FirstLine CX designs, builds, and operates modern Customer Support & CX operating systems for startups and scale-ups.
Our services are delivered through structured programs, depending on your stage and needs:
CX Readiness Program
For early-stage teams that need clarity and control. We audit your current setup, define roles, processes, KPIs, and install the foundations of a scalable support system.CX Bootstrap Program
For teams without a formal CS Ops function. We build your end-to-end support operating system, workflows, playbooks, metrics, dashboards, and AI usage, so support runs consistently without founder dependency.CX Elevation Program
For Series A–B teams with an existing CS function. We optimize performance, connect support data to retention and product decisions, and turn CX into a strategic growth and intelligence engine.CS Ops Continuity Program
Ongoing ownership of your CX system after setup. We maintain, optimize, and evolve your support operations to prevent regression as the company grows.Additional CX/CS services.

FirstLine CX gives you senior CS Ops leadership without the overhead, risk, or ramp-up time of a full-time executive hire.
The difference comes down to focus and speed:
Immediate impact
We start with systems, not headcount. No onboarding period, internal politics, or learning curve.Operator, not manager
We design and implement the CX operating system ourselves, processes, metrics, dashboards, AI usage, rather than delegating and waiting.Stage-appropriate execution
Early and growth-stage teams often don’t need a full-time VP yet. They need structure, clarity, and visibility first.Lower cost, lower risk
You avoid a six-figure salary, long-term commitment, and the risk of a mis-hire before the system is ready.Built to scale past us
Our work is documented, measurable, and transferable—so when you do hire a VP or Head of CS, they inherit a functioning system, not chaos.
And if you decide to continue your journey with us, we`ll be delighted.

FirstLine CX works on program-based pricing, not hourly rates.
Each program has a fixed monthly fee with a clearly defined scope, timeline, and outcomes, typically over a 90-day engagement. This keeps expectations clear and avoids open-ended consulting.
