Why the outsourcing of administrative everyday business makes sense
Companies in every sector must confront market competition on many levels, in particular in customer services. A client who wants to be treated well expects a total service. For example, if a client sees an attractive offer on the company website, they will want to claim it exactly as it is, for themselves. If the provider cannot implement their own offer perfectly, the customer is only one mouse click away from the next provider.
The outsourcing of back office services can give all companies a competitive advantage, regardless of whether it is a small business in the chimney sweep sector or a large online shop.
Why external back office services?
The outsourcing of certain administrative areas needs to be well considered. Which business transactions can a company pas to external hands? Above all, procedures which always take place in the same way and standard processes with high fixed costs could be performed by professional third parties. Once these are implemented in the company, they can be repeatedly processed in the same way and with a high degree of efficiency.
As a collection service provider, ETI offers numerous services in the back office area. Sector specialised employees take care of open claims, operate interface solutions for quick transfers, collect and look after data, operate audit and control procures and deal with the necessary correspondence. Instead of using their own staff for these time consuming tasks, companies can use them in more strategically meaningful areas. All creditor and debtor accounting, including the recall and complaints processes, can be undertaken in the back office.
