In today’s competitive landscape, delivering exceptional customer service is essential, yet many companies lack the resources to manage it effectively across multiple communication channels. Bureau contact centre services offer a strategic solution by outsourcing customer interactions to a contact centre that operates using a shared resource model.
What is Bureau Call Handling?
Bureau call handling is a model used in the contact centre industry where a pool of trained agents handles calls on behalf of multiple client companies. It is essentially a shared service. Rather than assigning agents to a single business, the bureau model routes incoming calls and interactions to the next available trained agent, regardless of which client the interaction is for.
This approach enables professional support across business call answering, email management, web messaging, social media and more, serving multiple businesses at once. It is particularly beneficial for small and medium-sized enterprises, providing access to round-the-clock customer service without the high costs of maintaining an in-house team or employing dedicated outsourced agents.
With flexible, consumption based pricing, businesses only pay for the volume of contacts handled, making bureau call handling both cost effective and scalable. It allows organisations to focus on their core operations while ensuring customers receive prompt, professional support across all channels.
5 Key Benefits of Outsourced Bureau Call Handling

- Scalability and Flexibility: Easily scale services up or down to manage seasonal peaks or fluctuating demand without investing in additional staff or technology.
