Webafrica South Africa’s largest Internet Service Provider, delivers high-performance connectivity through Unlimited Fibre and Plug-and-Play LTE solutions for Customers.

Webafrica was founded in 1997 ancient in internet years! We’ve been around the block and we’re here to stay.

Webafrica have dabbled in all sorts of internet ventures, but now focuses on getting South Africans online with Fasterfast 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 was engaged to stand up, scale, and operate a specialised chat-based billing support operation with 110 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 who could:

• Rapidly scale 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.
