Client Needs

The client had been growing consistently at over 20% year on year, which presented a real challenge in maintaining the high level of service they’d been providing to customers whilst keeping costs lean. Looking to recruit experienced energy specialists independently was proving difficult, and this led to them identifying an outsourcing partner to provide customer service support. They required a flexible model with a provider that really understood their objectives, and that’s where DDC OS was able to come in.
Our UK locations and options for future nearshore and offshore facilities were key, alongside our extensive experience in utilities and ability to quickly recruit and train highquality customer service agents.

“A great outsourcer is one that takes time at the start of the project to understand your objectivesand your needs, and they are seen as an extension of your business, which is exactly what we have with DDC OS.”
