How much email notifications could be
costing you in a year

2.
Let’s say that agents need approximately 30 seconds to switch
between their helpdesk and inbox, and decide which ticket to work on.
That’s an additional
30 secs / ticket
The average support agent handles
250 tickets/month, which is:
62.5 tickets / week
Which works out to:
31.25mins / week

3.
Time lost per agent per year = 48 x 31.25 = 25 hours
(assuming 48 working weeks)
Average cost of a support agent = $15 per hour
Average size of a support team = 6 members
What’s the bigger picture?
So, email notifications could be costing
you somewhere in the region of:
$2250
25 x 15 x 6 =
/ year
