Nearshore transition: operational efficiency and cost reduction
We migrated a legal lead generation and intake operation from an in-house model in Oklahoma, USA, to a nearshore setup in Mexico. The move was implemented to optimize costs, improve operational efficiency, and build a more scalable structure, while maintaining service continuity and lead quality throughout.
Migrate without losing closings or lead quality
The client needed to move its operation to a more efficient and cost-effective model while maintaining service continuity during the transition. The challenge was to complete the ramp-up within the expected timeframe, train the team on the legal intake process, sustain closings despite turnover, and ensure that leads sent to the law firms met quality and eligibility criteria. The expectation was to prove that a nearshore model could achieve comparable or better results than the in-house setup, with a significantly lower cost structure.
Nearshore cell specialized in legal lead generation and intake
Wepartner deployed a specialized nearshore cell from Cancún, trained to contact records, gather key information, validate initial criteria, confirm interest, and schedule appointments with law firms. We developed a structured process of training, nesting, continuous coaching, and KPI monitoring, stabilizing the operation and advancing COGs reduction without affecting business continuity.
Operational performance: Results vs. Baseline
| KPI | Baseline | Result | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operational Ramp-Up Time | Expected ramp-up | 90 days | Operation stabilized |
| COGs Reduction | Expected timeframe | Sustained reduction | Lower cost per operation |
| Continuity of closings | Turnover risk | Closings were maintained | Business continuity |
| Service quality | Leads sent to firms | Positive indicators | Quality validated |
| Cost efficiency | In-house operation Oklahoma | −76% operating cost | Structural savings |
