A Community Service and A Valuable Employer Resource
For over 70 years, UNICOR / Federal Prison Industries has been operating factories and employing inmates in America's correctional institutions. Operating under a Department of Justice mandate to employ inmates in productive work, it is a self sustaining public corporation that receives no tax dollars.
After years of providing quality goods and services to federal agencies, UNICOR now has the authority to partner with private sector firms who are sending the work offshore, or in lieu of sending the work offshore. Companies expanding into new areas of business can also take advantage of UNICOR's unique outsourcing alternative. With more and more contact center work being outsourced, UNICOR can provide contact center support at a highly competitive rate, and do it right here in the USA.
Imagine... All the benefits of domestic outsourcing at offshore prices. It's the best kept secret in outsourcing!

A Commitment to Quality and Security
UNICOR takes additional steps to insure that inmates can safely meet the security needs of any contact center client. Inmates are not permitted to make calls to private citizens in their homes, and UNICOR carefully reviews potential inbound consumer call work to assure everyone involved that inmates will not have access to personal information. We will not accept any work if there is any question that we can meet all parties' security concerns.
The Best Kept Secret in Outsourcing
Whether you need outbound B2B or inbound contact center support, UNICOR believes that we can be the ideal partner. We have the experience, we have the quality control, we have the cost-effective labor pool, and we have the facilities nationwide to offer a highly competitive alternative to offshore outsourcing.
Let's face it, outsourcing offshore can be a hassle. There are language barriers, varying monetary exchange rates, time differences, and simply visiting your contact center can involve a transoceanic flight. When you outsource with UNICOR, your contact center is located in the United States, and those issues disappear. Your company will enjoy all the benefits of a domestic operation, with the cost savings of going offshore. When you partner with UNICOR, your company is providing valuable job skills to federal inmates while it repatriates jobs back from overseas.
It's truly a "win-win" situation for all involved. Contact us today and find out how UNICOR can become your #1 Contact Center outsourcer.
