Contact Center Strategy - Authority Brands

When Traditional Staffing Can’t Keep Up, It’s Time for a New Model

Authority Brands — the force behind 16 home service franchise brands — needed a more agile way to handle unpredictable spikes in call volume and improve agent performance across time zones. Their in-house call center was stretched thin, and staffing costs kept climbing. It was clear: their CX model needed to evolve.

The Shift to a Flexible, On-Demand Workforce

What Is GigCX — and Why It Worked for Authority Brands
GigCX (Gig Customer Experience) is an elastic staffing approach that enables companies to scale support with vetted, remote agents — without the overhead of full-time hiring.
For Authority Brands, it meant fast access to trained agents across multiple time zones, improved staffing efficiency, and a new level of cost control that traditional models couldn’t offer.
