Step 3: Define Clear Objectives And KPIs For Success

A definitive step in selecting BPO services in South Africa is to ensure that you set precise goals for your outsourcing initiatives. We advise that you establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the success of your outsourced operations, don’t be left in the dark – or lost in translation. We at Procera will collaborate with you and your team closely to define clear objectives and KPIs. 

Our modus operandi is to ensure that our goals align with your business strategy. 

We achieve this by providing regular reports and updates to monitor progress and performance, giving you peace of mind that everything is handled with exceptional expertise and efficiency. We don’t just talk the talk, we walk it, and pave the way for others to follow. 

Outline A Detailed Contract

Step 4: Outline A Detailed Contract

Before anything – create a comprehensive agreement outlining the scope of work you require along with service level agreements (SLAs), timelines, and get clear, transparent pricing. Ensure all terms and conditions are clearly defined before entering into any BPO engagement. This sets you up for business success right from the beginning. 

The benefit of partnering with Procera is that our legal team will assist in drafting a detailed contract which covers all aspects of the outsourcing engagement. We take extraordinary care to ensure that every contract is transparent and mutually beneficial, providing you with reassurance and clarity. By getting this correct from the beginning, you solidify Procera as your best choice for South African BPO. 

Set Up Reliable Communication Channels

Step 5: Set Up Reliable Communication Channels

It’s vitally important to establish clear communication channels to ensure smooth collaboration between your in-house team and the outsourcing partner you have chosen. Define points of contact, communication protocols, and regular meeting schedules. Without clear and reliable communication channels, your business may be speaking to your customers or clients in a language they simply don’t understand. 

Unbeknownst to you, your business could face severe impact on reputation, loyalty and trust in your company if not monitored correctly. The reason Procera stands out in this regard is our steadfast commitment to effective communication. Without this, your outsourcing initiative could face significant challenges. Nobody likes a half-job, and neither do we. 

Procera guarantees seamless communication. This is a top-tier priority for any outsourcing initiative. Procera provides dedicated omnichannel communication methods assigned to the correct account managers in each of those avenues. We also schedule regular meetings to ensure you are always informed and involved in the process, whilst we take care of business. It’s cost effective and has the perfect time-zone alignment globally, too.

Successful Outsourcing Starts With Knowledge

Step 6: Successful Outsourcing Starts With Knowledge

A common challenge most companies in the UK face when outsourcing to other regions of the world is lack of industry knowledge, Western business best practices and cultural nuances are drastically lacking. Having your business speaking in one persona and the other half in a completely different one is simply a recipe for disaster. 

It’s important to conduct thorough training sessions to transfer necessary knowledge and information of your business and its processes to the outsourcing team. Without a good understanding of your business processes, culture, and expectations – you may as well be wasting money. We’ve seen a multitude of SMEs and large corporations fall very quickly due to lack of proper service. 

At Procera, we think differently. We promote comprehensive knowledge transfer sessions involving key stakeholders and experts from your team. Our onboarding process establishes a full and comprehensive understanding of your business processes so you are prepared for anything, anytime. Our team is fully equipped to handle your business operations efficiently; But don’t just take our word for it, get in touch with Procera and experience a new level of South African outsourcing for the UK.

Monitor And Manage The Business Transition

Step 7: Monitor And Manage The Business Transition

To set yourself up for success in BPO, gain true scalability, smooth operations and ultimately your overall success – is to make sure that you oversee the initial phase of the outsourcing engagement thoroughly. We cannot stress this enough. A common challenge UK companies face with this not being handled correctly is a lack of control, which can compromise your business strategy and damage your reputation.

It’s important to address any challenges or issues promptly and make necessary adjustments, as this essentially sets the route in which your process will impart on, or depart on. Procera’s role as leaders in the South African BPO industry is to set the standards high and the benchmarks even higher. We provide hands-on support during the transition phase. 

Our team closely monitors the operations, proactively addresses any issues that may arise; And makes adjustments accordingly to fine-tune performance and efficiency. Customer satisfaction is a top priority – that means you, and your customers, too. 

Evaluating And Improving Outsourcing Performance

Step 8: Evaluating And Improving Outsourcing Performance

When embarking on a BPO journey, we strongly advise that you regularly evaluate the performance of the outsourced operations against the defined KPIs you set out to achieve at the start. Provide constructive feedback to the outsourcing partner to create continuous improvement. 

This helps in accurately assessing your business for success in BPO. More often than not, other outsourcing solutions tend to fall short in delivering consistent results, which is a major challenge for UK and European business looking for the best business practices and professionalism they require. 

So How Can Procera Solve This For You?

Well, it’s simple. Procera maintains a company culture of continuous improvement for over 30 years to date. This involves regular performance evaluations, feedback sessions and strategy meetings to provide exceptional services consistently to meet and exceed your expectations.
