Run every brand from one support queue.

A multi-brand support desk lets one team handle support for several brands without switching accounts. Each brand keeps its own identity to the customer, while your agents work everything from one shared queue. Solves treats this as a first-class job, not a feature bolted onto the most expensive plan.

The model is deliberately simple. An organisation is your billing and security boundary. Inside it you create one brand per customer-facing identity, and each brand owns one or more mailboxes (its support addresses). Tickets, contacts, saved replies and reports all carry their brand, so the queue stays readable even when three brands are busy at once.

This is the opposite of running a separate workspace per brand, where helpers need an account each, context is split, and someone eventually answers a customer of one brand using another brand's signature. Solves keeps every brand in one place and makes the wrong-brand mistake structurally hard to make.

Picture a small agency that supports two client brands, Harbour and Kiln, plus its own accounts mailbox. Without a multi-brand desk, that is three inboxes, three logins, and a constant risk of mixing them up. With Solves it is one queue: a Harbour order question, a Kiln returns query and an invoice question all sit together, each badged to its brand, each answerable in seconds with the right signature.

Examples of multi-brand businesses

Multi-brand is more common than it sounds. It covers a hosting provider with a main brand and a reseller brand, a retailer running two storefronts, a group that owns a shop and a separate services arm, a charity with a fundraising brand and a services brand, and an agency answering support for several client websites. If you reply from more than one support address as more than one identity, you are already doing multi-brand support, probably the hard way.

A multi-brand strategy that does not punish helpers

A sensible multi-brand strategy keeps each brand recognisable to its own customers while sharing the people, tooling and reporting behind the scenes. The usual blocker is pricing: most helpdesks charge per agent, so the occasional helper who picks up overflow on a busy Monday costs a full seat. Solves uses GBP team bands, so you size the plan to the team and let helpers help without a per-seat penalty.

Around-the-clock cover, kept honest

Multi-brand teams are often asked about 24/7 support: cover for customer enquiries at any hour, every day. Solves is email-first, so it does not run phone lines or live chat shifts. What it gives a small team is a queue that never loses a message, first-response and resolution SLA timers with per-brand targets, and a clear view of what is breaching, so you can offer dependable response times without pretending to staff a contact centre overnight.
