Hey there!
There are more than one way... but here is how I would do it. Obviously any answer is totally dependent on your capabilities, and starting point. Anyway, start answering the following questions:
1) What's most important to your customers? (Top 3)
2) Customer Support Opreation Centers are a low-tech, commodity product/service. Find the most standard, but most focused solutions on either one of the top 3. Don't do it all! You need to be superb in doing one thing at the beginning. Look for chatbots, human-robot-interaction solutions, or even agencies to oursource etc. There are enough out-of-the-box solutions that will help you validate your hypothesis before buidling anything fance. Also most of those solutions are very affordable for a low number of users/months.
3) Estimate the CLV. (aim for CLV>CAC by a lot!)
4) Create a value proposition that is differentiating (BRAND!), in other words:Why should they care about your product (more than others)?
5) Run a test with a couple of first customers to see if it works.
6) Scale, focusing on the features and technology that got you here.
