Inside Pinkcube's Trengo to Service Hub migration

Pinkcube was running B2B and B2C customer support across Trengo and several other systems, with ticket volume past 200,000 and no single place to route, resolve or report. HubXpert moved the entire support operation into HubSpot Service Hub over twenty weeks, without losing a ticket.

CUSTOM MERCHANDISE, TWO CUSTOMER BASES, ONE SUPPORT QUEUE

About Pinkcube

Pinkcube is a Netherlands-based e-commerce company supplying custom merchandise to both business and consumer customers. Those are two different support operations wearing one uniform. A business customer chasing a bulk order and a consumer chasing a single item ask different questions, on different timelines, with different expectations.

Support was running through Trengo alongside several other systems. That worked at a smaller volume. By the time ticket history crossed two hundred thousand, the cost of having support spread across disconnected tools had turned into a structural problem rather than an inconvenience.

The specific damage was in three places: nobody could see the whole queue, nothing routed automatically, and there was no reporting that covered the operation end to end. The team was working hard inside a system that could not tell them whether they were winning.

What You Will Learn:

  • 1 How to migrate a high-volume ticket history without losing service continuity
  • 2 Why B2B and B2C support need separate pipelines rather than separate tools
  • 3 How automated routing changes the economics of a support team
SUPPORT THAT WORKED, ON INFRASTRUCTURE THAT HAD STOPPED

The Challenges

Two hundred thousand tickets is not a number a support operation reaches by accident. Pinkcube was handling real volume and handling it manually, which meant every additional customer added load rather than being absorbed by the system.

  1. 1

    Tickets were scattered across systems.

    Support ran through Trengo and other tools at the same time, which produced delayed responses, incomplete visibility and duplicated work on the same customer.

  2. 2

    Routing was manual.

    Every incoming inquiry had to be read and assigned by a person. At this volume that is a full-time job that produces no value and introduces inconsistency into the customer experience.

  3. 3

    B2B and B2C ran through one undifferentiated queue.

    A bulk corporate order and a single consumer purchase need different handling, different urgency and different people, and nothing in the process reflected that.

  4. 4

    There was no unified reporting.

    Service metrics, agent performance and customer satisfaction could not be tracked across the operation, so leadership had no way to see where time was going or where customers were being lost.

  5. 5

    Two hundred thousand tickets of history could not simply be left behind.

    Service history is the context that makes the next conversation useful. Starting fresh in a new system would have meant every agent losing everything a customer had ever told them.

"Before HubSpot, we were living kind of in chaos with Post-it notes. Every lead, every patient type, and every renewal had to be tracked manually, and our front desk was spending more time managing spreadsheets than focusing on patients."

ONE PLATFORM, FIFTEEN PIPELINES, ROUTING THAT RUNS ITSELF

What We Built

The migration moved the whole operation rather than a part of it, then rebuilt it around how Pinkcube actually supports two different customer bases.

  1. 1

    Over 200,000 historical tickets migrated.

    Every ticket from Trengo and the legacy systems moved into Service Hub with its history intact, so agents opened the new system with the full record of every customer already in it.

  2. 2

    15+ dedicated service pipelines.

    Rather than one queue, pipelines were built per service category across the B2B and B2C operations, so each kind of request follows a path designed for it.

  3. 3

    50+ automation rules for routing.

    Incoming tickets route automatically by channel, query type and urgency, so every inquiry reaches the correct team on arrival instead of waiting for someone to triage it.

  4. 4

    Automatic transfer between pipelines.

    Workflows move tickets between pipelines as their status changes, which removes the stagnation that happens when a ticket needs a different team and nobody notices.

  5. 5

    Transactional email on order and support events.

    Order status, support confirmations and post-resolution updates send automatically, which removes a large share of the inbound contacts that exist only because the customer did not know what was happening.

  6. 6

    CSAT surveys on ticket closure.

    Satisfaction surveys trigger when a ticket closes, turning service quality from an impression into a tracked number.

  7. 7

    Dashboards for leadership and the service team.

    Agent performance, first-response times and satisfaction scores are visible in real time, so operational efficiency is measurable rather than assumed.

