Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) is a Fortune 500 company managing commercial real estate and facilities for the world's most prestigious organizations, including Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan. Operating 24/7 contact centers across three continents in six languages, JLL handles everything from emergency response to facility operations for thousands of properties worldwide.
The Challenge: When Multiple Carriers Create "Budget Nightmares"
On any given day, JLL works through a number of calls of varying levels of urgency. Voice calls are absolutely mission-critical. Previously, IT had to navigate a maze of questions to ensure calls were correctly routed. Which carrier handles that location? Is it the same provider that serves the building's main operations? Can they even route the call properly, given regional restrictions?
This was the daily complexity for JLL's global operations team managing a patchwork of regional voice providers that included:
Operational Chaos
Multiple Regional Carriers
- Different providers for the Philippines, China, Australia, and North America
- Each has separate contracts, billing, and support processes
Coverage Gaps and Limitations
- Inability to get numbers in certain countries
- Weeks-long provisioning delays impacted client onboarding and service
- Geopolitical calling restrictions between regions
Operational Inefficiency
- Two-week training programs for new agents
- Inconsistent quality across regions
- Complex troubleshooting requiring carrier-specific expertise
- Budget strain from managing multiple vendor relationships
The Solution: One Platform for 300+ Global Clients
In 2016, JLL made a strategic decision: consolidate all regional carriers under AVOXI's global platform while building the foundation for AI-powered operations that could scale with their growth.
The Vision: One provider. Global coverage. Intelligent integrations. Supporting 300+ enterprise clients seamlessly.
