eCommerce Development Review from Robert Keuroglian
We've been working on three separate projects with FrontLevels and have provided them with requirements and the kind of technology we were looking to use. One of the projects they've taken on is Shopify design and development. Another website they're creating is a B2B food exporting site. This website has been built with Adobe Experience Manager and doesn't require a developer to manage the site. They deliver quickly and within deadlines. There have been a few bugs throughout the process, but that's expected, and they fix them. FrontLevels has been honest about their ability to finish tasks, and they follow a strict process. They set expectations and deliver. We communicate via phone calls, WhatsApp, and Microsoft Teams.

The successful completion of this milestone indicates that the project has met its objectives and is prepared for launch. The achievement was made possible through commitment to meeting project timelines and delivering high-quality results. all thanks to Frontlevels

Reviews verified by DesignRush and sourced from the agency's profile View All Reviews
What you pay depends on the contract structure. There are four main models:
An hourly rate involves paying for an agent’s time regardless of how many interactions they handle. It runs:
$8 to $15 offshore
$20 to $30 nearshore
$40 to $60+ onshore
Per-agent (FTE) is a flat monthly fee of $1,200 to $4,000 per dedicated agent. Predictable, but you pay the same regardless of the volume.
Per-interaction charges $1–$5 per resolved ticket or $0.50–$2 per chat. Cost-efficient when volume is low or seasonal, but bills spike during busy periods.
Outcome-based ties fees to KPIs like CSAT scores or first-call resolution — typically $3 to $9 per successful resolution.
How do I compare two BPO providers quoting similar prices?
When two BPO firms quote similar prices, the decision should come down to industry experience, agent attrition rates, SLA terms with defined remedies, and how each vendor handles your specific exception cases, not the headline rate.
Ask for case studies from clients in your industry. A BPO company with relevant experience can start right away, while one without it will learn on your dime.
Then go beyond the deck. Give both vendors your two or three most complex support scenarios and ask them to walk you through exactly how they’d handle each one. The vendor with a documented protocol beats the one that says, “We’d escalate.”
Pay close attention to SLA clauses, specifically what happens when they’re missed, not just what the targets are. Two vendors can quote identical SLAs but differ completely on the consequences for missing them.
Finally, ask for the agent attrition rate for the specific team being proposed, not the company average. High turnover on your account means constant retraining and inconsistent service, regardless of the price.
What contract terms do most buyers accept that they shouldn’t?
The contract terms most buyers accept are auto-renewal clauses with short notice windows, SLAs with no financial remedy for misses, and IP clauses that leave process documentation owned by the vendor — all of which remove your leverage once performance drops.
Four terms worth pushing back on before you sign:
Auto-renewal clauses can trap you into a long-term agreement if the notice window is short, often 60–90 days. Miss the window, and you’re locked in for another year regardless of performance.
SLAs without consequences. Most contracts define targets but don’t specify what happens when they’re missed. Your agreement should define redressal terms, whether that’s service credits, payment for damages, or the right to exit early.
IP and process documentation ownership. Avoid clauses that grant the BPO provider exclusive rights to your intellectual property, or that allow them to sublicense or transfer it to third parties. If they own the runbooks built on your processes, switching vendors gets expensive.
Exit and termination terms need to include your ability to re-employ key personnel who hold critical knowledge of your account; otherwise, that knowledge walks out with the vendor.
The simplest check: read the contract assuming performance will eventually disappoint. If you have no leverage when that happens, negotiate before you sign.
How do BPO companies handle a sudden surge in volume?
BPO companies handle volume surges through a combination of flexible staffing, automation, and cross-trained overflow teams, but how well they execute depends entirely on what your contract says about surge capacity before it happens.
Most BPO providers have a few ways to handle sudden spikes:
Bringing in temporary agents
Moving staff from quieter channels to busier ones
Using chatbots or self-service tools to handle routine questions before they reach a human. Self-service tools can deflect 20-40% of contacts during a surge.
But not every BPO provider handles this well. When surges go unmanaged, call abandonment rates can reach 15%, which means frustrated customers and damage to your brand, not the vendor’s.
The right time to ask about this is before you sign. Find out how much notice your BPO company needs to scale up, and what the contract says about volume above your agreed tier.
A vendor who can staff up fast but delivers off-brand service during your busiest period is a liability, not a solution.
