Customer Support Center Setup

E-Commerce Brand

A fast-growing e-commerce brand had outgrown a founder-and-a-few-inboxes support model and was drowning in 5,000+ daily tickets. Bricksense stood up a full support operation in three months.

The Challenge

Ticket volume had tripled in a year. Response times were measured in days, the same questions were answered from scratch every time, and there was no reporting to plan staffing against.

The brand needed trained agents, a proper helpdesk, quality standards, and coverage across time zones — fast, and without the founders running it.

Our Approach

1

Operating model

We defined channels, hours, tiers, and escalation paths, and sized the team against forecast volume.

2

Helpdesk & knowledge base

A configured helpdesk with macros, routing, and a maintained internal knowledge base for consistent answers.

3

Recruit & train

Agents recruited for the brand's voice and trained on product, tone, and policy before going live.

4

QA & WFM

Scorecard-based quality reviews and forecast-driven scheduling to hold service levels.

The Solution

A dedicated team now covers email and chat across extended hours, working from a helpdesk with templated answers and a knowledge base, to defined quality standards.

The founders get weekly reporting on volume, response time, resolution, and satisfaction instead of a full inbox.

What We Delivered

  • Support operating model and staffing plan
  • Configured helpdesk with routing, macros, and SLAs
  • Maintained internal knowledge base
  • Recruited and trained agent team with QA scorecards
  • Workforce management and weekly performance reporting

The Results

First response time dropped from days to under two hours, with 96% of tickets resolved without escalation and customer satisfaction at 4.9 out of 5.

The operation handles 5,000+ tickets a day and scales with promotional spikes, entirely off the founders' plates.
