How does Actigy support ecommerce and marketplaces?

Ecommerce operations are high-volume and spiky: customer questions, orders, returns, listings, and seller or content review all surge around promotions and seasons. Actigy provides trained teams that scale with that demand and run the work inside your helpdesk, order, and catalog systems.

Quality stays consistent through documented playbooks and QA. Customer service follows your tone and policies, order and catalog work follows your rules, and trust & safety review follows your safety policy with escalation. You keep brand and policy ownership; Actigy keeps operations running through the peaks.

Delivery method

How does Actigy launch a BPO team?

From process audit to scaled delivery, with controls matched to your sector.

  1. 01

    Process audit

    We map seller, listing, catalog, order, return, dispute, trust and safety, payout, and support queues across each market.

  2. 02

    SOP & KPI design

    We document platform policy, participant type, authority limit, evidence field, appeal path, service level, and escalation.

  3. 03

    Team selection

    We select operators for the category, language, channel, marketplace tools, peak pattern, and policy complexity.

  4. 04

    Training & knowledge transfer

    Training uses real listings, orders, disputes, seller cases, abuse examples, and approved marketplace decisions.

  5. 05

    Pilot

    The pilot tests normal transactions and policy exceptions before the team receives full seller or customer volume.

  6. 06

    Scale

    We add markets, languages, categories, channels, and peak capacity after quality and policy consistency pass the gate.

  7. 07

    Continuous improvement

    Reviews track seller and buyer contacts, listing defects, disputes, appeal reversals, queue age, and policy gaps.

Visibility

Which marketplace operations reports will you receive?

Outsourcing ecommerce operations should make quality more visible, not less. Actigy reports on the numbers that matter and reviews them with you on a fixed cadence, so the operation stays accountable. The same discipline applies whether you run lean or at enterprise Logistics & Mobility scale.

  • Seller, listing, order, return, dispute, and support quality samples by market
  • Marketplace service levels for response, review, resolution, and appeal routing
  • Participant and policy queues by age, market, category, channel, and exception reason
  • Policy reversals, repeated listing defects, and dispute errors with the approved fix
  • A marketplace operations review before the next promotion or peak period

Engagement model

How is marketplace operations capacity priced?

Actigy prices ecommerce operations on a transparent staffing model tied to scope, volume, and complexity - the cost-to-quality ratio, not an opaque per-transaction markup. Many teams run it alongside technical support outsourcing and qa outsourcing under one delivery team, with a single point of contact.

Start with a pilot

A scoped, paid pilot proves quality and throughput before you commit to full volume.

Staffing-based pricing

You see the team, the roles, and the cost. Capacity flexes up or down with your volume.

You own the documentation

SOPs and process knowledge stay yours, which keeps switching costs low and cuts key-person risk.

Clean exit and transfer

If you wind the engagement down, Actigy returns current documentation and supports knowledge transfer.

Marketplace-specific work

How does ecommerce marketplace BPO differ from retail BPO?

An ecommerce marketplace has two or more participant groups and needs operational rules between them. Suitable work can include seller onboarding support, listing and catalog review, product-data enrichment, order exceptions, returns, dispute intake, trust and safety review, customer support, payout-reconciliation support, and peak-volume administration.

Actigy BPO executes the marketplace's approved rules. The client keeps seller acceptance, listing policy, enforcement outcomes, pricing, refund authority, payout release, fraud decisions, legal decisions, and appeals that need internal judgment.

Retail BPO focuses more on a retailer or consumer brand, store and channel operations, inventory and order support, returns, catalog work, and finance back office. This page remains the owner for ecommerce BPO, marketplace operations outsourcing, seller support, catalog moderation, and marketplace customer operations.
