SimpleTicket is highly scalable, capable of handling thousands of tickets per day and a nearly unlimited number of simultaneously working agents.SimpleTicket has integrated functionality for creating, reworking and searching texts.

For example, the incident handling system of Architel, is based on SimpleTicket.
