What is business process outsourcing?
Business process outsourcing (BPO) means handing a business process, such as customer service, bookkeeping, or data entry, to an outside team instead of staffing it in-house.
Many BPO providers run the process for you with their own staff and supervisors. With Remote Employee®, the people working on your process are full-time employees you choose, and they work as part of your team.
Either way, BPO gives a business access to a wider talent pool and lower labor costs, without adding recruiting, payroll, or office space in-house.
Processes businesses outsource
From front-line customer care to back-office support and everything in between, these are the processes our clients hire for most:
- Customer service: calls, chat, email, bookings, and scheduling.
- Back office: administration, records, and data entry.
- Accounting: bookkeeping, payables, receivables, and billing.
- IT support: help desk and technical support.
- Development: software, web, and app development.
- Sales support: lead generation and appointment setting.

Who BPO is for
Small and mid-sized businesses
BPO staffing helps smaller companies compete by giving them skilled professionals at a lower cost, without managing recruiting, HR, or office space.
Large enterprises
Larger organizations use it to staff supporting functions flexibly, so their in-house teams can focus on strategic work.
Startups and fast-growing companies
Startups get cost-effective staff and put their budget where it matters most, adding people as they grow.
