Background

The global telecommunications company required an outsourced call center solution to effectively manage customer demands in its projects in Turkey, both inbound and outbound. To provide 24/7 service, support sales processes, and ensure customer communication aligned with quality standards, a strategic partnership was established with Pusula Customer Experience (CX).
