Our Company History
Based in St. Louis, Missouri, Customer Direct provides multichannel, multilingual live agent reservations, customer care, technical, and back-office operations support. We partner with leading companies throughout the U.S. and around the world, particularly in the hospitality, publishing, healthcare, IT, and e-commerce industries.
Customer Direct’s founders, Robert “Bob” Nolan and his son, Robert “Rob” Jr., have a history of building and growing successful St. Louis-based companies. After their previous business, SCS/Compute, was acquired in 1996 by Thomson Financial (now Thomson Reuters), the two researched the marketplace to identify opportunities where their extensive experience and expertise in strategy, technology, and customer focus could help bridge a gap and deliver a much-needed service. One thing they knew was that they wanted to keep the business in St. Louis.
What started in 1997 as an idea to deliver best-in-class, competitively-priced contact center services, has since grown into a leading outsourced contact center partner located in Maryland Heights, Missouri. In 2018, we expanded our local work-from-home program into a vast US-based program that offers significant employee benefits, great access to a larger labor market, and virtually unlimited capacity. Around the same time, we also expanded our services with nearshore operations to provide additional disaster recovery support, a larger bilingual labor market and additional on-site capacity with flexible pricing.
