On-Demand Billing Support at Scale for Webafrica

Overview

Webafrica — South Africa's largest Internet Service Provider — delivers high-performance connectivity through Unlimited Fibre and Plug-and-Play LTE solutions. Webafrica focuses on getting South Africans online with faster internet and delivering a great experience once they're there.

Executive Summary

Webafrica required rapid, high-volume on-demand billing support to manage a critical monthly billing run across multiple products, payment methods, and customer segments.

CXG engaged to stand up, scale, and operate a specialised chat-based billing support operation with 120 trained chat agents across an orchestrated 7 to 9 day billing window.

The result: seamless billing execution, protected customer experience, and zero disruption during one of the most sensitive operational periods for a high-growth ISP.

The Challenge

Billing runs for a national ISP introduce heightened customer anxiety, increased contact volumes, and zero tolerance for error. Webafrica needed a partner that could:

• Rapidly provide scale for billing-skilled chat agents
• Support multiple billing processes (VR, Debit Orders, Suspensions, Premium extractions)
• Operate extended hours across staggered schedules
• Maintain accuracy, empathy, and speed during peak billing pressure
• Flex capacity day-by-day as workloads shifted

Failure would have meant increased churn, reputational damage, and billing escalations.

The CXG Solution

CXG deployed a fully managed, on-demand chat workforce purpose-built for billing operations.

• 120 billing-trained chat agents — dedicated billing skillset focus
• Real-time workforce planning and intraday optimisation
• Centralised QA, escalation handling, and live performance monitoring
