Client Overview

In 2022, a rapidly expanding U.S.-based telecom services retailer was experiencing significant back-office challenges. Following a major acquisition that doubled its retail footprint, the company faced escalating labor costs and high attrition driven by remote work transitions and a tight domestic labor market. To meet post-acquisition ROI targets, operational efficiencies—particularly in the back office—were non-negotiable.

The Challenge 
The client’s domestic model for handling first- and second-level back-office functions had become unsustainable. Internal teams were strained, attrition was impacting performance, and legacy workflows could not keep up with the scale required. Without a viable solution, the company risked failing to capitalize on synergies from the acquisition and compromising its long-term growth plans. 

The Arbcentrix Solution 
Arbcentrix, a general business process outsourcing (BPO) provider headquartered in Manila, Philippines, was engaged to redesign and operationalize a scalable back-office support model. Arbcentrix’s core service capabilities include: 

  • Financial Planning & Analysis 

  • Treasury & Compliance Management 

  • General Accounting (G/L, A/R, A/P) 

  • Contract Administration & Loss Prevention 

  • Marketing & IT Support 

  • HR & Operations Management 

Arbcentrix embedded with the client to redesign workflows, centralize processes, and establish a high-performing offshore support team capable of scaling with the business. 

Results – Year 1 (2022–2023)

  • Gross Profit doubled as the business captured operational leverage. 

  • Operating Expenses decreased by 10% YoY, despite doubling the retail footprint. 

  • Workforce Stability improved, with a reduction in turnover and better SLA adherence. 

Continued Partnership & Expansion (2024–2025) 
Following the success of the initial engagement, the client acquired an additional 70 retail locations in 2024. Arbcentrix absorbed the expanded back-office workload seamlessly, leveraging its refined processes and cross-functional teams. 

Performance – 1H 2025 

  • Revenue Growth of 40% achieved through scale and process agility. 

  • Operating Expenses remained flat, preserving margin despite substantial top-line growth. 

Conclusion 
This case demonstrates Arbcentrix’s value as a strategic BPO partner capable of enabling rapid scale, stabilizing operations, and delivering cost-efficiencies that drive profitability. For mid-market companies facing cost pressure and workforce disruption, Arbcentrix provides a repeatable model for back-office transformation and growth enablement.
