Difficulty: Moderate
The Problem
Frustrations with Support:
Competitor Landscape
- Zendesk/Intercom (customer support, not vendor-side)
- Forethought (AI for CS, not vendor ops)
- Rootly (incident mgmt)
- Jira Service Management
Must-Have Features for MVP
Automatic context collector (store config, app versions, failing requests)
Sandbox repro harness with redacted payloads
Vendor-specific ticket templates and artifact bundles
SLA watchdog with escalation rules and vendor scorecards
Synthetic monitors for critical flows (checkout, fulfillment, sync)
Runbook generation and searchable incident knowledge base
Slack/Teams integration for war rooms
Post-fix validation and ticket auto-closure
⚠️ Potential Challenges
- Accessing sufficient logs/telemetry from platforms and apps
- Vendor variability in ticket intake quality and escalation paths
- Safely reproducing issues with realistic but anonymized data
Risk Level: Minimal
🎯 Keys to Success
- 50% faster mean time to resolution
- Significant reduction in ticket back-and-forth
- Recovered SLA credits from vendors
- Growing store-specific knowledge to prevent regressions
