Outsource Operations.
Focus on Growth.

Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) is the practice of contracting specific business operations or responsibilities to a third-party service provider. Companies outsource non-core functions such as customer support, data entry, payroll, and IT helpdesk to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and free internal resources for strategic work. BPO providers bring dedicated infrastructure, trained staff, and proven processes that are often faster to deploy than building in-house.

BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) covers rule-based, process-driven tasks like customer support, data entry, and order processing. KPO (Knowledge Process Outsourcing) involves higher-skill, judgment-intensive work such as legal research, financial analysis, medical transcription, and market research. BPO focuses on operational efficiency; KPO focuses on intellectual expertise. Unicrats offers both, with BPO services for operational functions and KPO-adjacent services for research, analytics, and technical content.

Unicrats provides a full range of BPO services including inbound and outbound customer support, live chat support, email support, technical helpdesk (L1/L2), data entry and digitization, back-office operations (order processing, billing, AR/AP), virtual assistant services, and e-commerce operations support. All services are delivered from our Mumbai facility with 24/7 coverage across US, UK, UAE, and Australian time zones.

Customer support outsourcing means contracting your inbound customer service operations — phone, email, live chat, and social media — to a specialist BPO provider. The outsourced team handles customer inquiries, complaints, returns, order status, and escalations on your behalf, representing your brand. Outsourcing customer support reduces labor costs by 50–70%, provides 24/7 coverage, and scales quickly during peak seasons without the overhead of hiring and managing an in-house team.

Technical support outsourcing involves contracting your L1 and L2 IT or product helpdesk to a BPO team. Outsourced technical support agents handle troubleshooting, software issues, password resets, configuration help, and escalations for SaaS products, hardware, or consumer electronics. Unicrats technical support teams are trained on your specific product or system and follow your documented resolution playbooks to maintain consistent quality and fast resolution times.

Back-office outsourcing refers to delegating internal administrative functions — such as order processing, invoice management, accounts payable and receivable, HR administration, payroll processing, and compliance reporting — to a BPO provider. These functions are essential but do not directly interact with customers. Outsourcing them reduces overhead costs, eliminates staffing risks, and ensures consistency through structured workflows and quality controls.

Data entry outsourcing means contracting high-volume, accuracy-critical data processing tasks to a specialist team. This includes digitizing paper documents, updating databases, processing forms, managing product catalogs, and extracting structured data from unstructured sources. Unicrats data entry teams achieve 99.9% accuracy using dual-entry verification and QA processes, processing millions of records per month with fast turnaround times.

Onshore BPO means outsourcing to a provider in the same country — high quality but high cost. Nearshore BPO means outsourcing to a nearby country in a similar time zone, balancing cost and proximity. Offshore BPO means outsourcing to a distant country with significantly lower labor costs, such as India, the Philippines, or Eastern Europe. Unicrats is an offshore BPO provider from India offering 50–70% cost savings compared to onshore alternatives while maintaining high service quality.

India is the world's leading BPO destination for several reasons. It has 1.5 million English-speaking graduates entering the workforce each year, a strong culture of service and professional work ethic, favorable time zones that overlap with US, UK, and UAE business hours, and labor costs 60–70% lower than Western markets. India's BPO industry has been operating at global standards for over 25 years, with established quality frameworks, robust infrastructure, and deep talent pools across technical, customer service, and knowledge functions.

BPO pricing in India typically ranges from $8–$18 per agent-hour depending on the complexity of the service. For customer support, a dedicated agent seat costs approximately $1,200–$2,500 per month all-inclusive. Compare that to $4,000–$8,000 per month for an equivalent in-house role in the USA or UK. Unicrats offers per-seat monthly pricing, per-hour pricing for variable workloads, and per-transaction pricing for data entry. We build a custom commercial proposal based on your specific volumes and service requirements.

CSAT (Customer Satisfaction Score) measures how satisfied customers are after a support interaction, typically on a scale of 1–5 or 1–10. It is calculated by dividing the number of satisfied responses by total responses, expressed as a percentage. Industry benchmarks vary, but a CSAT score above 85% is considered good, and above 90% is excellent. Unicrats BPO teams consistently deliver 95%+ CSAT across client accounts through agent training, QA monitoring, and continuous coaching.

First-Call Resolution (FCR) measures the percentage of customer issues resolved in the first interaction, without requiring follow-up calls or escalations. High FCR means customers get their problem solved quickly, which directly improves satisfaction and reduces handle time. FCR above 70–75% is considered strong in the BPO industry. Unicrats tracks FCR across all accounts and uses it as a primary quality metric, targeting 75–85% FCR through knowledge base management and agent coaching.

Standard BPO SLAs include: phone answer time under 30 seconds for 80% of calls, email response within 4–8 business hours, live chat response within 30 seconds, and ticket resolution within 24–48 hours depending on priority. Quality SLAs typically specify minimum CSAT scores (e.g., 85%+), FCR targets, and agent availability. Unicrats signs custom SLA agreements with every client, with financial penalties for missed targets and monthly performance reviews.

