Helpdesk scripts will do that. For example, www.kayako.com

Most of the modern ticketing systems have email support as well. Your users do not have to go to a site at all. They can just email support@yourdomain.tld and it will open a ticket for them and assign a tracking number like you require. When you reply via the ticketing system it will send an email back to your user.
