Learn MoreWhat is BPO?
Business Process Outsourcing lets you move non-core functions to a trusted partner. This reduces staffing needs and overheads. At CION, we specialise in streamlining vital processes for UK businesses from our operations in South Africa. You can access a dedicated remote team, a complete call centre, or a bespoke IT solution. Work is delivered efficiently and cost-effectively. UK clients save at least 50 percent on staffing, with South Africa recognised as the leading BPO destination for English-speaking markets. From finance and accounts to customer service and back-office support, you can outsource entire processes or departments without direct employment, equipment provision, or system management.
- South Africa was named the top global BPO destination in 2021 and 2022
- UK businesses that use offshore support often report cost savings of over 40 percent
- With very high English fluency and strong cultural alignment, South African teams perform well on NPS, first contact resolution, and customer experience
- Organisations using South African providers often scale two to four times faster on customer and back-office roles than UK-only models
