Nowadays many companies have focused on providing exceptional service to their customer as part of the long-term business agenda and having a call centre to assist their clients in terms of customer service or sales support proves to be beneficial to their company’s image.
By definition, a call centre is a department that is centralized whereby incoming phone calls or email from current and prospective customers are attended by the call agents to handle their queries. Call centres will also handle outbound calls when necessary which the call centre is either located within a company’s premises or is outsourced to another company that specializes in call centre service.
Depending on the company’s requirements for the call centre set up, more and more companies have either choose to outsource their call centre or set up a cloud-based call centre in their company instead of an on-site call centre. The reason is largely due to the fact that setting up an on-site call centre will cost the company more time, resources and investments as they will need to allocate an office space for the call centre. This includes the necessary infrastructure, manpower, hardware, and software plus additional time to test the system to ensure that the call centre is operational and ready to handle calls and emails.
On the other hand, outsourcing the call centre to a third party company may be convenient but will cost the company a significant amount of money to maintain the contractual service provided. However, for many small and medium enterprise, this may prove to be a challenge due to their limited funds to engage a third party call centre for their services. Thus the next best option is to set up a cloud-based call centre instead.
As compared to setting up an on-site call centre, there are many advantages to set up the cloud based call centre as it helps the company to save money in terms of hardware, software, training and administrative costs. Companies who invest in setting up a cloud-based call centre also enjoy the flexibility of employing call agents who are home-based to handle the inbound/outbound calls or emails as all the agents required is just a laptop installed with the software and a speakerphone to communicate with the customer.
Although there are many companies in Singapore that specialize in call centre services, there are few companies that have a strong reputation and experience in helping their clients to set up the cloud-based call centre.
