Recap

Last Quarter's Goal

First-Response Time Under 2 Hours

Starting point: ~4 hours average · Ambitious but critical

Brightline's support volume was growing fast. We agreed that speed to first response was the #1 metric to move — it's the foundation of customer trust during peak e-commerce seasons.

Target: 2h 00m · 35% under goal

Win Story

Black Friday Weekend

6,200

tickets resolved

Friday – Sunday

Zero Backlog by Monday CSAT Held at 88%
"The team didn't just survive Black Friday — they thrived. Reso's workflows and routing kept everything moving. Monday morning, the queue was clean."

This is what operational resilience looks like at scale.

Opportunity

The Returns Team Gap

8 Agents

Still on email — outside Reso

No visibility, no analytics, no automation

~40% of Tickets

Are simple WISMO queries

"Where is my order?" — repetitive, low-complexity

This is both a risk (untracked work, inconsistent experience) and a massive opportunity (automation can unlock this team).

ROI

Real Savings, Real Impact

~$90k

Saved in Avoided Hires

Faster resolutions with Reso meant Brightline didn't need ~2 additional support agents this year.

Efficiency Gains Same Headcount, +30% Volume $48k Contract → $90k Saved

Reso's annual cost is roughly half of what Brightline saved in headcount alone.

The Ask

Renewal + AI-Autoresponder

Renew 40 Seats

~$48k/year

Lock in the foundation that delivered these results.

Add AI-Autoresponder

+$12k/year

Auto-handles ~40% of tickets — WISMO, order status, basic FAQs.

AI Handles ~40% Agents handle the rest 🎯 Frees the Returns team from WISMO overload

Total: ~$60k/year — still well under the $90k they already saved.
