Help desk outsourcing

Help desk outsourcing that keeps your users moving, day and night

Help desk outsourcing puts a live, trained person on your support line whenever your customers or employees need help. Southern Voices agents answer your help desk calls in your name, follow your troubleshooting steps and knowledge base, log every request, and escalate what needs your technicians.

Your in-house team stops losing hours to repeat questions and after-hours calls, and your users stop waiting on voicemail. We answer 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in English and Spanish. Southern Voices is a US company headquartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Our agents work from our office and remotely, and every call runs through our US-hosted systems.

Works with your ticketing system and your rules

Our agents can log tickets directly in your help desk software when you give them access. If your platform has an API, we can build an integration so call details create tickets automatically.

When agents need direct access to your systems, we staff your account with US-only agents, and any client can request the same. Pricing may change.
