Ventrica expands its second site to meet growing demand for its services

Ventrica is preparing for its busiest peak season yet in the run up to Christmas 2018. After recently winning two new contracts including a well-known luxury brand, the company will increase its workforce from 450 to 650 by the end of September, to provide customer service management across a wide range of channels from phone and web chat to social media.

Impressive growth in line with on-going investment and omni-channel strategy

Founder and Managing Director of Ventrica, Dino Forte comments about the company’s impressive growth and future direction, “We have had a phenomenal last 12 months that have seen the opening of our second site together with the winning of additional business particularly in the retail sector where customer service is so important to supporting brand values and loyalty. We believe it has been our people, environment and technical expertise that has been the deciding factor on why international brands have chosen Ventrica to represent them, not just in the UK but across Europe and the World, delivering highly responsive 24/7 service across popular and emerging channels from web chat and phone through to digital platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. Much of the work we are now doing on behalf of new and existing customers involves working with them to deliver technical enhancements designed to encourage greater levels of self-serve and improved customer experiences & ultimately it’s all about making it easy for the customer in order to maximise satisfaction and generate brand followers and advocates.

Some of these initiatives include the implementation of intelligent knowledge management systems that utilise machine learning and natural language processing, both derivatives of artificial intelligence, to help recognise customer behaviours and identify quickly the types of questions they are likely to need the answer to. In addition we have the ability to front-end these solutions with virtual assistants to deal with more simplistic enquiries before being passed through to a live customer service advisor.

Our ambition is to continue to maintain sustainable growth servicing customers where we can add significant value whilst retaining the highly personalised approach that we offer as a mid-sized operator (650 seats).”

The company will continue to grow its Multilingual team and will be recruiting for further French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Advisors along with a host of new languages. To support these plans Ventrica aims to open a third site in Europe in early 2019
