Managing Compliance Across Geographies

When operating across multiple geographies, businesses face an array of regulatory issues (e.g., GDPR in Europe, data residency legislation in Asia, etc.). A global solution for call center operations incorporates each region's required compliance features and functionality, enabling the system to automatically impose the appropriate data handling, record-keeping, and privacy protocols based upon the customer’s location. In addition, Instavo IP automated audits and reporting eliminate the need for a manual process to review compliance activity, thus protecting both the business from the financial impact of non-compliance and also facilitating customer confidence that their information is managed in accordance with local law(s).

Implementing Strategic Distribution to Reduce Expenses

Smart distribution improvements allow for better cost control through the use of regional differences in labor costs and operational efficiencies. Established companies can create new, inexpensive locations to handle all their high-volume, routine inquiries while maintaining a highly-skilled staff in order to handle whatever specialized issues arise in high-end markets. By utilizing a follow-the-sun business model, companies can utilize the full resources of their organization as each region's business day comes to a close, and then can seamlessly move to the next region in the world without the need for high-priced overtime expenses and long customer wait times.

Scaling to Enter New Markets

To be successful, Companies must have a flexible and scalable infrastructure that supports their ability to enter new markets. Using cloud-based solutions to support their global operations, companies can quickly establish their customer service operations in new countries, sometimes in just a matter of days as opposed to months. For example, companies can test out new markets at a low cost and scale their operations depending on the demand without needing to make any long-term investments or commitments.

Global Insights through Integrating Analytics

The integrated analytics developed by creating a global business intelligence tool combine large sets of data to provide insight into the global business operation, rather than providing only insight at the local/regional level. By knowing how often certain products experience problems in a geographical area, what types of service support different geographical cultures prefer, and how good the service is in each geographical area, a business can make informed strategic decisions on how to:

a) Modify a product to better fit the region.

b) Best train, support, and/or provide additional training on how best to provide service to that region.

Competitive Edge for Businesses

Companies that can deliver exceptional customer service on a global basis will create greater brand loyalty, drive customer lifetime value, and help their international growth. In markets where products are becoming increasingly commoditized as a result of the availability of information, the customer experience will be the defining factor in which company wins out in the marketplace. Global call centre excellence is the key to delivering that critical customer experience.
