Increase your company’s flexibility, by turning to outsourced staff members for help with your standard business processes.
If you’re in need of more staff to help you with your business processes, business process outsourcing (BPO) may be the right choice.
What Is A Business Process?
Innately, you’re probably already familiar with the concept of a business process – but you may never have had it defined for you, so let’s go over the definition of this term.
Every business can be broken down into a collection of business processes of varying complexities. Essentially, a business process is any collection of related activities, performed by both people and equipment, that produces a product or service, or serves a business goal for your company.
Customer service is a business process, for example.
In the customer service business process, a customer service representative speaks with customers, communicates with them about their issue, and attempts to find a resolution – and the result of these actions serves a business goal (enhancing customer satisfaction and retention) for your company.
Online Sales would be another example of a business process. For example, as a new order is submitted, several independent processes must occur:
- Payment processing must be completed.
- Fulfillment and shipping documents and orders must be created.
- Products must be pulled from warehouse shelves and packed for shipping.
- Inventory must be updated and new inventory ordered.
- Shipping labels must be created and adhered.
- Packages must be presented to shipper.
By partnering with a business process outsourcing company you can get help with processes like supply chain management, data processing, workflow automation, shipping, returns & refunds processing, employee communications and so much more, all while enhancing the efficiency of your business and without hiring additional staff.
