With the global pandemic of COVID-19, many online essential service companies are seeing an unprecedented increase in customer demand. An online retail demand service in the United States is one such company.
The client experienced a rapid increase in customers needing their services, which, through our global network, lead them to reach out to Capability BPO. Our capability backed by a testimonial from an existing international client attesting to our services saw Capability BPO quickly gaining the clients trust in our ability to become one of their BPO solutions partners of choice.
The scope of services included the need for a solutions partner to be flexible, nimble in delivery and have the ability to proactively plan for future growth, having to scale and ramp up to rapidly meet customer demand.
