Holiday Operations Support | Scale Seamlessly with THIENTU BPO

The holiday season may be the most wonderful time of the year—but for businesses, it's also the most demanding. As shoppers flood online stores, customer support queues overflow with inquiries, and sales teams race to capture every opportunity, even the most prepared organizations can feel the strain. Inventory must move faster, every customer expects instant service, and marketing campaigns run at unprecedented velocity. For mid to large-sized businesses, this period becomes a true test of operational endurance.

That's where we step in as your strategic operations partner. With over 24 years of proven BPO leadership and triple ISO certification for security and quality, THIENTU BPO helps businesses maintain seamless operations during the most critical selling period of the year. Whether you're managing surges in customer inquiries, scaling outbound sales campaigns, executing digital marketing initiatives, or supporting customers across time zones, we provide the scalability and expertise that in-house teams often can't maintain alone during peak demand.

In this article, we'll explore how businesses leverage our customer support services, telesales and telemarketing expertise, digital advertising capabilities, and flexible staff augmentation solutions to transform seasonal chaos into seamless success—backed by the operational reliability that comes from 24 years of supporting enterprises like Samsung, Shopee, and FE Credit through their most demanding periods.

Why the Holiday Season Tests Operational Resilience

In theory, the holiday season offers a golden window for sales growth—but in practice, it's a battleground of volume spikes, unpredictable consumer behavior, and stretched operational systems. Below are the core pressures that make this period a stress test for even well-resourced businesses.

Demand Surges, Unpredictability and Capacity Stress

Record spending and higher volume: According to Salesforce data, online holiday sales in 2024 reached $1.2 trillion globally, with a 4% year-on-year increase in the US portion. Adobe forecasts for 2025 estimate US online holiday spending will climb to $253.4 billion, a 5.3% increase year over year. On its own, that escalation in orders and traffic exerts enormous strain on systems, supply chains, and customer-facing teams.

Mobile and AI traffic intensifies stress: In 2025, mobile is projected to account for 56.1% of online revenue, while 70% of retail site visits will occur via mobile devices. Further, AI-powered traffic—via LLMs, chat agents, and smart recommendation engines—is expected to surge by 515-520% year over year. The consequence? More concurrent interactions, rapid scaling needs, and instant customer expectations across every channel.

Returns and post-sale support explode: One of the hidden burdens is returns. Salesforce reports that returns in 2024 spiked 28% relative to the prior year. That volume of reverse logistics—combined with customer inquiries about exchanges, refunds, and product issues—duplicates the workload for customer support and operations teams.

Because of these compounding surges—front-end orders, mid-cycle customer inquiries, back-end returns processing—the holiday stretch becomes a litmus test of operational robustness.

Risks of Failing to Scale Internally

Operational errors and service breakdowns multiply: As volumes swell, mistakes in order fulfillment, customer communication delays, data entry errors, and response inconsistencies become more likely. When operations teams are overextended, minor slipups amplify into customer dissatisfaction or lost sales opportunities.

Team burnout and staff turnover: Long hours, peak pressure, and staffing gaps lead to fatigue and attrition, particularly when scaling solely from existing in-house teams. That further exacerbates service decline and creates knowledge gaps at critical moments.

Reputation and customer retention damage: In the holiday period, each negative customer interaction has magnified impact. Slow responses, missed opportunities, or confusing return processes can drive negative reviews, order cancellations, and lost loyalty—damage that lasts far beyond December.

High opportunity cost and lost revenue: When internal bandwidth is maxed out, companies often hesitate to launch additional outbound campaigns, optimize conversion funnels, or extend support hours. That means leaving potential revenue on the table during the busiest quarter of the year.

Why In-House Ramping Is Often Infeasible

Hiring and training lead time: Bringing on seasonal staff isn't instantaneous. Recruiting, background checks, training, and ramp time all consume weeks—time many businesses don't have as the holidays approach. At THIENTU, we eliminate this bottleneck by deploying pre-trained teams in 10-15 days from our 30,000+ candidate database.

Fixed cost burden during off-peak periods: Hiring large staffs just for seasonal bumps leads to underutilization outside peak windows. That inflates cost structure and diminishes ROI on human capital investment.

Limited domain specialization and depth: In-house teams are typically built for baseline operations. During holiday peaks, nuanced tasks—like multilingual customer support, high-volume outbound calling, digital campaign optimization, or exception handling in returns processing—demand flexible, specialist skills that many internal teams lack.

