The countdown.

And while headcount fell, Trustpilot ratings rose during Christmas 2025, reversing a decline that had repeated every peak season for years.

The problem

Every Christmas, more agents. Worse ratings.

Printerpix runs a seasonal e‑commerce business. Every Christmas, ticket volume spikes hard: order questions, shipping delays, returns, refunds. To handle it, Printerpix scaled up to around 60 active customer service agents during peak season.

Even at that headcount, service quality dropped. Trustpilot ratings fell every single Christmas, a predictable pattern of peak season strain that neither Freshdesk nor Zendesk solved.

The switch

An agent that resolves, not a bot that deflects.

Printerpix moved their customer service operation onto Statera Tech's AI agent, live in production and directly handling customer requests end to end. Not a chatbot bolted onto a ticket queue.

“Every other vendor had us adding agents every peak season. This time we went from 60 agents at Christmas to 4 today, and our Trustpilot score went up, not down. That's the number that matters.”
John McManus · CSR Manager, Printerpix
The bottom line

Headcount and satisfaction moved together, not against each other.

Printerpix didn't just automate FAQs. They replaced most of a customer service department while their customers got happier.
