Why Corpshore Kenya
East Africa's #2 ranked BPO company. Five reasons clients from the UK, Canada, the US, Australia and across East Africa choose us.
Multilingual at scale: 12 languages across East Africa
Most BPO providers in East Africa support English and Kiswahili. Corpshore Kenya supports 12 languages including Kikuyu, Luo, Kamba, Kalenjin dialects, Somali, Luganda, Kinyarwanda, Kirundi, French and Arabic. Every agent's language profile is tested at B2, C1 or C2 level.
This matters commercially. A farmer helpline that cannot speak Kalenjin loses 24% of its target audience before the first call connects. A bank IVR in English only creates compliance risk with CBK's fair treatment of customers guidance.
Remote-first across all 47 counties
Nairobi has 60% of Kenya's BPO talent and 100% of its traffic. A Nairobi-only operation is both more expensive and geographically brittle. Corpshore Kenya sources agents from every county.
This creates a cost and continuity advantage. A Kisumu-based Luo-speaking agent costs less and brings greater cultural accuracy than an equivalent in Nairobi.
Kenya DPA 2019 compliant from day one
The Kenya Data Protection Act 2019 is enforceable. The ODPC has issued enforcement orders. Corpshore Kenya executes a Data Processing Agreement with every client before any processing begins.
For clients in financial services, we also apply CBK customer service frameworks. Compliance is built into onboarding, not bolted on afterwards.
DPA executed for every engagement. ODPC-aligned data processing frameworks.
CBK customer service guidelines and Mobile Payment Services Guidelines applied to all financial service engagements.
All agents employed under the Employment Act 2007. NHIF, NSSF, Housing Levy and PAYE from month one.
Measurable outcomes, not activity reports
Corpshore Kenya's average data quality score is 97.9%, against an industry standard of 95%. Our banking client improved CSAT from 61% to 89% in 6 months.
Every engagement is governed by an SLA with defined KPIs tied to your business outcome: CSAT, first-contact resolution, data quality scores, compliance rates and throughput targets.
Unit economics that work at scale
A customer service agent in Nairobi costs a fraction of the equivalent in London, New York or Sydney. Equivalent English proficiency, similar time-zone overlap with Western Europe, similar educational profile. The cost gap is structural, not cyclical.