Scalability constraints in technology and infrastructure: Even if headcount is added, internal systems may not scale quickly or reliably under sudden load. We solve this with THIENTU Cloud, our omnichannel platform that seamlessly handles volume surges while maintaining performance and data integrity.

The holiday season is more than just a busy time—it's a forced stress test of every operational dimension: customer support capacity, sales execution, digital marketing agility, and workforce flexibility. Without a scalable, experienced partner, many businesses risk falling behind or faltering under pressure.

The THIENTU Advantage: Scalability Without Overstretching

When holiday demand skyrockets, the difference between a thriving business and a struggling one often comes down to scalability. We give companies the agility to handle sudden surges without overstretching their in-house teams or compromising quality. With 24 years of BPO experience supporting enterprises through their most demanding periods, we transform operational chaos into well-orchestrated execution—allowing businesses to deliver on time, maintain consistency, and protect profitability when it matters most.

On-Demand Capacity and Flexibility

One of our biggest strengths is built-in flexibility. Instead of scrambling to hire, train, and manage seasonal staff, businesses can quickly scale operations through our pre-trained workforce. This on-demand scalability allows companies to meet seasonal peaks—whether it's a 200% increase in customer inquiries, a major outbound sales campaign, or unexpected spikes in digital advertising support needs—without permanent overhead.

A 2024 Deloitte Global Outsourcing Survey found that 65% of executives turn to outsourcing for operational flexibility, while 57% cite cost efficiency as a top benefit. With our operations based in Ho Chi Minh City and 24/7 capability across different time zones, we ensure round-the-clock productivity—keeping business operations running smoothly even as order volumes and workloads fluctuate.

Our typical deployment timeline of 10-15 days—or 3-5 days for urgent requirements—means you can prepare for holiday surges weeks before competitors who rely solely on internal hiring cycles.

Access to Pre-Trained, Specialized Talent

We bring deep expertise and ready-to-deploy teams across essential business functions. From customer support and telesales to digital advertising execution and business intelligence analysis, our professionals already understand the nuances of seasonal workflows.

For example, our customer support teams trained in e-commerce systems can manage surges in holiday inquiries across chat, email, and phone channels—handling everything from order status questions to returns processing. Our telesales professionals with 20+ years of collective campaign experience can execute high-volume outbound calling for appointment setting, lead qualification, or promotional campaigns. This eliminates ramp-up time, reduces training costs, and ensures that every task is handled efficiently by skilled professionals.

According to Statista, the global business process outsourcing market is projected to reach $0.56 trillion in 2025, highlighting how more businesses are leveraging external expertise to scale sustainably and stay competitive during demanding seasons.

Cost Efficiency and Risk Mitigation

Our services don't just save time—they protect your bottom line. We deliver 30-70% cost savings compared to US or Western European hiring, with transparent pricing and no hidden fees. Instead of hiring full-time employees who may be underutilized once the holidays end, our variable cost structure means you pay only for the capacity you need, when you need it.

We also spread operational risk. If internal systems face downtime or staffing shortages, our teams can fill gaps quickly, ensuring continuity across functions like customer engagement, sales support, and campaign execution. In fact, a McKinsey report notes that companies leveraging outsourcing and automation can achieve up to 30% improvement in operational efficiency, helping them navigate seasonal volatility with confidence.

Our triple ISO certification—ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for information security, ISO 27701:2019 for privacy management, and ISO 9001:2015 for quality management—provides additional risk mitigation by ensuring that your data, processes, and customer interactions meet the strictest international standards.

Sustaining Quality Under Pressure

During peak periods, maintaining brand consistency and customer satisfaction is critical—and we enable this at scale. By following standardized workflows, using shared communication tools, and implementing real-time performance tracking through THIENTU Cloud, we help preserve quality even as workloads multiply.

From ensuring every customer interaction reflects your brand voice to handling each support ticket with empathy and accuracy, we add structure to scale. Our recognition as a Top Global Performer in Call/Chat NPS for Customer Contact Center by Samsung validates our ability to maintain exceptional service quality under the most demanding conditions.

This allows your in-house teams to focus on strategy, growth, and innovation—while our specialists take care of the execution that keeps the holiday season running smoothly.

