Use cases

Four ways teams set Dredo up

The product is the same in every case. What changes is how you split teams, which ticket types you set up, and who's allowed to open a request.

Support teams outgrowing a shared mailbox

Three or four people answering from the same address. Nobody can tell what's still open or who replied last. It works until two of you answer the same customer differently on the same day.

Shared inbox vs. Dredo
A typical setup
Your support address connected, so nothing changes for customers
Round-robin auto-assignment across the team
One SLA target per priority, and a saved view for each person
Usually fits on Free or Starter

Freelancers and agencies with several clients

Take Viper Solutions. One person building and maintaining websites and webapps for local businesses. Fifteen clients, all of whom have your mobile number. Requests come in by WhatsApp, email and phone call, and there's no record of what was agreed.

Give each client a portal and the requests land in one place with the context already attached. The client can see their form fix is in progress without calling to ask.

A typical setup
Ticket types for site issue, content change and new feature
A user group per client, so each one only sees their own requests
Your logo and colours on the portal, on your own domain, with no mention of Dredo
A separate workspace when a client needs full isolation
White label and custom domain start on Pro

SaaS and product companies

You want a support channel that looks deliberate from day one. And bug reports that arrive complete, not as "it doesn't work".

A typical setup
Custom fields for plan, browser and steps to reproduce
A first-line team and an engineering team, with automations that escalate between them
The API and webhooks to wire tickets into your own product
API and webhooks need Pro or Business

Internal teams: IT, HR, operations

Your customers are your colleagues. The requests are laptops, access, holidays and purchase approvals. Right now they reach you in the hallway.

A typical setup
Domain-restricted sign-up, so only your staff can open tickets
A ticket type per request, each asking for what the approval needs
User groups by department, with the SLAs the business signed off on
Domain-restricted sign-up starts on Starter

By sector, in one line each

You build from the same handful of pieces every time. Ticket types, user groups and teams add up to something very different from one business to the next.

Local services and trades

Quote requests, callouts and warranty claims. Ticket types ask for the address and the model up front, so nobody drives out twice.

Online shops

Order status, returns and refunds. A custom field for the order number turns three emails into one, and buyers track their own return in the portal.

Web and app studios

Site issues, content changes and new features, kept separate per client so maintenance stops coming in as favours over WhatsApp.

SaaS and digital products

Bug reports with steps to reproduce, billing questions and feature requests. Each one escalates from first line to engineering by rule.

Clinics, schools and associations

Appointments, documents and enrolment questions. Sign-up is restricted, so only your own members can open a request.

Property and facilities management

Repairs and incidents per building, with priorities and SLA so the urgent leak doesn't queue behind a parking question.

A day in the queue

What a day on Dredo looks like, hour by hour.

09:00
Open your saved view

Not the whole queue, just yours. Assigned to me, sorted by what's closest to breaching its SLA.

09:20
Answer the easy three

Canned responses for the questions you've answered forty times. Edit a line and send.

11:00
Hand one over properly

Reassign it, leave an internal note with what you already checked, and follow the ticket so you see how it ends.

15:30
Snooze what's waiting on someone else

It leaves your view and comes back when there's something to do, instead of just sitting there.

18:00
Queue's clear

And if it isn't, you can say exactly what's left and who has it.

Shared inbox 3 open

Your first hour, in order

Do these five things and you're running. The rest can wait until you miss it.

01
Create the workspace and add your branding

Name, logo, colours. This is what customers will see.

02
Connect your support address

The one customers already write to. From then on, new mail becomes tickets.

03
Invite your team and set roles

One team is plenty on day one. Split it later, when it starts to hurt.

04
Create two or three ticket types

The requests you get every week. Have each one ask for the field you always end up chasing.

05
Set one SLA target

A first-response time you can actually keep. Tighten it once you can see your numbers.
