How Satellite Office helped Hubster establish its 24/7 Customer Support team and scale its capabilities in a cost-effective way
Overview.
Restaurants use Hubster to superpower their business with innovative all-in-one restaurant management solutions. Thousands of restaurants trust Hubster to increase sales, save time, and make delivery easier.
The Challenge.
The challenges of scaling up the business, particularly when it came to customer support, were one of the earliest ones the Hubster team came across.
Our product at the time was really new, which meant that there were a lot of gaps and we had to cover a lot of these by having a really well-trained, really effective customer support team. Unfortunately in Sydney it was quite difficult to find the right people. And then also the model that we had meant that if we could find the right people, it wasn’t always cost efficient and effective for us to scale, especially the type of pace that we needed to.

Key Outcome
- 24/7 Customer Support team
- Client Technical Onboarding
- Customer Support Initiatives
- Asia-Pacific Internal Support
The solution.
Hubster started talking with Satellite Office about establishing first a small offshore Customer Service team that could deliver far better coverage and far better support than they would get locally. They were soon able to launch a 24/7 customer support team with six agents.
In less than a year, Hubster’s offshore team grew from 6 people to almost 60.
So we started with customer support. We realized that our team doing support was so good, but they were also starting to stretch into other areas. So very quickly we launched onboarding and we started to do some more technical onboarding for our restaurant customers. We then moved into some scalable customer success initiatives. We started piloting some scaled kinds of sales enablement activities, and then we actually started supporting other parts of our business in other markets across the Asia Pacific.
The results.