Customer Support Services: Managing High-Volume Holiday Engagement

The holiday season may bring joy to customers—but it also brings an avalanche of inquiries, orders, and support tickets for businesses. From tracking deliveries and processing returns to answering product questions and resolving issues, customer service teams often find themselves under immense pressure to keep up. We specialize in ensuring that every customer receives fast, helpful, and empathetic service—no matter how busy operations become.

Multi-Channel Support That Scales

During peak holiday periods, customers reach out across every possible touchpoint—email, live chat, social media, and phone. Our customer support teams are equipped to manage these multi-channel interactions efficiently, ensuring that no message goes unanswered and every inquiry receives appropriate attention.

With 24/7 coverage capability and our operations based in Vietnam's GMT+7 time zone, we help businesses maintain real-time responsiveness across global markets. Whether it's resolving order status inquiries during US evening hours or addressing delivery concerns over European weekends, our support ensures continuous customer engagement throughout the entire shopping season.

Our THIENTU Cloud platform integrates seamlessly with major CRM and helpdesk systems like Salesforce, Zendesk, and HubSpot, providing unified visibility across all customer interactions and enabling consistent service quality regardless of channel.

Proactive Communication and Problem Prevention

Holiday success isn't just about responding quickly—it's about anticipating customer needs before issues arise. We help businesses implement proactive communication strategies, such as sending shipping updates, product availability alerts, or delivery delay notifications that keep customers informed and confident.

By providing consistent and transparent updates, customers stay engaged and reassured throughout their purchase journey. This proactive approach reduces overall support volume, minimizes frustration, and strengthens brand trust—turning potential problems into opportunities for customer loyalty.

Managing Returns, Exchanges and Post-Holiday Support

Once the gifts are opened, a new wave of customer interactions begins: returns, exchanges, and post-holiday inquiries. Our teams streamline these processes, handling return requests, refund confirmations, and replacement orders with speed and accuracy.

This level of support keeps customers satisfied long after the holiday rush ends. By efficiently managing reverse logistics communication and post-purchase support, we help maintain the positive brand experience that turns one-time buyers into repeat customers. Our experience supporting enterprises like Samsung and Shopee through high-volume periods means we understand the operational discipline required to maintain consistency during extended peak seasons.

Maintaining Brand Voice and Quality Across Channels

Even during high volume, maintaining a consistent tone and brand experience is essential. We train our teams to match each client's voice, ensuring customers feel the same level of care and professionalism they would expect from an in-house representative.

Through knowledge bases, brand playbooks, and regular quality assessments, our teams uphold communication standards that reflect your company's values. Every response—from a social comment to a customer email—reinforces your brand's credibility and reliability. Our triple ISO certification provides the quality framework that ensures this consistency is maintained systematically, not just aspirationally.

Using Data to Improve Engagement

We don't just handle customer interactions—we analyze them. By tracking metrics like response time, resolution rate, first-contact resolution, and customer sentiment through our business intelligence capabilities, we provide valuable insights into customer behavior and recurring issues.

These analytics empower businesses to refine processes, improve product offerings, and anticipate future support needs before the next seasonal rush. Our reporting dashboards give you real-time visibility into performance trends, enabling data-driven decisions that continuously improve customer experience.

Telesales and Digital Marketing: Capturing Every Holiday Opportunity

The holidays aren't just about managing incoming inquiries—they're about proactively capturing sales opportunities through outbound engagement and strategic digital campaigns. With over 20 years of specialized experience in high-volume telesales and telemarketing campaigns, we help businesses maximize revenue during the most competitive selling period of the year.

High-Volume Outbound Calling Campaigns

Holiday promotions and limited-time offers create urgency—but only if customers know about them. Our telesales teams execute high-volume outbound calling campaigns designed to drive awareness, qualify leads, set appointments, and close sales during peak selling windows.

Whether you're promoting Black Friday deals, end-of-year clearance events, or exclusive holiday offers, our pre-trained calling teams can deploy rapidly to reach your target audience. We handle everything from script development and list management to call tracking and conversion reporting, ensuring every campaign is optimized for maximum ROI.

Our 20+ years of telesales experience means we understand the nuances of holiday calling—from optimal contact times to objection handling techniques that convert hesitant prospects during high-pressure decision periods.

Lead Qualification and Database Enrichment

The holiday season generates massive lead volumes—but not all leads are equal. We provide lead qualification services that separate high-intent prospects from general inquiries, allowing your sales teams to focus their efforts where they'll generate the most revenue.

