Why Us

There’s a better way to grow.

It’s a brave new world and our boardrooms and offices are becoming virtual, ever evolving spaces. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other ground-breaking technologies are changing the way we work.

These new frontiers bring incredible opportunities for start-ups looking for an edge, major players eager to remain agile, and many businesses in between. And while international resourcing becomes increasingly popular, as with any bold pursuit, the potential for pitfalls for the under-prepared are plenty. That’s why when you’re ready to access the best talent Southeast Asia has to offer, you need the right team behind you.

Established in 2010 and operated by Australian Directors that live permanently in SEA, Flat Planet is a family-owned, Australian-operated firm. We’re driven by a passion to leverage the potential of this developing region and connect diverse talent to businesses of varied shapes and sizes – balancing economy and quality to produce real value.

Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) at Flat Planet

In the past, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) was synonymous with call centers and basic service functions. Today, the term has evolved to encompass Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO), reflecting the industry’s shift towards services that require highly skilled specialists. We embrace this change by focusing on hiring experts who bring immediate value and productivity enhancements to our clients, aligning with the modern definition of BPO as a provider of specialised, knowledge-based services.
