What is a bureau contact centre model?
A bureau contact centre model uses a shared pool of trained agents who support multiple clients with aligned service requirements. This allows businesses to benefit from cost efficiency and flexible scaling while maintaining structured service delivery and governance.
How does bureau pricing work?
Bureau services are typically priced per minute or per interaction, meaning you only pay for the time our operators are actively handling your calls. This makes the model highly cost-effective for predictable or moderate volumes.
Is a bureau model suitable for growing businesses?
Yes. The bureau model provides scalable support without long-term FTE commitments, making it ideal for organisations seeking structured customer service support while retaining flexibility.
Can the bureau model handle peak or seasonal demand?
Yes. Our shared-agent structure allows us to manage peaks, overflow and out-of-hours demand efficiently, ensuring continuity of service without the need for internal staffing adjustments.
How is quality maintained in a shared-agent model?
Quality is maintained through structured SLAs, structured quality monitoring, ISO-certified governance and regular performance reporting. This ensures consistent service standards across all client interactions.
