Kallfly
Kallfly is an On-Demand virtual Contact Center marketplace, connecting businesses with experienced home-based call center agents. It is a platform like 99designs, oDesk, and Mechanical Turk, but with freelance call center agents available on demand instead of graphic designers, in the cloud, supported by our SIP and WebRTC-based VoIP infrastructure. Instead of contracting with a traditional call center, businesses can allocate resources through Kallfly’s web site. Instead of commuting to an office, call center agents can work from home, using their laptops or phones.
Humans As A Service
AWS’s Mechanical Turk was the first platform to connect human labor with tasks defined by businesses. oDesk connected employers to freelancers. 99designs focused on the graphic design industry. We do the same thing for the call center industry.
Traditional Competition
Traditional call centers are built around SIP infrastructure. It takes two weeks for a new client to set up a new job campaign; clients have to pay for over provisioned capacity, with a “minimum order” of 7–10 call center agents, and an initial deposit of US$1,000. In the Philippines alone there will be 1.3 million call center agents by 2016 commuting for hours to their cubicles.
Opportunity
Most calls originate in the US and go halfway around the world to reach Manila. Why, then, should call center agents have to commute for 2 hours to work, when they have Internet connections at home? Because historically, SIP phones were only available in the office PBX. WebRTC is a new technology that enables phone calls in any web browser. Now call center agents can work from home. And that makes it possible for Kallfly to build a virtual platform that disintermediate existing call centers.
Solution
For call center agents, KallFly is a web app that provides a familiar interface to a script, access to the client software systems, and integrated VoIP via WebRTC.
For client businesses, Kallfly is a virtual contact center where they can upload their script, grant access, and launch any number of agents by time of day, day of week, or week of year.
As a marketplace that connects the two, Kallfly can offer dynamic pricing of agents, with bidding for hourly rates and hold time priority. As with traditional call centers, agents can train to serve multiple campaigns and multiple clients.
Kallfly lets you handle calls on the fly!
