Migrate your Tender Support data
Lightweight helpdesk ticketing platform with straightforward agent-based pricing and a 14-day full-feature trial.
In its favor
Why people choose Tender Support
The signal that keeps Tender Support on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Built-in community forums and knowledge base alongside the ticketing engine — Tender Support combines public discussion spaces for common issues with private channels for sensitive matters, giving small teams a unified support surface without bolt-on KB tooling.
Predictable two-tier pricing ($49 or $99/month base) plus per-agent add-on, suitable for small teams that want simple math without volume-based surprises.
14-day full-feature free trial reduces evaluation friction relative to sales-led helpdesk platforms.
Lightweight feature set — queues, assignments, activity filters, automatic follow-up reminders — keeps daily workflow simple for solo-and-small teams that have outgrown shared inboxes.
Public-private channel model fits SaaS or community-driven products where many support questions can be resolved through visible peer answers rather than 1:1 tickets.
No public API or developer portal — automation, integration, and migration tooling rely on admin-generated bulk exports rather than programmatic access.
Per-agent billing applies from the first seat with no free viewer tier, which gets expensive once a team passes a few agents and a base-tier minimum.
No native SLA object or escalation engine; teams that need first-response or resolution-time tracking outgrow the product fast.
Limited third-party review volume on G2 and Capterra makes independent quality assessment difficult relative to peers like Freshdesk, Zendesk, or Zoho Desk.
Light feature set vs. mainstream competitors — once teams want pipelines, automation rules, or multi-brand routing, they migrate to Freshdesk, Zendesk for Customer Service, or Zoho Desk per G2's documented alternatives list.

What gets migrated
Tender Support object support
Object-by-object support for Tender Support migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Tickets
Fully supportedThe primary work unit in Tender Support. Tickets contain a subject, body, status, and a full conversation thread. We export all open and closed tickets with their full message history, preserving internal vs. public messages via a status flag at the message level.
Customers
Fully supportedCustomer records are linked to tickets and hold name, email, and optional metadata. We map these to Contacts or end-user profiles in the destination, preserving the email address as the primary identifier and any custom attributes as custom properties.
Agents
Mapping requiredAgent accounts are user records with a name, email, and role (admin or regular). We map Agent assignment on tickets to Assignee or handler fields in the destination. Note that the destination's seat count may not align 1:1 with Tender Support's per-agent billing model.
Labels
Mapping requiredTender Support uses a flat label system for ticket categorisation rather than a hierarchical category tree. We translate Labels into Tags or Categories in the destination, flagging any label with no clear equivalent for manual review.
Attachments
Fully supportedFile attachments on ticket messages are referenced by URL. We download each attachment to local storage during migration and re-upload to the destination ticket, preserving original filenames and content types.
Custom Ticket Fields
Mapping requiredTender Support supports per-ticket custom fields defined by the admin. Field types and names vary by site. We discover all active custom fields during discovery, map each to a corresponding custom field in the destination, and flag any type mismatches (e.g., dropdown vs. free text) for resolution.
Internal Notes
Fully supportedMessages marked as internal notes are distinct from public replies in Tender Support's data model. We preserve the internal visibility flag during import so notes land as internal or private notes in the destination system rather than customer-facing replies.
SLA Policies
Not in this platformTender Support does not have a native SLA object or first-response/resolution-time tracking feature. No SLA data exists to migrate. If the destination enforces SLA policies, these must be configured independently post-migration.
Knowledge Base Articles
Not in this platformThe Tender Support product does not include a built-in knowledge base or self-service portal. We do not encounter KB content during standard ticket migrations.
Workflows / Automations
Not in this platformTender Support does not expose a workflow automation engine via its API. Any rules-based ticket routing, auto-assignment, or triggered actions configured in Tender Support are not exportable and must be re-implemented in the destination platform.
