| Support Fusion | Support Fusion solves a painful, industry-wide problem: when enterprise clients co-manage IT with MSPs, support tickets and operational data must be rekeyed manually between disconnected systems like ServiceNow, ConnectWise, Jira, and Zendesk. This manual work creates delays, increases costs, and obscures performance visibility for both serviceproviders and their customers.By automating this ticket sync from the start, Support Fusion becomes the intelligence layer that sits between ITSM and PSA tools, unlocking time-saving automation across the full managed services lifecycle — from SLA monitoring and onboarding to QBR preparation and upsell identification. | $676.2K | Pre-Seed | Oct 01, 2025 |  |
