What is Resolution Time?

How long it takes to fully resolve a customer's issue from start to finish.

Resolution time is the total duration from when a customer raises an issue to when it is completely solved. Unlike first response time, which measures the first reply, resolution time measures the end-to-end outcome.

Shorter resolution times mean happier customers and more efficient teams. They're achieved through good self-service, well-organised inboxes, fast access to information, and effective handoffs.

Tracking resolution time reveals bottlenecks in the support process and where automation can help.
