The Key Benefits of e-Commerce Customer Care Outsourcing — Reaching a New League in the Ever-More-Competitive Market
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is becoming more evident that there is a need for startups, small, medium, and large businesses, and corporations to expand the reach of their brands’ recognition to a more dynamic audience of consumers via the means of outsourcing. The new era of commerce — that is eCommerce — is booming; now is the time to take advantage of this new industrial movement so that providers of products/services can get on top of the competition. Callnovo International is 100% committed to providing industries the necessary state-of-the-art tools to grow and to successfully become conglomerates in the worldwide industrial market.
“Outsourcing” — that is, the idea of utilizing an external 3rd party to perform functions of a 1st party’s business — is an antique idea despite the fact that it is clearly becoming a vital function in today’s commerce and e-Commerce needs. Some of the oldest records that we have of the concept of outsourcing is from the late 19th Century when ship crews would receive outsourced crewmen with certain skills at a cheaper price so that crews could do their work more efficiently and not have to pay their crewman so much; likewise, during this time period, India was an outsourcing destination for the British textile industry’s supplies — while India also shipped the raw material used for clippers ships sails to Scotland for the manufacturing of the ships’ sails. During the 20th Century, Great Britain outsourced their legal and accounting services to take advantage of the case-law system; under this system, cases were required to be solved by qualified specialists who had already successfully solved similar cases and had a notable track record — meaning that specialists could broaden their consulting options and eventually become outsourcing law firms. As a result, Great Britain became very successful, even forming what is called “The Big Four” — the largest, most successful professional service networks in the world, consisting of the enterprises, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, Ernst & Young Global Limited, KPMG International Limited, and PricewaterhouseCoopers. Also during the 20th Century, General Motors found a way out of bankruptcy through the outsourcing efforts of Alfred P. Sloan Jr. who took over GM during the year of 1921; not only did GM evade the dangers of bankruptcy — but, it also got ahead in competition versus the Ford Motor Company.
As early as the 19th Century, we have seen that outsourcing has brought grand success to many different industrial businesses — a type of success that industries couldn’t have ever dreamed of; outsourcing has evolved in many different ways and — because of the COVID-19 pandemic — has shown to provide businesses and corporations many different advantages — especially when it comes to eCommerce customer care outsourcing. A boom of eCommerce is changing the way that consumers purchase their products/services online as a result of the pandemic — we notice that e-Commerce customer care outsourcing is a highly-demanded service; by outsourcing this type of customer care, every startup, business, and corporation can take advantage of the following:
- Save Money and Resources — by outsourcing eCommerce customer care support, industries are able to save money and resources the following way (non-extensive): (1) they are able to save on the costs that they would pay for hiring onboard client service staff, (2) they are able to save the time needed to develop and complete projects by allowing more efficient and effective offshore and offsite professionals to take over these projects at a cut of the cost, (3) they are able to save costs on infrastructure development by allowing professionals offshore and offsite professionals to make the necessary infrastructural changes at a cut of the cost that industries would spend to do such work onsite, and (4) they are able to save on in-house training and recruitment costs since offshore and offsite partners already have the right professionals needed to take care of all the outsourcing business’/corporations’ needs.
- Higher Level of Effectiveness — outsourcing customer service allows customer care professionals to provide more efficient client-consumer solutions since these professionals share a higher level of expertise and also specialize in this area of client-consumer relations.
- 24-hour Customer Care Accessibility — outsourcing is a highly-effective means of providing consumers the customer service that they need at the time that they need it since customer care professionals are available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week; this is a major advantage since onsite businesses do not have staff that work ‘round the clock and can ensure that consumers do not have to wait for their needs to be met.
- Natural Disaster and Risk Management — by outsourcing customer care, startups, small, medium, and large businesses, and corporations can minimize the risk of not being able to provide customer service during times where there may be a natural disaster, technical crisis, or market fluctuation issue; if issues like this arise, industrial clients can be assured that offshore and offsite professionals will be available when consumers need them to provide solutions to all their consumer issues — also bringing businesses/corporations back on track as a hidden — but very important — benefit.
- Mitigation of Work Force Fluctuation — at times where there may be fluctuation in the work force of onsite businesses/corporations, there is the assurance that customer service professionals will be available to take care of consumer issues at any time — even during holiday seasons and festivities.
By taking advantage of e-Commerce customer care outsourcing, it is 100% guaranteed that startups can become successful small businesses with a vision for the future, medium and large businesses can become seasoned corporations that play in the big leagues, and corporations can become conglomerates that appreciate having the world at their footsteps as they focus on continuing to sell to consumers the security and peace of mind that comes from using their tried and trusted products/services.

CRM is the fastest growing and most widely used system available and prides itself in giving CSRs a complete overview of every consumer during the entire life-cycle of their interactions with each CSR; CSRs can collaborate with each other in multiple CSR accounts as well as with their clients’ staff. In addition to this, CSRs can see each consumer’s history, the status of each consumer’s issue, each consumer’s social media activity (if applicable), campaign and lead information (if applicable), and more. The system is so beneficial that it can move businesses forward in shifting them from just being productive to being inherently consumer-centered; this not only ensures that consumer needs are met — but also ensures that businesses actively grow. Furthermore, one of the best perks that the system provides is the ability to manage issues across the different communication channels (phone call, live chat, e-mail, social media, etcetera) without losing track of the issues; being able to connect many functions and those that utilize them on one platform is pricelessly valuable for delivering vitally important experiences in a connected way.