Unicrats maintains quality through multiple layers: QA analysts listen to call recordings and review chats daily; CSAT surveys go to customers after every interaction; monthly performance scorecards track FCR, AHT, and error rates; regular coaching sessions address knowledge gaps; and client-specific knowledge bases are updated continuously. We share performance dashboards with clients in real time so there are no surprises — you always know how your team is performing.

Unicrats agents are experienced with all major customer support platforms including Zendesk, Freshdesk, Salesforce Service Cloud, Zoho Desk, Intercom, HubSpot, Gorgias, and Talkdesk. For communication, we use your preferred channels — phone (VoIP), email, live chat, WhatsApp Business, and social media. We can work within your existing tool stack or recommend an optimized toolset if you are starting fresh. Agents also use internal knowledge management systems, QA tools, and real-time dashboards.

Data security is built into every layer of our BPO operations. Our Mumbai facility prohibits personal mobile phones and USB drives on the production floor. All systems are monitored with endpoint security and screen recording. We follow ISO 27001-aligned information security management practices. Data is transmitted over encrypted channels, and access is role-based with audit trails. For healthcare clients we follow HIPAA guidelines, for financial services we follow PCI-DSS requirements, and for EU data we follow GDPR protocols.

An NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) is a legal contract that prevents one or both parties from sharing confidential information with third parties. Yes, Unicrats signs comprehensive NDAs with every client before any project discussion begins. All agents working on your account also sign individual confidentiality agreements as part of their employment contracts. This protects your customer data, business processes, intellectual property, and any proprietary information shared during the engagement.

Yes. Unicrats operates 24/7 across all major time zones. We routinely staff agents for US Eastern (EST), US Pacific (PST), UK (GMT/BST), UAE (GST), and Australian (AEST/AEDT) business hours. For clients requiring 24/7 coverage, we deploy rotating shifts. Time zone coverage is defined during the SLA agreement, and we staff accordingly. There is no premium for night shifts — it is standard operating practice for our Mumbai teams.

BPO onboarding typically takes 2–6 weeks depending on complexity. For standard customer support or data entry projects with clear SOPs, a team of 5–10 agents can be operational within 2–3 weeks. Complex technical support or multi-channel operations with custom workflows take 4–6 weeks to allow for agent recruitment, product training, knowledge base development, tool integration, and a supervised pilot phase. We provide a detailed onboarding timeline during the scoping call.

Unicrats accepts engagements starting from 2 dedicated agents, making BPO accessible to small businesses and startups. Most clients start with a pilot team of 3–5 agents to validate quality and processes before scaling. There is no requirement to commit to a large team upfront — you can start small and grow as volumes increase. Minimum engagement term is typically 3 months to allow sufficient time for training and performance stabilization.

Agent training starts with a structured knowledge transfer session where your team shares product documentation, FAQs, escalation processes, and brand voice guidelines. Our training team converts this into agent playbooks and knowledge base articles. Agents complete a certification assessment before going live. During the first two weeks of operations, a QA supervisor reviews every interaction. Ongoing training sessions are scheduled monthly or whenever you release product updates or change processes.

English is the primary delivery language across all Unicrats BPO operations, and our agents are trained for accent-neutral, professional communication. We also have agents fluent in Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Arabic, and Spanish for multilingual support requirements. For less common language requirements, we can recruit specifically for language proficiency during the hiring phase. Most global clients in US, UK, UAE, and Australia are fully served by our English-speaking teams.

Omnichannel customer support means providing consistent, connected support across all channels — phone, email, live chat, social media, WhatsApp, and SMS — from a unified platform so agents have full context of each customer's history regardless of which channel they used. Unlike multichannel support (where channels are siloed), omnichannel support ensures customers do not have to repeat themselves. Unicrats provides omnichannel BPO support using platforms like Zendesk and Freshdesk that unify all channels into a single agent workspace.

Yes — and this is one of the biggest advantages of BPO outsourcing. Unicrats can add 10–50 agents within 1–2 weeks during peak demand periods such as holiday sales, product launches, or promotional campaigns. After peak season, team size scales back down with no termination costs, notice periods, or severance pay. This elasticity means you pay only for the capacity you need, eliminating the cost of maintaining a large permanent team for occasional peak demand.

Unicrats combines owned infrastructure, rigorous quality management, and transparent pricing that most BPO providers cannot match. Our Mumbai facility is owned and operated — no subcontracting. Every account has a dedicated account manager and QA supervisor. Clients get real-time performance dashboards, monthly business reviews, and flexible pricing models. We have delivered 95%+ CSAT across 100+ client accounts in e-commerce, SaaS, healthcare, and finance. We are not the cheapest option — we are the best value option for businesses that cannot afford poor customer service.
