Escalation and handover management moves a complex or breaching-SLA ticket from a front-line agent to the right specialist team. Done by hand, it depends on guesswork to find the right owner and on manual chasing to confirm someone picked it up.
The automated version reads the ticket, identifies the reason and correct team, and drafts the handover summary on its own. It then tracks acknowledgement against the SLA and confirms the customer has been updated, closing the loop without agent follow-up.
