Overcome Operational Challenges with Retail Outsourcing Services

Break down barriers to growth and scalability with our tailored retail BPO solutions. Whatever unexpected issues come your way, we handle them professionally.

Peak season overload

Catalog management

Order processing

Returns & refunds

Complaints and escalations

Retention & loyalty

Challenge

During discount seasons, the support line turns into an exhausting marathon. Calls flood in non-stop, stretching your teams thin. But shoppers don’t wait. They leave.  

Solution

We can ramp staffing fast and keep service steady during peak times across all channels. Plus, we assist agents by plugging in AI triage to help them resolve the tickets fast.

50 - 60
%
increase in inquiry handling capacity

Challenge 

Sales suffer from delayed catalog and price updates, incorrect product uploads, and, however hard your in-house team works, they can’t keep up with new drops and marketplace requirements.  

Solution

We manage product data entry and ongoing catalog maintenance across all major platforms, keeping product content clean, consistent, and relevant so your digital shelves stay stocked with accurate information. 

40 - 45
%
fewer listing errors

Challenge

Even minor mistakes in order processing lead to broken logistics, frustrated customers, and order cancellations.  “Where is my order?” messages drain your team. 

Solution

We run validations, updates, and exceptions professionally, with tight control, so your customers track their orders effortlessly and receive them on time.

30 - 35
%
fewer order exceptions and rework

Challenge 

Returns are an inseparable part of retail life. But if they are mismanaged, it undermines customer trust and immediately turns them into one-time buyers. 

Solution 

We standardize return intake, validate eligibility, and keep customers informed at every step. Faster decisions mean fewer follow-ups and quicker resale or restocking. 

20 - 30
%
faster refund-to-resale cycle

Challenge

When complaints pile up, they spread. One unresolved issue becomes a public review, a chargeback, or a “never again” customer. It’s when brand reputation starts to crack. 

Solution

We set up structured customer complaint handling with clear explanations and proper escalation paths. We resolve issues fast, track root causes, and retain customers. 

35 - 40
%
faster complaint resolution

Challenge

If support feels transactional, you win the first sale but then lose the customer. And if follow-ups are slow and small issues go unresolved, customers just disappear for good. 

Solution

We strengthen post-purchase support with proactive updates and consistent care. AI helps handle routine questions, while humans manage the moments that build loyalty. 

15 - 20
%
increase in repeat purchase rate

AI Power + Human Touch = Smart Retail BPO

"Now" customers are people who want it here and now. Quickly, reliably, and with compassion. We combine AI speed with real people who understand what makes customers click “Buy now” again.

What AI Does

Smart intent detection & routing

Reduces resolution time by collecting context and customer intent and routing the inquiry to the right agent.

Chat & voice support

Handling peak traffic, providing instant and accurate answers related to order status, returns, delivery timelines, store policies, and loyalty points across chat and voice.

Smart agent assistance

Retrieves customer history, identifies case type, and suggests relevant prompts for agents in real time to quickly and efficiently resolve their requests.

Performance QA

Evaluates interactions against response speed, tone of voice, accuracy, compliance, and brand alignment to implement necessary improvements.

ai people

What our people do

Edge cases resolution

Connect the dots across orders, warehouses, and carriers to resolve issues with lost or damaged parcels, split shipments, and exceptions that no policy covers.

De-escalation & trust recovery

Step in what emotions run high after a failed delivery, pricing issue, or refund delay, emotions run high. Our experts know how to cool things down.

Final QA & oversight

Review AI outputs, fraud flags, and escalations to avoid blind automation and ensure accuracy and fairness, and keep customer trust intact.

Brand voice protection

Adapt tone and language to match your brand—luxury, mass retail, DTC, or marketplace, so every interaction sounds like you, not another outsourced call center.

Got Questions?
We Have Answers

What is the right time to start partnering with a retail outsourcing company?

When you start noticing certain signs: customer complaints pile up, carts are abandoned, support lines go red because customers keep following up on delayed orders or failed payments, it means that the capacity of your in-house team is no longer enough to operate an inbound call center. Trusted retail outsourcing companies bring their expertise and deep retail industry knowledge to help retail sector players focus on their core activities instead of firefighting.

Is Helpware CX a top outsourcing option for handling returns, refunds, and chargebacks?

Helpware CX supports global ecommerce brands with end-to-end customer service. Our trained agents help resolve post-purchase issues quickly, enhancing the customer experience across all support channels.

Based on the wide experience of partnering with retailers, ecommerce brands, and marketplaces, we have developed end-to-end retail BPO solutions that are set to cover all needs of this domain.

All these backstage functions you delegate to a retail outsourcing company reduce the load on your internal team and ensure cost savings.
