Crisis Management Solutions in South Africa for Australian Customers

When you need Australian customer service calls answered, quickly, with cost savings!

Of course, crisis management is a service you hopefully never need to use; however, when the proverbial does hit the fan, and you need an emergency call centre set up or a customer support phone number answered, help is available!

There are a number of BPOs or Call Centre Outsourcers in South Africa that provide specialised Crisis Management Call Centre Solutions for Australian clients that can mobilise quickly to your aid.

Being based in NZ, the timezone can be an advantage, and you can also save at least 50% on using local (Australian) solutions. 

What are Crisis Management Call Centre Solutions from South Africa?

In South Africa, Outsourcers or BPOs (Business Process Outsourcers) provide a host of services for Australian clients, including Crisis Management Call Centre Solutions. 

Product recalls, health alerts, system outages/technical support, changes to government policy, media events (positive and negative), and so on all require an immediate solution to handle customer enquiries that your existing contact centre or business may be unable to handle. 

They can mobilise quickly, and there will be no communication/language challenges for your team or your customers, which can lead to delays and further frustrations.

How to Select a South African Outsourcing Provider to Assist with your Crisis Management

If you do find yourself needing urgent phone support services, consider the following when sourcing a South African outsourcing supplier:

  • Previous Experience (especially working with Australian businesses)
  • Scale (depending on your estimate of how many calls may need answering)
  • Location and timezones (including proximity to the airport if you need to get members or your team there to support)
  • Ability to mobile quickly (speed matters in these situations)
  • Technology solution (they need to be ready to go with their existing solution)

Of course, if you're not already in the middle of a crisis, it's always better to plan ahead with a Business Continuity Plan (BCP).