Our database enrichment capabilities also ensure your CRM data remains accurate and actionable during rapid-growth periods. We update contact information, verify lead details, and segment audiences based on buying signals—creating the foundation for both immediate holiday campaigns and long-term customer relationships.

Digital Advertising Campaign Support

Holiday digital advertising requires constant monitoring, optimization, and rapid response to performance data. Our digital advertising team provides campaign management support across search, social, and display channels—ensuring your holiday promotions reach the right audiences at the right moments.

We handle campaign setup, ad copywriting, performance monitoring, and optimization adjustments that keep your advertising spend efficient and effective. Whether you're running flash sales, countdown promotions, or competitive takeover campaigns, our team ensures your digital presence remains strong throughout the entire holiday period.

Business Intelligence and Analytics

Understanding what's working—and what isn't—is critical during fast-moving holiday campaigns. Our business intelligence services provide the analytics and reporting infrastructure to track campaign performance, customer behavior, and revenue attribution in real time.

We create custom dashboards that monitor key metrics like conversion rates, customer acquisition costs, average order values, and channel performance. These insights enable rapid pivots when campaigns underperform and quick scaling when opportunities emerge—ensuring you maximize returns on every holiday marketing dollar.

Staff Augmentation: Flexible Capacity for Seasonal Peaks

Not every business needs full-service BPO during the holidays—some simply need additional capacity to supplement existing teams. That's where our staff augmentation services provide the perfect solution: skilled professionals who integrate directly with your operations while we handle recruitment, infrastructure, and administrative overhead.

Rapid Team Scaling Without Permanent Headcount

Staff augmentation allows you to scale specific functions up or down based on real-time demand. Need 20 additional customer service agents for December? We can deploy them in 10-15 days. Require extra telesales support for a promotional campaign? We source qualified candidates in 7-14 working days from our 30,000+ candidate database.

This flexibility eliminates the fixed costs and long-term commitments of traditional hiring while giving you the capacity to meet peak demand without service degradation.

Specialized Skills for Holiday Operations

Holiday operations often require specialized capabilities that in-house teams may not possess. Our staff augmentation model gives you access to professionals with specific expertise—whether that's e-commerce platform knowledge, CRM system proficiency, multilingual support capabilities, or industry-specific technical skills.

These specialists integrate with your existing workflows, tools, and management structures while we handle all employment compliance, payroll, and HR administration through our Employer of Record (EOR) Vietnam service if needed.

Seamless Integration with Existing Teams

Unlike traditional outsourcing where teams work independently, staff augmentation means our professionals operate as extensions of your organization. They use your systems, follow your processes, and report through your management structure—providing the control and visibility you need while we provide the talent and infrastructure support.

Our THIENTU Cloud platform facilitates this integration with collaboration tools, performance tracking, and communication systems that keep augmented and in-house teams aligned regardless of physical location.

Integration and Governance: Making Outsourcing Seamless

BPO partnerships can transform holiday operations—but only when seamlessly integrated into your existing workflows. Smooth collaboration between in-house and external teams is what turns outsourcing from a short-term fix into a long-term strategic advantage. We've spent 24 years perfecting integration approaches that ensure everyone operates as one cohesive unit.

System and Tool Alignment

To achieve true operational harmony, we integrate directly into your business ecosystem. This includes connecting to your core platforms—such as ERP, CRM, inventory management, helpdesk, and marketing automation tools—so both internal and outsourced teams work from the same real-time data.

With shared visibility, everyone operates from the same source of truth. Orders, tickets, leads, and analytics flow seamlessly between systems, reducing errors and eliminating silos. Our team is experienced with platforms like Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, Shopify, and other enterprise systems, ensuring minimal friction during high-volume periods when speed and accuracy matter most.

Our THIENTU Cloud platform also provides additional integration capabilities, acting as a unified layer that connects disparate systems and provides consolidated reporting across all operational functions.

Process Mapping and Documentation

Before any project begins, clear process mapping is essential. We work with you to outline workflows, responsibilities, escalation paths, and quality standards—ensuring both internal and external teams know exactly how each task is handled. This documentation becomes the foundation for consistency, especially during the holiday rush when quick decisions and handoffs are frequent.

Creating standard operating procedures and communication templates minimizes confusion. When everyone follows the same playbook, operations stay predictable, efficient, and scalable—regardless of how many moving parts are involved.

