Dedicated / Outsourced Chat Teams
Dedicated / Outsourced Chat Teams
When a pilot proves the model, you can scale to a team that is dedicated to your operation. GCO recruits, trains, supervises and manages it, so you get a chat team without building one.
- Free 7-day pilot
- No setup fee
- No long-term commitment
- Continue after the pilot only if you choose
The business need
Building an in-house chat team is slow and distracting
Recruiting, training, scheduling and managing operators pulls attention from your product and rarely scales cleanly.
- Hiring and training take months
- Scheduling and coverage are a constant puzzle
- Quality depends on management attention
- Scaling up or down is slow
What GCO manages
What we run for you
- Team structure: operators and supervisors
- Training and onboarding to your operation
- Scheduling and capacity planning
- Quality supervision and reporting
Delivery model
How GCO delivers it
Start from a pilot
The pilot defines the workflow, volume and standards that the dedicated team will run on.
Team sized to your demand
We size the team to your volume and coverage, and adjust it as your operation changes.
Managed by GCO
Staffing, supervision, escalation and reporting are run by GCO on its platform.
Operational workflow
How a conversation moves
Pilot results define the operating model
The team structure and capacity are agreed
The team is onboarded and goes live
Supervisors manage quality and escalations
Capacity is reviewed and adjusted with you
Capabilities
Capabilities
- Dedicated operators and team leads
- Capacity and workload visibility
- Supervision & QA
- Defined escalation path
- Reporting on operations
- Scaling up or down with demand
Ideal for
- Companies moving from a pilot to a standing operation
- Platforms with steady, high chat volume
- Teams who want to outsource chat operations end to end
Supervision & QA
Supervised work, with a defined escalation path.
Operations run under team leads who supervise live queues and review conversations against the standards agreed with you. GCO formalises this workflow further as the operation grows; we do not claim a large QA department, certifications or quality statistics.
- Team leads monitor queues, assignments and response timers
- Conversations are reviewed against the agreed guidelines
- Feedback goes back to operators; guidelines are refined with you
- A defined escalation path when a human decision is needed
Escalation
Operator
Handles the conversation and raises an escalation, with a reason and a note, when it cannot be resolved safely alone.
Supervisor / Team Lead
Takes the escalation, reviews the conversation, adds internal notes and resolves it, or escalates further when a client decision is required.
GCO Management / Client Contact
Handles escalations that need a decision from the client, records the decision, and closes the loop with the team.
Escalate when:
- The operator needs a decision
- Client-side approval is needed
- A sensitive or exceptional situation occurs
- The operator cannot safely resolve the conversation
Every escalation is recorded on the platform: who raised it, why, who handled it, each status change and the resolution.
The 7-day pilot
What the pilot looks like
The 7-day pilot is the first step: it defines the workflow and standards. After Day 7, if you choose to continue, we agree the team structure and commercial terms with you.
- Free 7-day pilot
- No setup fee
- No long-term commitment
- Continue after the pilot only if you choose
Coverage hours and languages are confirmed per project, based on staffing, before go-live.

Questions about this service
How big can a dedicated team be?
Team size depends on your volume and coverage. We size it with you after the pilot rather than quoting a number up front.
Who manages the team?
GCO supervisors and team leads manage the operators and report to you.
What does it cost?
After the free pilot we agree commercial terms with you based on the scope. There is no long-term commitment required for the pilot.
