An external customer support specialist brought in to handle frontline service in fintech. Customer queries resolved within SLA, feedback captured, and service processes strengthened.
Trigger
Peak Demand

0.5 FTE
Working Model
Hybrid
Alphacomm is a Rotterdam-based fintech company delivering digital payment and loyalty solutions to businesses and consumers. As its customer base grew and service demand increased, it became clear that existing capacity was no longer sufficient to maintain the quality of support the company stood for.
In customer service, delays cost trust. During peak periods, that risk was becoming real, not because of any lack of quality, but because of a temporary gap in capacity.
The challenge
Alphacomm needed an experienced customer support professional who could hit the ground running, work independently, and add immediate value to the customer contact process, without requiring extended onboarding or close supervision.
Blackbear's role
Working closely with Alphacomm, the scope of the engagement was defined with precision: the right profile, the right channels, and clear expectations around SLAs and customer feedback. A specialist with a proven track record in customer support within digital services was identified and matched to the team. The integration was smooth, and the professional was contributing meaningfully from the very first week.
Result
Customer queries were handled promptly and professionally across email, chat, and phone, consistently meeting SLA targets. All interactions were logged and insights shared with the customer success team. The specialist also proactively contributed improvements to FAQs and working guidelines, leaving the service function stronger than before the engagement began.
