A Legacy of Connection: The HelpSquad Story

2005: The Foundation

2015: The Managed Service Revolution
HelpSquad was launched to solve a specific client need: businesses had the tools but lacked the professional staff to manage them. We introduced 24/7 live chat support to the market and the 6 Squad Structure, an operational model designed to provide accountability and specialized service that traditional call centers could not match.

2020: Global Resilience
As the demand for 24/7 support increased, we expanded our physical footprint. We opened strategic operations hubs in the Philippines and South Africa. This expansion allowed us to provide uninterrupted service and tap into a global talent pool of elite customer service professionals.

2023: Healthcare Expansion
While many of our existing clients were in Healthcare, HelpSquad decided to increase our support of medical and health practices. We became more than just a staffing service by offering fully managed healthcare call center teams including front- and back office services, medical billing, and more.

2025: Innovation and Excellence
Today, HelpSquad is recognized as a Top 15 Global Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) company by Clutch. We continue to evolve by integrating our proprietary AI tools into our workflows. By combining human empathy with AI-powered platforms, we provide a level of precision and efficiency that remains unmatched in the industry.