Onboarding, Training and Knowledge Transfer

A well-structured onboarding program ensures our teams fully understand your brand, products, and customer expectations. We start training weeks before the holiday season begins, allowing our professionals to learn your systems, review case scenarios, and practice brand voice consistency.

Regular training refreshers and updates keep our teams aligned with any changes in processes, promotions, or product lines. This proactive approach prevents last-minute miscommunication and ensures that every team member—whether in-house or outsourced—works toward the same goals.

Our triple ISO certification ensures these training and quality assurance processes follow documented, auditable standards that maintain consistency across all client engagements.

Governance, Reporting and Continuous Improvement

Strong governance keeps partnerships on track. We establish clear performance indicators—such as response time, resolution rate, conversion metrics, or quality scores—creating accountability and transparency from day one.

Weekly or daily check-ins between team leads help identify challenges early, while shared dashboards provide real-time progress visibility. Governance isn't about control—it's about collaboration and visibility. Our best partnerships thrive on open feedback loops, where performance insights fuel continuous improvement and long-term trust.

As a Top Global Performer recognized by Samsung for customer contact excellence, we bring enterprise-grade governance practices that have been proven at scale with the world's most demanding clients.

Best Practices to Maximize Holiday BPO Effectiveness

BPO partnerships can be game-changers during the holiday season—but only when executed with strategy and foresight. The key to success lies in preparation, communication, and continuous alignment between in-house and outsourced teams. By following these best practices developed over our 24 years of operational experience, businesses can ensure their BPO partnerships deliver peak performance throughout the busiest time of year.

1. Start Early: Prepare Before the Rush

The most effective BPO strategies begin months before the holiday season hits. Early planning allows time to onboard, train, and integrate external teams into your existing workflows. It also provides space for stress-testing systems, fine-tuning communication channels, and setting performance expectations.

Starting early ensures our teams understand your brand voice, customer policies, and seasonal promotions—so when order volumes spike, we're already operating at full capacity. With our typical 10-15 day deployment timeline, businesses that engage us in September or October enter November fully prepared rather than scrambling to catch up.

Preparation transforms outsourcing from a reactive measure into a proactive advantage.

2. Maintain Clear and Continuous Communication

Strong communication is the backbone of successful partnerships. We establish daily or weekly check-ins, create shared dashboards through THIENTU Cloud, and use project management tools to keep everyone aligned.

Transparency helps prevent misunderstandings during high-pressure periods, ensuring both in-house and outsourced teams can make quick, informed decisions. Real-time updates on metrics like inquiry volume, ticket queues, campaign performance, or call conversion rates allow for faster responses when unexpected challenges arise.

3. Build Redundancy and Backup Capacity

Even the best systems can face surprises—unexpected traffic spikes, technical glitches, or staff absences. That's why redundancy planning is crucial. We maintain backup capacity and contingency workflows that can be activated when demand exceeds forecasts.

Having well-prepared reserve teams or overflow support ensures uninterrupted service, minimizing downtime and customer frustration during critical moments. Our 30,000+ candidate database provides the depth needed to deploy additional resources rapidly when situations demand it.

4. Align on KPIs and Quality Standards

Setting measurable goals upfront keeps performance on track. We work with you to define clear KPIs such as average response times, first-contact resolution rates, customer satisfaction scores, call conversion rates, or campaign ROI. We ensure these benchmarks align with your business objectives and review them regularly throughout the engagement.

Establishing detailed quality guidelines—especially around brand voice, customer interaction tone, or campaign messaging—ensures consistency across all deliverables. This alignment turns our services into an extension of your brand rather than a detached third-party function.

Our ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification provides the systematic framework that ensures these standards are maintained consistently, not just aspirationally.

5. Embrace Collaboration, Not Control

The most successful partnerships are built on collaboration and mutual trust. We position ourselves as your strategic ally, not just a service vendor. We encourage feedback, share data insights, and actively participate in planning discussions.

When external teams feel valued and included, they become more invested in your success. This sense of shared purpose drives higher motivation, accountability, and innovation—exactly what's needed during high-stakes holiday operations.

6. Continuously Optimize and Review

After each holiday season, we conduct post-engagement reviews to identify what worked and what didn't. We collect insights from both internal and outsourced teams to refine workflows and performance standards for future engagements.

Continuous improvement ensures our operational model evolves with your business—becoming faster, more efficient, and more adaptive with every season. Many of our longest client relationships—including our work with Samsung and Shopee—are built on this foundation of ongoing optimization and mutual growth.

