Webhelp DACH - an outsourcing partner for companies in the DACH region and beyond
With changing conditions and the decreasing number of CX suppliers in the delivery market, customer experience management is becoming an emerging challenge for companies in the DACH countries.
In order to provide an excellent customer experience at this very time, it is necessary to find an experienced partner who can meet these requirements. However, the DACH region provides attractive onshore solutions and outstanding customer service for a wide range of industries.
With more than 20 years of expertise in business process and customer experience outsourcing, at Webhelp we focus on sustainable growth, investing in technology and developing lasting solutions – in partnership with and for our business partners and their customers.
This enables us to provide customised solutions and an exceptional customer journey.

Webhelp Kosovo – Europe’s up-and-coming nearshore delivery market
Looking at it from a sector and size perspective, customer experience management is a challenging task for companies in the DACH countries. Operational challenges alongside macro-level (social level) disruptions have made the delivery of an excellent Customer Experience (CX) even more complex.
In addition to the tight labour market and rising operating costs, the greatest challenges are increased compliance demands and the rapidly shifting CX delivery models.
A future-oriented outsourcing service provider is characterized, among other things, by its choice of location, which is the perfect basis for outstanding customer service. For this reason, Webhelp has established several operations in Kosovo. Without doubt, Kosovo is one of the most significant and strategically beneficial business locations for the DACH market.

STOCKHOLM, October 13th, 2020
Global customer experience company Webhelp confirms their closure of its operational site in Kaunas, Lithuania by the end of this year.
The ramp down of Webhelp’s activity in Lithuania is linked to a strongly reduced demand in the global travel industry, on which the Kaunas team focuses, and will happen gradually from now until the end of 2020.
The tenured Webhelp team serves various clients at the international level in the areas of customer service, finance and data/fraud protection. Each employee speaks and writes two or more languages. Services provided from the Kaunas office are in Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Russian and English languages.

Webhelp announces partnership to help the hospitality industry bounce back with award winning fintech Yoello
Webhelp, a global leader in customer experience and business solutions, is supporting Yoello as it accelerates its growth in the UK and into Europe.
Yoello’s simple and secure mobile ordering solution allows customers to order food and drink from the comfort of their table by scanning a QR code, using any phone and without downloading an app. With COVID safety in mind, Yoello minimises unnecessary contact, removes queues and replaces physical menus.
Webhelp is providing the order and pay platform with B2B outbound sales support and will be helping the company onboard new clients to meet the spike in demand following the new measures introduced to the hospitality sector.
Yoello, which is offering new clients a free 3 month trial of its mobile table ordering platform, will benefit from Webhelp’s highly-skilled experts, a bespoke sales model, market intelligence and analytics.
David Turner, Webhelp UK Region CEO, said:
“Our people bring unrivalled expertise and a start-up mentality that is essential for innovative and ambitious firms like Yoello. It’s exciting to partner with a fast-growing fintech that is helping the hospitality industry adapt by keeping employees and guests safe. From the beginning Webhelp embraced an entrepreneurial spirit which remains at the very heart of everything we do, even 20 years later. Our founders are still as passionate to this day, and their continued leadership enables us to help exciting technology innovators like Yoello to prosper in their own journey.”
Sina Yamani, CEO of Yoello, said:
“We’re so pleased that Webhelp is able to provide valuable insight and support for our business at this exciting time. Yoello is helping the hospitality industry move seamlessly to a safe and easy way to serve food and drink and Webhelp is a perfect partner – together we’re enabling even more operators to take a data-driven approach to social distancing.”
The fast growing fintech received recognition last week (Thursday 1st October) at the Wales Start-up awards, picking up the award for Fintech Start-up of the Year and Mobile and Emerging Technologies Start-up of the Year. Now in their fifth year, the awards are exclusive to Welsh companies that have launched within the last three years and provide a unique opportunity to recognise the achievements of those entrepreneurs that are making an incredible impact on the Welsh economy.

