Why are companies outsourcing their customer service ?
Protecting a consistent brand experience across every market
A customer in Milan, a customer in Tokyo: the same standard of tone and precision. Outsourcing enforces a single standard that protects brand equity : the same processes, the same training, adapted locally without ever being diluted.
Gaining fast access to premium, multilingual expertise
Training an advisor to embody a luxury universe takes months in-house. A partner like Odity, already built for luxury, brings a ready pool of talent and proven methods, in more than 20 languages.
Gaining the agility to support growth
A launch, a seasonal peak, a new market opening: demand rarely follows a straight line. An outsourced partner absorbs these swings in both directions, so growth never runs into a capacity constraint.
Retaining talent through a partner who recruits, trains, and develops teams
Service quality also depends on team stability. A specialized partner recruits with rigor, develops the skills of its Brand Ambassadors, advisors trained to embody your brand and supports their growth, ensuring continuity of service over time.
Managing quality continuously through data
Without real-time visibility, a customer pain point can go unnoticed until it costs you a customer. Every interaction generates a usable signal: satisfaction, resolution, tone, conversion. Tracked continuously, this signal makes it possible to adjust operations quickly, before a pain point turns into churn.
Turning customer interactions into value creation
A well-designed customer service function doesn’t just respond : it captures purchase intent that’s already present in the conversation, with no additional acquisition budget. This is the principle behind our Order on Behalf approach.
How to outsource your customer service, step by step
Audit
Analysis of existing customer journeys, friction points, and demand peaks, to identify precisely what needs to be preserved, strengthened, or built.
Onboarding & Training
Brand Ambassadors learn the brand before the scripts: history, codes, tone, catalog, customer history for a seamless experience from the very first interaction.
Deployment
Teams take over progressively, channel by channel, market by market, to secure a journey with no disruption.
Continuous Monitoring
Once live, performance indicators are tracked continuously and adjustments happen in real time, driven by data rather than a quarterly review.
Outsourcing: for whom, in what context?
Seasonal peaks
Sales periods, product launches, year-end holidays: volumes spike over short windows. Sizing an in-house team for these peaks means paying for overcapacity the rest of the year. An outsourced partner scales capacity exactly when it’s needed, without having to recruit reinforcements internally.
A support team that needs stabilizing
Maintaining consistent service quality despite staffing changes is a challenge for many companies. Entrusting this activity to a partner whose core business it is ensures a sustainable organization, safeguarding continuity of service and a consistent customer experience.
An investment to refocus on core business
Recruiting and training advisors capable of embodying a premium brand takes significant internal time and resources. Outsourcing this recruitment and training effort frees the organization to focus on its core business — on what truly differentiates the brand.
Service quality to maintain under pressure
Response times stretching, tone becoming standardized, errors multiplying: the first signs of a team reaching its capacity limit. A partner sized to absorb the load maintains the standard, no matter how much volume increases.
Immediate international expertise
Building linguistic and cultural expertise market by market takes years. A partner already established locally provides teams capable of meeting local expectations from day one.
A new market with no ramp-up delay
The quality gap is often decided in the very first interactions of a launch. Starting with a customer service structure that’s already operational and proven avoids this risk from day one.
A harmonized customer experience
As a brand expands globally, maintaining a consistent level of service becomes a strategic priority. A shared framework, adapted locally, ensures the same standard everywhere the customer is.
Why choose Odity to outsource your customer service?
Paris, Milan, New York, Tokyo, Shanghai, Cape Town, Hong Kong, Antananarivo: this footprint isn’t a map : it’s operational capability. Recruiting locally, understanding a market from within, covering a time zone with no break in continuity. International expansion is won through execution, market by market. Odity has already walked this path with more than 150 brands.
Brand Ambassadors, not call agents
Our teams are recruited for their sensitivity to the world of luxury, trained on your brand before they’re trained on your scripts. Every interaction becomes an opportunity to build trust and influence the purchase decision.
A Human + AI approach
We believe neither intelligence replaces the other. Our approach is to intelligently orchestrate roles: AI handles the first response, identifies intent, and ensures data continuity across channels. Humans step in where they create the most value: a hesitation before purchase, a sensitive moment, a decision that shapes the relationship long-term. Each role plays its part, so scale never comes at the cost of quality.
3x the revenue generated through customer service
Since 2019, we’ve supported an Italian luxury brand across its EMEA, US, and APAC markets. By embedding sales assistance directly into the conversation, this brand tripled the revenue generated by its customer service. Customer service stops being a cost center and becomes a strategic asset for the brand.
A culture of continuous monitoring and improvement
Our quality indicators are shared transparently with every brand we support, through regular monitoring sessions. Areas for improvement are translated into concrete actions, and best practices are shared across teams — so progress never depends on a one-off review, but on an ongoing habit of collaboration.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does outsourcing customer service cost?
Cost depends on interaction volume, channels covered, languages required, and the level of expertise needed. There’s no single price point, pricing is built around a tailored model.
What are the risks of outsourcing my customer service?
Rigorous upfront scoping, in-depth training on your brand universe, and continuous quality monitoring secure every stage of deployment, for a smooth and controlled transition.
Can I outsource only part of my customer service?
Yes. A single channel, a single market, temporary support during a seasonal peak: outsourcing can be partial and scalable, before expanding the scope once trust is established.
What’s the difference from a traditional call center?
A traditional call center handles tickets, with volume and speed as the objective. A Brand Ambassador represents a brand: they know its universe, its tone, its customers, and turn every interaction into an opportunity to strengthen the relationship.
How do you guarantee service quality?
Through continuous monitoring: indicators tracked in real time, fast adjustments whenever a signal shifts, and ongoing team training to maintain the standard over time.
