SHARED SERVICES AND BPO

Protect SLAs and margins together.

We help shared service centres and BPOs automate high-volume queues across clients and functions. Delivery stays inside contractual SLAs while effort per transaction falls.

PRESSURES IN THE SECTOR

Clients expect productivity gains every year.

Shared service centres and BPOs operate under contracts with annual productivity commitments, tight SLAs and penalties. Wage inflation and attrition push costs up while clients push prices down. Automation is the main lever left.

The challenge is scale and variety. One centre may run finance, HR and customer operations for many clients, each on different systems and rules. Automation must be reusable across clients, secure between them and resilient enough to protect SLAs.

Productivity clauses.

Contracts often require year-on-year efficiency gains.

Client segregation.

Data and credentials for different clients must never mix.

Attrition.

Process knowledge leaves with people unless it is captured in automation and documentation.

USE CASES

Where automation pays in shared services.

Accounts payable at scale

Invoice capture, validation and posting across many client ERPs from a shared, configurable process.

01

Order management

Order entry, credit checks and confirmations in high-volume queues with SLA-aware prioritisation.

02

Employee data administration

Joiner, mover and leaver changes across client HRMS platforms with evidence for each change.

03

Customer back-office queues

Address changes, refunds, cancellations and account updates handled by unattended bots behind agents.

04

Quality sampling and audit

Automatically sample completed transactions, check them against rules and prepare QA scorecards.

05

Transition and knowledge capture

Use task mining and recorded walkthroughs to build PDDs quickly during new client transitions.

06

SLA and MIS reporting

Compile daily SLA, backlog and productivity reports from workflow tools and client systems.

07

Reusable automation catalogue

Build components once, such as ERP posting or email triage, and configure them per client.

08

Agent assist with LLMs

Retrieve client SOPs through RAG and suggest next steps to agents, with guardrails on what can be said.

09
DOMAIN AND COMPLIANCE

Considerations we design for.

  • Strict client segregation for bots, credentials, queues and logs
  • Client-specific data protection obligations under GDPR, HIPAA and the DPDP Act 2023
  • SOC 2 and ISO 27001-style control evidence produced from bot logs
  • SLA-aware queue priorities and escalation when bots fall behind
  • Licence utilisation tracked so shared robots are not left idle
  • Process changes from clients handled through formal change requests
  • Bot-to-FTE capacity models agreed with commercial teams
  • Clean handover and exit documentation for every client automation
WHAT TYPICALLY CHANGES

Productivity you can commit to.

Protected

SLAs

Bots clear routine volume so people handle exceptions on time.

Reusable

Components

Each new client starts from a tested catalogue.

Faster

Transitions

Process capture and stabilisation take less time.

Higher

Licence utilisation

Shared robots run across clients and shifts.

FAQ

Questions we hear first.

Can't see yours? Ask an automation architect

Can one bot serve several clients?

A shared component can, with client-specific configuration and separate credentials. Runtime isolation is designed around your contracts and each client's security requirements.

How do automation gains fit our commercial model?

We help build capacity models that translate bot throughput into FTE equivalents, so you can plan productivity commitments and pricing.

Can you support a new client transition?

Yes. We use task mining and structured walkthroughs to document processes quickly, then automate stable steps once the process settles.

Do you offer people as well as automation?

Yes. Our people services provide developers, pods and trained talent who can sit inside your delivery teams.
