São Paulo, May 13, 2021 – Recently the back-office automation service offer has gained relevance in the portfolio of Atento, a leading company in Customer Relationship Management and process outsourcing services (CRM/BPO) in Latin America, and one of the five largest providers worldwide. To meet the challenges of transforming its customers, especially at a time when companies around the world are undergoing a huge investment in digital tools, driven by the Covid-19 Pandemic, Atento has a range of next-generation services, including full back-office automation, that streamlines tasks’ processing that took days to be completed in just minutes, using AI throughout the process, while reducing errors.
In Brazil, the company is supported by Interfile, the leader of BPO services and solutions in the country, with 30 years of expertise, which was acquired by Atento in 2019 and now undergoing a restructuring. The goal, in addition to creating greater synergy with the other companies within the group, is to expand the BPO services offering across all regions in which Atento operates, focusing on several industries: finance, health, insurance, education, and the born-digital. The back-office services include payroll, credit management, mortgage loans, car loans, legal BPO, checking accounts, fraud prevention, medical bills reimbursement, document management, among others. All executed by applying different technologies: RPA, OCR, ICR, BRICS, Facial Recognition, Semantic Motor, and Artificial Intelligence, for the delivery of a more complete and 100% automated back-office experience for its customers.
To accomplish this, Atento appointed Marcelo Alves, who has been promoted from VP of Operational Excellence and Shared Services of Atento Brasil to Interfile’s General Director. And to meet this challenge, Marcelo will have the support of André Luiz Gomes Carneiro as Chief Operating Officer, Edilaine Alves de Almeida, as Commercial Director, and Andre Luis Vedolin, as IT Superintendent of TI, who are all in new roles within the company.
The company will also continue to invest in innovations and improvement of automation solutions, bringing more agility and efficiency to Atento’s broad portfolio. “My main challenge at this time for Interfile is to integrate even more its portfolio of solutions for Atento’s current customers, without losing sight of new customers’ acquisition for the group worldwide”, says Marcelo Alves.
According to Alves, one of the initiatives is the sponsorship of the start-up NeuralMind, which is part of Atento Brasil’s start-up acceleration program, Atento Next. NeuralMind focuses on helping companies increase their back-office processes productivity through scanning and automation, a purpose that goes fully aligned with Interfile’s value offering. “We apply state-of-the-art technology in rear processes, bringing more security, agility, and efficiency,” adds the executive.
In 2020, the company generated revenues 23% higher than the previous year and, currently, there are 2,300 employees distributed in 24 cities across the country, more than 70% working from home. “The whole team is very excited. We are ready to bring all our expertise to serve our clients and their customers, reinforcing our commitment to bring more efficiency to business processes”, celebrates Interfile’s General Director when making comments about the great annual results, despite the entire scenario experienced by the market and society in 2020.
According to Dimitrius Oliveira, Atento Brasil’s President, Interfile’s operations contributed to exponentially expand Atento’s expertise in Back-office processes. “Since Interfile’s arrival, our BPO offering has reached another level. Today, we can integrate technological resources to optimize the negotiations and deliver solutions, without a doubt, more complete to our customers. Currently, we own 100% of the leading national company in the segment and we are moving to expand even further in the market,” Oliveira says.
For Carlos López-Abadia, Atento’s CEO, Interfile’s performance has been instrumental in attracting new businesses in the BPO sector. “The use of disruptive technologies such as AI, analytics, and automation can and should be used for successful management and contact with consumers, and Interfile’s entire know-how, acquired over these 30 years of existence, contributes to delivering the best relationship journey, whether in the back or front office. With the current restructuring, we hope to bring even more synergy within the group and expand our Next Generation Services offer, with high added value, for all our customers”, highlights López-Abadía
