Running operations and sustaining the quality simultaneously can be a difficult balancing act. You may have to be on your own in many operational aspects such as finance, service, and sales. Adding to that, it takes a lot of effort, time, and energy which can be a distraction to core business competencies. This is where outsourcing business becomes convenient and strategic.
In today’s business environment, most companies form partnerships with suppliers as well as with contractors. Briefly, outsourcing is where you hire a third-party service on a contract or agreement basis in handling the tasks, management, and other functions. Working with outside contractors, or outsourcing can allow companies to do business more efficiently and effectively. For instance, when a company needs to grow or strengthen its Human Resource capabilities, instead of building it in-house, Brandt can be contracted as support to manage your business’s HR operations. This shortcuts the time, effort, and costs required to do it internally. With that let’s take a glimpse at the essential information related to the benefits of outsourcing.
Efficiency
Hiring outsourcing partners by your side will be more efficient and focused. When a company collaborates with outsourcing partners, they bring years of experience in business expertise and practice in delivering complex projects. This leads the staff to focus more on their core competencies. Besides, hiring outsourcing partners improves focus on the core business. It allows the leadership team to focus on the strength of the employees and company. Therefore, large business companies such as Shopee and Petronas have collaborated with Brandt. Brandt has increased the efficiency of risk management. Where they reduce the inconsistent and uncertainty of business operations.
Cost savings
High expenses that involve new purchasing, hiring new and training employees, and a new location can be prohibitive. It may be strategically advisable to outsource rather than to expand internally. If you have never tried outsourcing before, you can start in a simple way such as telemarketing, data entry, or basic functions. Besides, it lowers the cost of new hiring and training. For instance, corporate management has to spend a lot to hire the right person and train them accordingly. By outsourcing the role, it helps reduce the cost of hiring, onboarding, healthcare, payroll taxes, and other benefits.
Get access to the skilled resource
By outsourcing a function, there is no longer a need to train and invest in recruiting suitable employees. This is because outsourcing is focused on the KPIs and SLAs instead of staffing or recruitment. Brandt takes care of the resources and staffing and is responsible for delivering the required results. This removes operational complexity for an organization and gives allows better service offerings and/or higher quality results.
When should I outsource?
Each organization needs to consider its current operations and cost structure before embarking on outsourcing certain functions or services. However, if you’re looking to achieve business agility and increase overall competitiveness, outsourcing may be worth exploring. One of the best ways to decide whether or not to outsource is to perform a cost/time calculation. The cost for you to grow your customer service department and in the time required may be more expensive than working with a dedicated Customer Service provider. Alternatively, time may not be on your side and rapid scaling up may be required and a dedicated outsourcer will be able to deliver the results required.
