About us

Why we exist and how we work

World-class human customer service. We exist because outsourced customer service was due for renewal: no transparency, vague reporting, and no idea where your money goes.

Our secret sauce

"We started Backbone because we were fed up with competitors hiding the truth. No transparency, vague reporting, and unclear invoices. Businesses deserve better: clear insights, honest pricing, and human customer service you can build on. That's why we started Backbone. To set a new standard."
Jeffrey & Dylan · founders

Our standards

Speed, scale, and style

Powered by the engine behind excellence.

Trust

Complete transparency

Always have real-time insights into ticket volumes, performance, hours worked, and clear, accurate billing. No surprises, just control.

Innovation

Human first, AI where it helps

AI resolves routine tickets autonomously. Our experienced agents focus on the complex, sensitive conversations where human judgment makes the difference.

Knowledge

Proven expertise

With 6+ years of experience as Zendesk professionals and e-commerce operators, we've built and scaled Shopify customer service operations for 40+ clients.

The team

More than colleagues

Our team of twenty agents works from Albania, Suriname and the Netherlands, led by our COO Redona. We train together, review every week, and celebrate the wins together too. Your customers feel that culture in every reply.

Each team member brings their own strengths, expertise, and energy. That makes every day a chance to raise the bar.