Risks, Challenges and How We Address Them

BPO partnerships can be powerful solutions for scaling operations during the holiday season, but they're not without potential challenges. When managed poorly, outsourcing can lead to communication breakdowns, inconsistent quality, and operational disruptions. Recognizing these risks early—and putting safeguards in place—ensures partnerships stay efficient, secure, and aligned with business goals.

Here's how we address the most common BPO challenges through our operational framework developed over 24 years of enterprise partnerships.

1. Misalignment in Brand Voice or Quality

One of the most common risks in outsourcing is a disconnect between the outsourcing team's output and your brand's identity. This misalignment can show up in customer interactions, campaign messaging, or service tone—ultimately affecting brand perception.

How we address this: We establish detailed brand guidelines during onboarding and conduct regular training sessions for all client-facing teams. We share examples of approved responses, tone of voice standards, and communication frameworks. Our quality assurance teams conduct periodic reviews and provide constructive feedback to keep all deliverables consistent with your brand standards. Our ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification ensures these processes follow documented, auditable procedures.

2. Communication Gaps and Unclear Processes

Time zone differences, unclear reporting lines, or inconsistent updates can create confusion and slow down decision-making. Without a strong communication framework, small issues can escalate into major disruptions during peak operations.

How we address this: We set up clear communication protocols from day one, including daily check-ins or status updates. Our THIENTU Cloud platform provides real-time visibility into operations, and we use collaboration tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams, or your preferred systems for transparency and accountability. We define escalation paths so problems are resolved quickly before they affect performance or timelines.

3. Overreliance Without Internal Oversight

BPO should enhance your operations—not replace internal control. Overdependence on third-party partners without proper oversight can lead to blind spots in quality assurance, data handling, or customer experience.

How we address this: We maintain a balanced approach between in-house oversight and outsourced execution. We work with designated internal project owners who monitor performance, review deliverables, and ensure compliance with company policies. Our reporting dashboards provide full transparency, and we actively encourage client involvement in governance and continuous improvement discussions.

4. Data Security and Compliance Risks

With outsourcing often comes the exchange of sensitive business and customer information. Without proper security measures, companies risk data breaches or non-compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR.

How we address this: Our triple ISO certification provides comprehensive protection. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 ensures information security management, ISO 27701:2019 governs privacy information management, and our documented security protocols cover access controls, encryption, and incident response. We implement NDAs, role-based access systems, and regular security audits to ensure compliance with all legal and corporate standards. Our security framework has been validated by enterprises like Samsung who trust us with their most sensitive customer data.

5. Burnout and Turnover Among Outsourced Teams

Holiday peaks can push teams to their limits, leading to fatigue and decreased performance. High turnover during critical periods can disrupt workflows and reduce service consistency.

How we address this: We prioritize employee well-being through fair workload distribution, appropriate staffing levels, and rotation schedules that prevent burnout. We plan capacity conservatively to ensure our teams aren't stretched beyond sustainable levels. Our 24-year operational history includes developing workforce management practices that maintain both performance and team morale during extended peak periods.

6. Lack of Continuous Feedback and Improvement

Without structured feedback loops, issues can go unnoticed and processes stagnate. This results in recurring inefficiencies that could have been corrected with better collaboration.

How we address this: We establish continuous improvement meetings and post-season reviews as standard practice. We encourage open dialogue where both sides can share insights, challenges, and ideas for better efficiency. Our partnerships are designed to evolve—not remain static. Our recognition as a Top Global Performer by Samsung reflects our commitment to operational excellence through continuous refinement based on client feedback and performance data.

How do you handle data security for customer information during holidays?

We hold ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for information security management and ISO 27701:2019 for privacy information management.

Do you only offer customer support or other holiday services?

We provide comprehensive BPO services beyond customer support. Our telesales and telemarketing services (20+ years of campaign experience) support holiday sales initiatives through outbound calling, lead qualification, and appointment setting.

What's the best time to start planning for holiday BPO support?

We recommend engaging 6-8 weeks before your peak season begins—typically September or early October for November-December holidays. This timeline allows for proper onboarding, training, system integration, and workflow testing before volumes surge. However, we can deploy urgent support in as little as 3-5 days for businesses facing immediate capacity challenges. Earlier planning always produces better results, but we're structured to respond rapidly when situations demand it.
