What Teledesk Group does

Teledesk Group is a Belgian business process outsourcing (BPO) provider specialized in the financial and insurance sector, founded in 1997 and headquartered in Ieper with additional offices in Kortrijk and Temse. The company operates an integrated service stack around insurance operations: Claims Management (A-to-Z claims processing), Assistance (24/7 telephone support in Dutch, French and English), a curated Network of approximately 130 approved professional repairers across Belgium, Third Party Administration (TPA) back-office services, auto Expertise inspections, and Fleet Services for leasing companies. A wholly-owned sub-brand, Mindsetting, provides insurance-sector marketing and communications. Operationally, Teledesk embeds dedicated teams inside clients' own management software and operates dedicated overflow and after-hours phone lines, supported by PCP- and FSMA-certified staff.

Teledesk generates revenue through three primary streams: managed-service BPO contracts with insurers, brokers, leasing companies and businesses; TPA back-office work billed on agreed hours; and a Virtual Employee offering priced at a fixed fee per completed task. Customers include insurance carriers and brokers such as DELA (where Teledesk handles 21% of death notifications) and TVM Belgium, leasing companies running daily fleet support at 150-200 calls per day, and mid-market brokers. The platform processes 240,000+ inbound calls annually, 20,000+ claims files, and coordinates ~60,000 repairs annually; the TPA business grew 170% in 2023.

In 2026, clearXperts (a project-sourcing firm with ~300 consultants across Finance, HR, Marketing and Sales Support) acquired a majority stake, with growth partner Think2Act facilitating the deal; founder Geert Verhaeghe retired, Ward Alleman became CEO, and existing management retained a minority stake and operational control. The company remains privately held and operates exclusively in Belgium.
