what we do

Multilingual MLX

Customer support in 10+ languages from the UK, the Netherlands and South Africa, through one partner.

Multilingual contact centre outsourcing for the UK and Europe

ATM Group’s MLX is a multilingual contact centre service for mid-market and enterprise businesses with customers in the UK and across Europe. We provide voice, email, chat and messaging support in 10+ languages from our centres in the UK (Leicester, Coventry and Stockport), the Netherlands (Sittard and Heerlen) and South Africa (Cape Town), with partner coverage in Turkey. It all runs under one contract, one governance structure and one set of reporting, so you can serve customers in their own language, open new markets and cover peaks without managing a separate vendor in each country.

What should you look for in a multilingual customer support provider?

Look past the length of the language list. What decides whether multilingual support works is:

  • advisors who can resolve problems in the customer’s language, with the same product knowledge as your English-language team;
  • one quality framework applied in every language, so service is consistent from market to market;
  • delivery centres close to the markets and time zones you serve;
  • the ability to scale each language up or down as demand changes;
  • one contract, one reporting line and one accountable team, rather than a vendor in each country.

MLX is built around all five.

Can one partner support UK customers from UK, nearshore European and South African sites?

Yes. UK teams handle the work that benefits from being onshore, our Netherlands sites cover European languages and markets close by, and Cape Town adds English-language capacity at scale. For an entertainment brand we ran a model with 85% of advisors in South Africa and the rest in the UK, while NPS rose from 40 to 66 and first-contact resolution reached 81% (read the case study). The mix is designed around your customers, languages and cost targets, and run under one set of KPIs.

How do you scale across markets without us managing multiple vendors?

By running every language and site as one operation. You have one contract, one governance rhythm and one reporting pack, and adding a language or a market is a change to that operation rather than a new procurement. Multi-skilled advisors and shared knowledge let us move capacity between teams for launches, seasonal peaks and disruption, and a multi-site footprint means one site’s problem doesn’t become your customers’ problem.

How do you keep quality consistent across languages?

With the same standards, measured the same way. Every language team works to one quality framework, calibrated with your team, and coaching, knowledge updates and journey fixes are shared across sites, so an improvement found in one market reaches the others. For lower-volume languages, translation-enabled support keeps service available without the cost of a dedicated team.

Which businesses use a multilingual contact centre?

Any business whose customers don’t all speak English, or that is growing into new European markets. It matters most in travel and hospitality, retail and e-commerce, entertainment and subscriptions, technology and SaaS, and healthcare, all sectors ATM works in. MLX also sits alongside our contact centre outsourcing, sales and retention and AI-enabled CX optimisation services, so one partner can run service, revenue and optimisation in every language.

FAQs

Which languages do you support?
MLX covers 10+ languages across voice, email, chat and messaging. Tell us your markets and we’ll confirm coverage for each language and how it would be staffed.
Can you support customers across Europe under one contract?
Yes. Every language and site runs under one contract, one governance structure and one set of reporting, so you don’t manage a separate vendor in each country.
Do you offer nearshore delivery in Europe?
Yes. Our sites in Sittard and Heerlen in the Netherlands are close to European markets and time zones, alongside our UK centres in Leicester, Coventry and Stockport.
Can you combine UK, European and South African delivery?
Yes. Programmes can blend UK onshore teams, nearshore European teams and capacity from Cape Town, with the mix designed around your customers, languages and cost targets.
How do you handle peaks in different markets?
We plan capacity for known peaks with you, move multi-skilled advisors between teams where languages allow, and share work across sites so one market’s surge doesn’t swamp the rest.
Can we start with one language or one market?
Yes. A single market or language can start as a pilot or “prove to move” programme with agreed KPIs, then grow once the results are proven.
