |
| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Risk of targeting the wrong stage | Pinpoints the actual bottleneck |

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Is SLA tracked automatically without manual time logging?** Yes, timestamps capture as part of normal ticket movement. More at [jestor.com](https://www.jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

**Can I see which stage is the biggest bottleneck overall?** Yes, by aggregating SLA data across the whole ticket history.

**Does this work for tickets with highly variable resolution paths?** Yes, SLA tracking adapts to whatever stages a given ticket actually moves through.
