Due to aggressive marketing, rapid expansion of product portfolio and new feature releases, a leading healthcare technology solutions provider in the U.S. faced uneven consequences of numerous unanswered queries, high attrition rate, and more. While basic queries were answered post 24-36 hours and increasing tickets made level-2 team answer level-1 queries, ignoring level-2 issues, the prohibitive cost made it unviable to expand in-house support team. This is when Bangalore-based BPO service company, 31West built two teams of nine representatives each where team A covered business hours and team B took charge of after hours & weekends, and level-2 issues were escalated to clients in-house support team. With over 16 years of expertise of handling simple & complex process transition, 31West reduced query turnaround time to four hours and leveled-up customer satisfaction by deploying robust & efficient processes; from migrating support functions to helping build a positive brand image.

Overcoming the Hurdles
31West is the brainchild of Sandeep & Satish Periwal, who together hold over four decades of experience in enterprise application, process automation, solution architecture, technology, customer experience, business Intelligence & finance. The idea of establishing outsourced customer support came real when Periwals realized the need of support for small & medium enterprises in the U.S. & Europe. 31West successfully brought cost-saving, numerous possibilities, fast scaling and a low-cost parallel office to the table at American hours to help customers across domains(real-estate, travel, banking, finance, hospitality, technology & e-Commerce) by building their expertise brick by brick.

“Our mission is to bring high-quality & affordable customer service delivery accessible to every small & medium business in the U.S. & Europe.

Our proven transitioning methodologies & extensive service delivery knowledge leaves nothing to chance for our clients. A powerful combination of in-house and offshore teams working in
tandem to deliver impeccable customer experience is what we deliver to our clients,” asserts Satish.
