From 20-Minute Calls to 90 Seconds: How One Logistics Company Ditched Their Offshore Call Center

Use Case

The Problem

Offshore headaches and 20 minute calls. Their scheduling process? Painful. Not to mention hit or miss problem solving.

The Delivery Failure Disasters

Specializing in white-glove delivery for enterprise clients across the U.S, we're talking high-value, time-sensitive shipments where precision matters. Every failed delivery attempt means wasted fuel, wasted driver time, and the headache of rescheduling.

What the team needed: Proactive recipient calling to confirm delivery windows, verify access, and flag potential issues before the truck ever leaves the lot. The current system had fatal flaws:

  • The offshore call center wasn't cutting it.
    While cost-effective on paper there were constant gaps in communication and quality control problems.
  • Calls were dragging on forever.
    Some scheduling calls hit 20+ minutes as reps worked through complex questionnaires and rescheduling scenarios.
  • Callbacks were a mess.
    When recipients missed the initial call and tried calling back, there was no smooth way to reconnect them with the scheduling process. Just friction and delays.
  • Catching problems early was hit-or-miss.
    Some deliveries have showstoppers: five flights of stairs with no elevator, truck access restrictions, impossible scheduling conflicts. Identifying these issues consistently? Not happening.
