You want to upscale and service your clients. But you want it done in days or weeks not months. You have key performance indicators that you need to meet, but you also want to keep your costs at a reasonable level. You are looking to hire skilled practitioners, but you don’t have the time nor the resources) to train a new team or familiarize them with your chosen platform. If you need these tasks done “yesterday”, then NEARSOL’s seat leasing solution is YOUR solution. NEARSOL’s seat leasing solution as a service (SLaaS) eliminates the capital investment of building a brand new site by providing turnkey facilities at a moment’s notice, giving you the option to grow as needed in a state-of-the-art facility while you maintain control of your operation. By partnering with a BPO that is agile enough to offer bespoke services, your business is best positioned to meet your KPIs.
When it comes to outsourcing, an array of models and service combinations are available for business. Depending on what you need, how much your budget is, and what your ROI plans are, there will always be something that would best suit your business. Post lockdown, a model that has become more popular for businesses seeking to scale is seat leasing.
Seat Leasing primarily deals with leasing a complete or fully functional, fully equipped office. It’s a great option for businesses that have small teams but cannot take a huge investment in building an office from zero. In BPO parlance, seat leasing services can further be classified into cold seats and warm seats. Cold seat leasing includes office essentials such as computers, internet, furniture, and other provisions. Warm seats, on the other hand, include the option to hire an additional workforce to fulfill several functions such as administrative, HR, and accounting.
Clients that pursue this service include BPOs who wish to expand their capacity without having to invest in the traditional setup.
Seat Leasing Advantages
Seat leasing is the most in-demand outsourcing model in the Philippines for good reason. It is a more cost-efficient option compared to renting an office space. With seat leasing (or SLaaS), clients only need to pay monthly premiums for a fully furnished office space, complete equipment with software, and trained personnel.
Seat Leasing gives you the ability to scale up when starting a new business in the Philippines.
Iloilo City, in addition to being known as the City of Smiles, is emerging as one of the country’s top BPO hubs. Moving south of Metro Manila and away from the congestion, rising costs, and noise, has been a great option for both local and global companies.
For PEZA prospects, NEARSOL facilities are located at Two Techno Place, a five-floor facility along Megaworld Boulevard, Iloilo Business Park, Iloilo City with 300 to 500 workstations.
BOI prospects, on the other hand, can take advantage of NEARSOL facilities at Two Global, a four-floor, 419-seat facility along Megaworld Boulevard, Iloilo corner Enterprise Roads, Mandurriao, Iloilo City, and Two Fintech, a new, 166,155, and 109-seat, eight-floor BPO building which is also located within the Iloilo Business Park.
Regardless of where your business is registered, NEARSOL is equipped to support you in these two facilities in Iloilo (in addition to its other hubs across the Philippines).
NEARSOL is equipped to provide temporary space for businesses that need to start operations while simultaneously building their own HQ (swing space).
Swing spaces are temporary office spaces companies or even teams can use while their permanent office is being built or renovated. If your company is upsizing, moving, resizing, renovating, or even dealing with circumstances such as water or flood damage, trust that a NEARSOL swing space can fit your requirements.
At NEARSOL, clients can expect a dedicated reception area, exclusive production space, training rooms, office spaces, huddle rooms, an assigned recruitment area, a cafeteria, conference rooms, data centers, and even KTV or pool rooms.
Health and wellness and the important balance of work and play are integrated into the design of every NEARSOL hub.
NEARSOL offers hub and spoke spaces that allow clients to locate agents as they work near home.
Clients are well supported if they so decide on a hybrid workspace. With a majority of their agents working from home, “hub and spoke” clients are able to have small offices across the countryside for agents to work from home or near home.
Also, with the work culture and top management nurturing an HR and tech-forward approach, NEARSOL no longer uses the traditional setup of whole floor takers. Depending on the client’s requirements, the client can divide and design office space on an as-needed basis. For instance, at our Two Fintech site, our clients are able to expand and contract at a moment’s notice with them taking as few as 109, 150, or 166 seats to taking the whole capacity.
With the SLaaS option, NEARSOL can offer fully functional workstations, inclusive of hardware and an IT team to support our clients 24/7 at minimal cost (other providers are more expensive) Our sites are specifically built to cater to scaling businesses – fully equipped with training space and interview rooms
NEARSOL’s SLaaS offers highly flexible terms versus the traditional five-year minimum lease. No other BPO can match this agility when it comes to support staff, facility management, IT support, and housekeeping.
Further, as opposed to needing a few months lead time, with NEARSOL, clients’ start dates can be arranged to just a few day’s notice.
IT equipment, PCs, and data center equipment with high data security is outfitted to fit the client’s needs. The white glove portion of this service includes ample design and branding that is tailor-fit to client requirements.
