DELIVERY MODELS

Choose where your contact centre team works

The work might suit an Australian office-based team, remote staff or a mix of your people and ours. We’ll help compare the options against your customer needs and service hours, including the training and management each requires.

THE RESPONSIBILITY YOU CHOOSE

Decide what you want us to manage

You can keep the team you have and add support where it’s needed. If you want to outsource the complete operation, we can discuss the setup and ongoing management together.

Whole-centre management

Setup, staffing, daily supervision and service reporting brought together.

A managed function

An outbound team, inbound desk or overflow service alongside your operation.

Support for your people

Recruitment, training, integration and improvement for an existing team.

AUSTRALIA / NEW ZEALAND

Plan coverage around your customers

Service hours need to follow your customers’ time zones, including daylight-saving changes. We also look at language, local service expectations and the information staff will need access to.

For New Zealand customers, plan local calling hours, language and service expectations alongside Australian coverage. If you need locally based staff, we establish workforce availability and arrangements before proposing delivery.

What the service involves

An Australian-based team working from a contact centre or office. We can establish the physical operation, organise the technology, recruit and train staff, and manage the day-to-day work. You can also retain management within your business.

What needs to be agreed

The location, workspace, equipment and connectivity, along with the skills and customer knowledge staff need. We agree who provides the premises and which setup and management responsibilities we will handle.

Useful when

Local customer knowledge, complex conversations or close collaboration with your retained team are important.

Costs to allow for

Include supervision, training and technology as well as agent hours. Confirm how much coverage the quoted staffing provides.

Remote contact centre operations

What the service involves

Staff working remotely, using the calling platform and customer systems with supervision and support during their shifts.

What needs to be agreed

Equipment and reliable connectivity matter, as do secure access and useful service guidance. Agree how managers will supervise quality, organise rosters and cover an outage.

Useful when

You want to recruit beyond one office location or provide coverage through a distributed team.

Costs to allow for

Remote staff still need equipment, secure access and day-to-day supervision. Include continuity arrangements rather than assuming the home workspace covers everything.

Offshore delivery

What the service involves

Offshore staffing through a suitable partner, where it suits the customer work and your business requirements.

What needs to be agreed

We need to confirm a suitable partner, staffing capacity and the arrangements for moving the work. Overseas data access must also be agreed. Offshore delivery remains a developing partner option.

Useful when

The work is repeatable and can be supported by reliable service information. We would need to confirm a suitable location and partner before proposing delivery.

Costs to allow for

Compare staffing rates with the cost of the handover, management and quality checks. Currency changes and overseas data arrangements can affect the total.

Blended or co-sourced

What the service involves

Your staff and an outsourced team sharing the work. For example, you might keep specialist enquiries in-house and use an external team for initial contact or overflow.

What needs to be agreed

Which tasks each team handles, how customer information moves between them and who deals with problems that cross the boundary.

Useful when

You want to retain specialist decisions while adding external customer-contact capacity, overflow or supporting processes.

Costs to allow for

Allow for the work your own staff keep doing, including referrals and approvals. Shared reporting helps you see the service as a whole.

REMOTE DOES NOT MEAN UNMANAGED

Remote teams still need active management

Remote agents need the same access to guidance and help as staff in an office. Managers must be able to review work, coach people and deal with difficult enquiries. Those responsibilities form part of the staffing arrangement.
