In 2025, call centers face mounting pressure to deliver high-quality customer experiences while keeping costs lean and operations flexible. Traditional office leasing and infrastructure setups can be expensive and slow to implement. Seat leasing has emerged as a cost-efficient, scalable alternative—and providers like KuddleandCo are making it easier than ever to adopt. But is it the right move for your call center? Let’s break down the numbers, benefits, and considerations so you can decide with confidence.
What Is Seat Leasing in a Call Center Context?
Seat leasing means renting fully equipped workstations—complete with computers, headsets, internet connectivity, and IT support—within a provider’s facility. Unlike building your own office, you gain immediate access to infrastructure without long-term capital expenditure.
KuddleandCo specializes in this model, offering flexible arrangements that range from a few seats for small teams to hundreds for enterprise-scale operations.
