Enabling 2,000 employees to work remotely overnight - without disruption

A global fintech organisation thrived through rapid change with agile cloud technology supporting staff and customers.
Customer story

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.
