What Categories & Sub-categories does

Part of Governance & Service Levels in QuipCRM — Service CRM. The promises you make to the business, written down once and enforced by the system.

01

A shared category and sub-category tree used across every desk

02

Category chosen at intake is what drives SLA tier and routing

03

Keeps reporting comparable across teams instead of each desk inventing its own labels

Where it fits

Service levels the system enforces, not just records

Categories & Sub-categories is 1 of 8 modules in this area. Each one works on the same record.

  1. 01 · You are hereCategories & Sub-categoriesOne taxonomy the whole company files against

The Service CRM workflow, end to end

Categories & Sub-categories supports this flow alongside the other Service CRM modules.

  1. 01

    Raise

    The requester picks a department, sees the matching knowledge base, and only files a ticket if the answer is not already there.

  2. 02

    Route

    Category and tags set the SLA tier; the assignment strategy picks the agent; the notification matrix tells everyone who needs to know.

  3. 03

    Resolve

    The agent works one screen — thread, record, actions and QuipAI — while the SLA clock runs against business hours.

  4. 04

    Learn

    Deflection, accuracy, CSAT and SLA compliance are measured per category, which is what tells you where to let the AI take more.
