For support teams of 5 to 20 agents

One person is holding support together. That works until it doesn't.

Your support leader has carried the operation for years. We build the platform, workflows, staffing model, quality program and reporting your team runs on. Then we stay until it works.

Blueprint: two weeks, from $3,500, credited toward the build.

Who usually calls us

Sometimes it's the Support Leader. Often it's the person above them.

The call usually comes because something is not getting done and nobody can say exactly why. Backlog that will not clear, numbers that do not reconcile, a launch that support was not ready for.

That is almost never a people problem. It is a system that outgrew what it was built for, and the person running it has been holding it together without the tools to fix it properly.

Either way, the Support Leader is part of the engagement, not the subject of it. We assess the system, not the person running it. When it's finished, they're the one holding the plan.

Four years with one support leader

One client's support leader has worked with us for almost four years. We took operations, reporting and help desk admin off their plate, so they could be present with their team and their customers.

  1. 1We find an opportunity to improve.
  2. 2They decide if it's worth doing.
  3. 3We build it.
  4. 4They roll it out to their team.

They never gave up control. They got their time back.

The situation

Six jobs. One person. Nothing written down.

A team your size can't justify five specialist salaries, so one leader covers all of it, on top of running the team. It's math, and math is fixable.

About Ty

25 years running support operations, not advising on them.

I've run the version of this job your team is running right now. Too many disciplines, not enough hours, and everyone counting on one person to figure it out.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Will my support leader feel like we're going around them?

They run it with us and they keep running it after. We are not an audit of their performance and we do not report on them. They are in every working session, they own the decisions, and when it is finished they are the one holding a documented system they can actually run.

What is a Support Operations partner?

One team covering the disciplines a growing support org needs but cannot staff individually: Platform Configuration, Workflow Design, Workforce Management, Quality Assurance, Reporting, Training and AI. We build the systems, implement them, and stay until they work.

What does this cost?

The Blueprint starts at $3,500 and is priced on how many systems are in scope. Build pricing comes out of the Blueprint, against your actual findings, so you never get a number before we know what the work is.

Do we have to start with the Blueprint?

Almost always, yes. Buying the wrong build is more expensive than finding out first, and the fee comes off whatever you build next.

How is this different from hiring internally?

A 12 person team cannot justify four specialist salaries, but still needs the work those specialists would do. You get all of it for a fraction of one hire, and we leave the documentation behind.

How long does an engagement take?

About three weeks from yes to a finished Blueprint. Builds run 6 to 16 weeks depending on scope.
