24/7 Claims & Assistance Support: From 5 Agents to 25 FTEs Across 7 Channels
Case Study | English HUB × Global Travel Industry Company
24/7 Claims & Assistance Support – From Startup to Scale.
First-Time Outsourcing to 25 FTEs Across 7 Channels.
THE CHALLENGE
No Outsourcing Experience. Rapid Growth Coming. No Room for Error. A global travel company had always managed customer support internally—small teams handling claims and assistance worldwide with no formal training programs or documented operational practices. With rapid growth on the horizon and high labor costs from using licensed insurance agents for basic support tasks, they needed to make a leap they had never made before: their first BPO partnership.
THE SOLUTION
Start Small. Build Right. Scale with Confidence.
transcosmos designed a phased approach - starting with just 5 agents to prove the model, then scaling steadily to 25 FTEs as operational confidence grew. From day one, we focused on building the infrastructure that didn't yet exist: training programs, documented processes, service level standards, and full multi-channel capability across 7 channels.
- Phased rollout from 5 agents to 25 FTEs—expanding scope at each stage

Furthermore, we have a proven track record of scaling operations to over 100 agents. This growth allowed the client to move from localized internal operations to a scalable BPO framework capable of supporting customers across 7 different communication channels.

A2: The English HUB provides comprehensive round-the-clock coverage, ensuring seamless assistance for a global audience 24/7/365. By centralizing support, we overcome common operational hurdles such as a lack of formal training, undocumented practices, and high labor costs associated with utilizing specialized internal resources for routine support tasks.
Q3: How does transcosmos ensure service quality during the initial transition to BPO?
