transcosmos’s Initiatives on Chat Services
transcosmos launched “Social media operations services” in May, 2011. Now, the company introduces over 100 cases, leveraging Shibuya Social Media Center and its call centers located across Japan. Many businesses demand robust monitoring structure for their social media operations to oversee operational framework, secure governance, manage risk as well as to have coherent marketing activities. At the same time, businesses demand the service providers to actively come up with proposals to keep up with the digitalized consumers. By connecting consumer communication with ads, transcosmos delivers the right message about the clients’ services to broader audiences.

In 2016, transcosmos integrated its three divisions, namely, Digital Marketing, E-Commerce and Contact Center divisions and established “DEC” headquarters, taking the initial letter of each division, in order to accommodate the changes in consumer behaviors in this digital world. transcosmos continues to drive its initiative to make leading-edge proposals and develop new services to deliver one-stop operations ranging from sales to customer support.