WebHEALTH goes above and beyond to raise funds and awareness.
This September we set out on our WebHEALTH Kilometer Challenge, traveling the circumference of the world in 30 days.
As a people-first company with a strong dedication to our social and environmental responsibility Webhelp embarked and completed an inspiring journey with great success.
By partnering up with STEPtember, a charity event raising funds for critical research on cerebral palsy, we’re happy to contribute to a world in which children will be able to overcome this debilitating motor disorder.
As exercise and simply moving are also great to prevent heart disease, we put the spotlight on World Heart Day, spreading awareness and knowledge on keeping up a healthy lifestyle.
And of course, we managed to live our values and reinforce our unique culture every day. Community and support are essential to well-being, especially in the challenging time that is 2020, and we strive to enjoy every day by focusing on the positives whenever we can.
Reuniting thousands of amazing, unique people across the world around a common vision is something we do daily, making sure we’re a great place to grow.
Thanks to the contributions and support of our Webhelpers from around the world, it has been an incredible journey. And as passionate game-changers who thrive on making a difference, the participants not only reached our target of 40.075km but went on to reach for the stars.
We traveled an incredible 112.968 km, walking, running, biking, rowing and all you can think of, not only around the Earth, but the Moon, Mars and Venus!
We’ve always known our Webhelpers are a talented bunch, so we weren’t surprised to see them enjoying so many different forms of exercise throughout September. Check out our highlights reel featuring clips and photographs of our journey here below.
Our journey doesn’t end here though. This challenge is part of our global WebHEALTH program which focuses on our people’s wellbeing every day and everywhere. We’ll continue to invest in our people and planet through dedicated initiatives, bringing our vision of making business more human to life in everything we do.
Webhealth KM Challenge
WebHEALTH KM Challenge has travelled beyond the Earth to raise funds for STEPtember!
Webhelp launched its biggest WebHEALTH challenge yet, reuniting thousands of Webhelpers from across the world around one common goal; travelling the circumference of the world through exercise in just 30 days. We’ve now hit the halfway mark of our time to complete the WebHEALTH KM Challenge, and have smashed our initial goals far beyond!
In just 15 days, we’ve not only travelled the circumference of the world, we’ve also gone around the moon for a total of 50.996KM!
Back on earth, some of our participants are getting very creative in adding kilometers, like our colleague Tor Andre, a customer service representative based in Malaga who took his Webhelp spirit to the next level!
Besides having fun and working on our fitness as a community, there’s a bigger reason behind our dedication to this challenge.
As a company determined to make business more human, Corporate Social Responsibility is highly important to us.
For many, being able to exercise or even simply walk might be an entirely normal thing, but unfortunately, this is not the case for everyone.
One of the many reasons we launched this initiative is to sponsor important charities such as STEPtember, a global initiative to raise funds for critical Cerebral Palsy research.
Cerebral Palsy is the most common motor disability in childhood that in various degrees hinders its patients’ from living a normal life.
Webhelp has joined many major global and local corporations to raise funds through the STEPtember initiatives to support research that could truly change many patients’ lives.
To find out more please visit www.steptember.us.
Here is what Sandrine Asseraf, Group Managing Director, People & Business Development – Legal & Compliance and Dominique Chatelin, President of Supervisory board Webhelp Payment Services had to say about the initiative:
How does Webhelp and sponsoring charities fit together?
Sandrine Asseraf: Our Think Human approach means that we take care of our people and their health. We look after each other and also the communities we live in. Participating or funding the associations in our communities which contribute to changing the life of people, is part of our commitment to positively impact our societies. The KM Challenge is not just Webhelp supporting an amazing cause, it is each Webhelper playing their part in making business more human – inside and outside of Webhelp.
Why is it so important to participate in STEPtember?
Dominique Chatelin: WebHEALTH Kilometer challenge is a great initiative, and by combining it with STEPtember, we can raise money to finance medical research and support for kids suffering from Cerebral Palsy. This gives us the opportunity to Think Human as we walk for kids that will probably never walk. The program was born in Australia, and is now also available in France, Netherlands, Turkey and many other countries: https://www.steptember.org.au/
Are you participating in the challenge yourself and how?
Dominique Chatelin: Of course! I am running and you can support me on my page: https://www.steptember.fr/fundraisers/dominiquechatelin.
In the past, I have participated in a semi-marathon pushing a wheelchair to contribute to the same cause.
Sandrine Asseraf: I am a much slower runner than Dominique so I try to do some biking as well to put in more kilometers!
Any words of wisdom to close with?
Dominique Chatelin & Sandrine Asseraf: Having good health is an undervalued gift that we often take for granted. Until we face people that do not have the chance of this invaluable gift, running for them takes little efforts. Nonetheless, it is such a big help for these kids and adults who will never walk! Enjoy your WebHEALTH Kilometer Challenge and have fun contributing to STEPtember.
We’ve managed an incredible achievement in these first 2 weeks already, but now is not the time to stop! We are on our way around Mars as we continue to reach for the stars!
You can keep track of our progress in this blogspace and across our social media pages through the hashtag #WebHEALTHKilometerChallenge