  8. 8

    Service and sales connected.

    Sales Hub Professional features were integrated so the two teams share visibility, which improves handoffs and account management on the B2B side in particular.

Our front desk team used to spend hours each week manually logging leads and chasing renewal calls. With HubSpot handling confirmations, reminders, and renewal nudges automatically, that time now goes straight into patient care. The dashboards also mean we stop guessing which campaigns are actually working.

MIGRATE THE HISTORY, THEN REBUILD THE OPERATION

How We Got There

A migration of this size is a sequence. The ticket history had to arrive intact before pipelines could be designed around real categories, and the pipelines had to exist before routing could be automated into them.

Phase 1

Audit and mapping

Mapped the existing support operation across Trengo and the legacy systems, and defined the service categories the new structure would need.

Phase 2

Pipeline design

Designed 15+ service pipelines covering the B2B and B2C operations before anything was built.

Phase 3

Ticket migration

Migrated over 200,000 historical tickets into Service Hub with data accuracy and service continuity maintained.

Phase 4

Automation

Built 50+ routing rules plus the workflows that transfer tickets between pipelines as status changes.

Phase 5

Customer communication

Enabled transactional emails for order status, support confirmation and post-resolution updates, and deployed CSAT surveys on closure.

Phase 6

Reporting and handover

Built the dashboards for agent performance, response times and satisfaction, integrated Sales Hub visibility, and handed over to the team.

A SUPPORT OPERATION THAT SCALES WITH THE BUSINESS

The Outcomes

Pinkcube now runs all customer service inside HubSpot Service Hub. Tickets arrive, route themselves to the right team, move between pipelines as they progress, and produce a satisfaction score when they close.

Delivery timeline

200,000+ tickets migrated successfully. The full service history moved into Service Hub, so agents work with the complete record of every customer rather than starting from nothing.

Manual handling reduced by over 60%. Automated workflows and intelligent routing took the triage and assignment work off the team, which is time that returns directly to customers.

Every inquiry reaches the right team on arrival. 50+ routing rules place tickets by channel, query type and urgency rather than by whoever picks them up first.

Customer satisfaction became measurable. CSAT surveys trigger on closure, giving a consistent and quantifiable read on service quality for the first time.

Leadership has full real-time visibility. Dashboards replaced fragmented data with centralized metrics on agent performance, response times and satisfaction.

Service and sales share a view. Sales Hub integration improved handoffs and account management, which matters most on the B2B side where the same customer is both a support case and an account.

"We enjoy working with HubSpot because they have an allround team. They are communicative and helpful. Their strength lies in execution; creating content, api's, workflows ..they can do it all. Give them an assignment and they start flying. Sometimes this eagerness makes them start working when they don't exactly understand what they need to do yet. Most likely due to cultural differences."

WHAT THE OPERATION LOOKS LIKE NOW

Inside the Portal

A look at the operation as it runs today: the pipeline structure behind it, the routing logic, the live service dashboard, and a migrated ticket carrying its full history.

What's visible inside the portal now:
  • The pipeline structure across B2B and B2C, since fifteen pipelines is the clearest evidence of how the operation was rebuilt.

  • The routing logic, showing how channel, query type and urgency determine destination.

  • The service dashboard with agent performance, first-response time and satisfaction.

  • A migrated ticket with its full pre-migration history attached.

WHAT SUPPORT TEAMS ASK BEFORE MIGRATING

Frequently asked questions

  • Yes. Over 200,000 historical tickets were migrated into Service Hub with data accuracy and continuity maintained, so agents kept the full customer record.

  • Twenty weeks for Pinkcube, covering audit and mapping, pipeline design, the ticket migration itself, automation, customer communication and reporting.

  • They need different handling rather than different tools. Pinkcube runs 15+ pipelines inside one Service Hub instance, which keeps the operation unified while the paths stay distinct.

  • At Pinkcube it reduced manual ticket handling and assignment by over 60%. At high volume, triage is a full-time job that produces no value on its own.

  • Not necessarily, but Pinkcube runs both. The integration gives service and sales shared visibility, which matters where the same customer is an account as well as a support case.
