About Expivia

Family-run. Operator-led.
Nobody else like us.

Not private equity. Not a holding company portfolio brand. A contact center built by people who have spent their careers on the floor.

Our Story

Started in 2011 with 60 seats and a belief.

Expivia was born from a simple idea: build the contact center we would want to hire. No offshoring. No hidden fees. No layers of bureaucracy between the client and the people doing the work.

We started with 60 seats in Erie, Pennsylvania. Today we operate 600+. The growth came from results, not marketing spend. Clients stayed because the quality was real. And they told other people.

In 2016 we were named Erie Startup of the Year. Since then we have grown into one of the most respected independent contact centers in the country. We built OttoQA, our own AI quality assurance platform, because nothing on the market scored 100% of calls. NICE invited us onto their CXone Executive Council because we know the platform better than any other BPO.

We are still family-run. Still operator-led. Still in Erie. Still 100% USA.

What Makes Us Different

Operators, not executives.

Family-run. Not PE-backed.

Our leadership team has spent their careers in the contact center. On the floor. In the queue. Inside the systems. That perspective shapes everything.

We built our own AI.

OttoQA is our proprietary QA platform. We did not buy software. We built it because nothing on the market did what we needed.

Training team together 10+ years.

Our people stay. That is not a talking point. It is the result of building a culture around attitude and effort instead of quotas and churn.

NICE CXone Executive Council.

The only BPO invited to help shape the platform the industry runs on. We do not just use CXone. We help build it.

There is a right way to run a contact center. And it is worth fighting for.

That is why Expivia exists.
