The volume of rejected tickets and the utilization rate are two of the measures that are valuable to MSPs. Insights from these data help managers and business owners streamline ticketing, improve technicians' skill sets, and assess and plan resource requirements. NextTicket for ConnectWise Manage has bots that help users and managers monitor ticket rejection and utilization rates more proactively. These are the Reject Alert, Rejected Ticket Summary Alert, and Daily Utilization Alerts bots.
