Routing and channels
Voice, chat and messaging channels, with routing rules based on need, language and skills.
Industry context
Contact centre and customer experience in retail and e-commerce
We set up contact centres that route each call, chat or message to the right agent, with the caller's history on screen.
Most of the design work in a contact centre sits in routing rules, integrations and the measures supervisors use. We design the routing, IVR and digital channels, connect them to CRM and case systems, and set up workforce management and quality monitoring.
Retailers trade on thin margins, with peaks around Ramadan, Eid and White Friday and customers who move between app, website and store in a single purchase. Merchandising, store operations and digital teams each own part of that journey, so we plan changes around the trading calendar. Regional contact centres usually serve callers in Arabic and English, often on WhatsApp as well as voice, and need call recording and data handling that meet the UAE PDPL and the Saudi PDPL, with numbers and telephony from operators licensed by TDRA or CST.
After stabilisation we hand over to your teams or keep running the service with you.
Alongside sector regulation, we often map delivery evidence to cross-industry baselines such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which many risk reviewers already use.
What we deliver
Specialists in retail and e-commerce and platform engineers, with you from design to stable operation.
Agent desktop and integration
Agents see contact history and open cases in one view, without switching between systems.
Workforce and quality
Forecasting, scheduling and quality reviews set up so supervisors can manage service levels.
Consumer and data rules
We design consent, returns and customer data handling around consumer protection rules and personal data law in each market, such as the UAE PDPL and the Saudi PDPL, with ZATCA e-invoicing requirements where Saudi sales are in scope.
IVR and self-service
Menus and self-service flows in Arabic and English, designed around the main contact reasons.
Recording and data handling
Rules for recording, retaining and accessing calls and chats, agreed with privacy and compliance.
What to have in place first
A contact centre programme is ready to start when service leads know why people contact you and which service levels matter.
- Merchandising and digital teams have agreed who owns product and price data.
- Service leads have agreed the main contact reasons and the service levels they want to measure.
- The channels for launch, including any WhatsApp or chat service, have been chosen.
