Plugg Tech Success Stories: Built a BPO Call Center

Case Study

Built a Call Center team in Nicaragua

Client Profile

A Midwest FinTech company focused on the payments sector was having difficulty retaining a call center in Missouri. The attrition was high, engagement was low, and the labor costs were only increasing. The company was seeking to scale, but couldn’t take on more clients until it had a reliable call center. 

Plugg came in and provided deep advice on how to built a call center environment from Managua, Nicaragua. Plugg sourced all the appropriate hardware, setup the environment, tested to ensure it met all the regulations. Then Plugg hired a team of 6 experienced call center professionals. The team has been fully engaged all along and both the company and its clients are very happy. This was all done at a monthly cost savings of about 50% as well.
