Operational & Infrastructure Update

Despite ongoing lockdown and travel restrictions we are delighted that we continue to grow our client base, and the international territories that we now support.

We have recently welcomed four UK energy suppliers, a home furnishing retailer, and a leading catalogue business to our portfolio, providing a range of customer service, back office, and debt collection solutions.

Our international footprint now includes the USA where we are providing nationwide customer service solutions for one of our retail clients. Given the customer time zones we support we are a genuine 24/7 operation.  

To support our growth, we have expanded our premises not only to incorporate our new business, but importantly we have significant capacity for additional growth.

Covid-19 excuse fatigue

According to a report on the BBC News website today, the number of complaints about poor customer service in the last six months was at its highest level since 2009.

Research conducted by the UK Institute of Customer Service reports that, whilst initially sympathetic, consumers are now getting fed up with being told they are receiving poor customer service “due to Covid”.

Inevitably the effects of Covid-19 and the surge in online shopping combined to over-stretch many customer service departments and contact centres. However, as life starts to return to normality, companies need to regain the trust of their customers by improving their CX offering.

If your customer service department is fielding more calls than it can handle with call waiting times and complaints increasing, we would welcome the opportunity to outline how we could be of benefit and how we have solved these challenges for our clients.

Our business continues to grow

In the last couple of weeks we have responded to an urgent request from one of our retail clients. They have asked us to enlarge the size of their customer service team to cope with the expected increased consumer demand due to the new lock down in the UK, as well as the forthcoming Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales events.

In addition we are delighted that in the last three months three Utility and two Retail businesses have placed their trust in Synergy Outsourcing.

Due to the lock down, and travel restrictions, we have successfully transitioned all our new business remotely with daily project meetings managed through the wonders of video conferencing.

We have capacity

We currently have further resource and a rapidly scalable solution ready to help your business with its customer service, back office or collections requirements. Our advisors, experienced in utilities (B2B and B2C), telecoms, retail, broadband and gaming, can be fully brand-trained remotely and be operational in as little as two weeks.
