Building a Dedicated Customer Service Team for a Telecommunications Provider
A leading telecommunications provider in Sri Lanka required additional capacity to manage its customer service operations. With a large and continuously active customer base, the organization needed a dedicated team capable of handling customer enquiries, service-related communication, issue escalation, and routine support activities.
Instead of expanding its internal customer service workforce, the company partnered with Formix to establish a 15-person outsourced call centre team in Sri Lanka.
The engagement was designed as a complete BPO solution, with Formix supporting the workforce requirements while the telecommunications provider maintained control over the service standards, operational priorities, and customer experience expectations.
The Challenge
Telecommunications companies manage high volumes of customer interactions every day. Customers require immediate assistance with services, accounts, technical queries, packages, billing, connectivity, and other telecommunications-related matters.
The client therefore needed a team capable of handling customer communication professionally and consistently while working within clearly defined service procedures.
Recruiting individual employees internally would also have required the company to manage sourcing, screening, onboarding, workforce administration, and ongoing employee coordination. The client wanted a more structured outsourced solution that could provide a dedicated team rather than individual recruitment support.
