Wow-24-7 started its work in 2008 with a small team of agents serving the internal needs of software development companies. Good service, expertise in customer support, and the desire to go above and beyond and overcome new challenges led to the decision to provide support to external clients. After several successful cases, the team realized that they could create additional value, change company service processes and increase customer satisfaction. A lot of positive feedback from happy customers, and hundreds of solved complex cases added confidence to the decision to create WOW24-7. In 2016, the company began its journey to global success.
Various market research and in-depth analysis were needed to better understand customer needs. The expertise was gained, and the company developed. An essential achievement of WOW24-7 was the creation of a comprehensive training system that would allow the team of agents to adapt to the specific requirements of each project quickly.
