The Customer
SumUp is a global mobile point-of-sale leader with more than 14 sites and over 2,000 employees. Before 2020, the organisation operated primarily from physical offices. But when lockdowns were announced worldwide, SumUp needed to pivot — immediately.
The Challenge
The business had to maintain normal operations while shifting its entire workforce to a remote model. This required intuitive, reliable technology that would keep internal teams aligned and ensure merchants received the support they needed.
The Solution
Using a Five9 cloud contact centre solution, SumUp empowered its teams to continue working seamlessly from home.
The system enabled:
- Automatic outbound calling to inform merchants of support options
- Rapid deployment of home-working capabilities
- Clear troubleshooting tools and guidelines for remote operations
With these tools in place, SumUp didn’t just maintain service, they elevated it.
The Impact
- 2,000 Employees Instantly Able to Work from Home: The organisation pivoted in record time while maintaining business continuity globally.
- Clear Communication for Customers During Uncertainty: Merchants received timely, proactive outreach about how SumUp could support their business throughout the pandemic.
- Thriving in the New World of Work: With agile, cloud-driven capabilities in place, SumUp strengthened its resilience and adapted confidently to long-term hybrid and remote working models.
