A solution for outsourced contact centers
With CONTACT.WORK, an outsourced contact center earns more on every project. You don't pay for agent seats, so new hires don't eat into your margin. You launch each new client on the platform you already run, without buying a separate system, and their data, calls, and reports are kept apart from everyone else's. Clients see results online, and an AI consultant takes some of the calls – so you don't have to hire more agents.

Projects
A new client without a new system
For each client, we set up a separate project in the platform – numbers, queues, call form, knowledge base, and reports. There's no separate system to install, so the project goes live faster and you can take on more clients. Your supervisor sets up future projects in the web interface, without developers. Data stays separate: staff on one project don't see other projects' calls or numbers.

Growing headcount doesn't eat your margin
The platform is free; you pay only for technical support. Twenty new agents for a big contract add nothing to your system costs: accounts are created before the shift and disabled after the project. An office isn't required either – remote agents only need a browser.

Agents talk instead of listening to ringing
The platform filters out unanswered calls and answering machines and connects agents only to people who pick up. Predictive mode dials ahead, so the time you pay agents for goes to customers instead of waiting. Dialing respects each contact's local time.

Clients see results without you compiling reports
Each client gets a portal with their own numbers – inquiries, speed of answer, missed calls, call outcomes – plus call recordings. You don't build reports by hand, and the client sees what they're paying for. If a client prefers email, the report goes out on a schedule – daily, weekly, or monthly.

Quality scores across all calls
Speech analytics scores every call on the project: each voice is recorded on its own track, and the client sees scores across all conversations, not a sample. The supervisor coaches agents in whisper mode, and with tips from the AI assistant, new hires go live sooner and training costs less.

More inquiries with the same headcount
The AI helps your client's customers by voice and in chat – from the project's materials, at night, on weekends, and during rushes. After every call, the AI assistant writes a short summary into the record or the client's CRM, so the agent moves to the next call faster. You handle more inquiries without hiring and can offer clients an AI consultant as a new service at your own price.

A typical day at an outsourced contact center.
A multi-client center: a bank, a store, and delivery
Calls pile up on the bank's project – they automatically go to available agents from the store project who are trained on the bank. The bank has its own project: numbers, call form, and materials, and agents answer on its behalf; the record shows whose customer is calling. Nobody sits idle, and the bank gets its calls answered on time.
- A project per client
- Agents in multiple queues
- Overflow to neighbors

In the morning, sales calls for a store, a survey for a bank, and reminders for a clinic all start. The campaigns run at the same time, and whoever picks up hears a person, a recorded message, or a voice bot – whatever the project specifies. Outcomes go to each client's CRM, and the campaign summary builds itself.

A client's customer writes that the software won't start. A bot handles the project's routine questions by itself, but an agent passes a case like this to the client's tier 2 team, with the project's full conversation history open. The contracted service level is visible in the report every day, so there's nothing to argue about.

Preparation
What to decide in advance
Q&A
Frequently asked questions
What will agents cost if a new client needs twenty more people?
Nothing beyond your plan: you pay for technical support, not for the number of agents. Accounts take a couple of minutes to create and are disabled when the project ends.
How fast can we launch a new client project?
With nothing to install, your supervisor builds the queues, call form, and routing for the new project without developers. The integration with the client's CRM usually takes longest, and the timeline depends on their system.
Will one client see another client's calls and numbers?
No. Permissions are split by project: both the client and the project's staff see only that project's calls and reports. The access log shows who opened the project's data and recordings, and when.
Whose logo will the client see in the portal?
Yours: your contact center's logo, colors, and fonts, and the portal itself opens on your website. The client sees your brand, not the platform's name.
How do we prove to a client that the contracted service level was met?
The project report shows the share of calls answered within the agreed number of seconds and the number of missed calls for the selected period. The client opens it themselves or gets it by email – daily, weekly, or monthly.
Can an agent work on several projects at once?
Agents can be added to several clients' queues. When a call comes in, the screen shows which project it belongs to and which form to fill out. During a rush on one project, the platform automatically sends its calls to available colleagues from other projects who are trained on it.
How do we track agent hours and KPIs for each project?
Reports show each agent's talk time and statuses by project – that gives you the hours to bill the client. KPIs are there too: call counts, quality scores, and schedule adherence. Use them to calculate bonuses and decide who works on which project.
How do we supervise agents working from home?
Live: the supervisor sees statuses, listens to calls, and coaches with whisper mode. All calls are recorded, and with dual-channel recording, speech analytics reviews them.
Can we sell clients a line staffed by an AI consultant?
You can. It works from a specific project's materials, a voice AI minute costs you $0.06, and you set the price for your client.
What happens to the trained AI when a client leaves?
It belongs to whoever paid for the training hours – including the fine-tuned model, the reference answers, and the knowledge base materials.
Will customers wait in silence during predictive dialing?
Sometimes a person who answers has to wait for an available agent – they hear music or a message. If the client objects, the project switches to progressive mode, which dials only when an agent is free.
A client wants a non-standard workflow – can you build it?
We customize the platform to the client's process – from their own call form and report to a new call flow. You pay for this work with hours from your support plan.
Will our clients' CRMs connect – Bitrix24, Kommo (amoCRM), Salesforce?
They connect through the API, each to its own project. Popular systems have prebuilt integrations, and we connect the rest during implementation.
Where are client recordings and data stored?
In the cloud, data is hosted by us in the US or UK; on-premises, everything stays on the outsourcer's own hardware. Retention is set per project – a year for a bank client, a month for a store – so you can put the exact period in your client contract.
How do we move from our old platform without stopping projects?
One project at a time: while one moves, the rest keep running on the old system. Customer databases and history are migrated on the Standard plan and above.
How much does the platform cost for an outsourcer?
The platform itself is free, with no per-agent licenses. You pay for technical support (the entry plan is $180), for hosting if you choose the cloud, and for AI – per minute and per conversation.
