              Contract Win with Vaco

CloudCall (AIM: CALL), the integrated communications company that provides unified communications and contact centre software that integrates with Customer Relationship Management ("CRM") platforms, are pleased to announce a major contract win with Vaco.

Vaco is a global talent & solutions firm with annual revenues of more than $750 million. The three-year contract will see CloudCall providing its integrated telephony service to Vaco's thousand plus employees in quarterly tranches over the coming 18 months. The extended implementation period for this contract means that the resulting revenues will be spread throughout 2020 and into 2021.

After considerable market research, Vaco selected CloudCall, because of its deep integration with the Bullhorn platform, which supports Vaco's technological goals of improved efficiency to drive growth and unify their US and Canadian offices with a single service.

Whilst still early into the FY20 financial year, the Vaco contract is an important win for the Group, demonstrating the strength of CloudCall's offering in the staffing sector, and the Board remains confident in achieving its FY20 outlook.

Simon Cleaver, CloudCall CEO, commented:

"I'm delighted that this large, well respected and forward-looking talent company selected CloudCall. It's a considerable testament to the quality of our technology, service and the depth of our integration. We very much look forward to working with Vaco, together with our partner Bullhorn, to collectively support the firm achieve its business goals and facilitate growth." 

Phil Noe, Vaco CIO, added:

"CloudCall will help unify our national offices and its deep connectivity with our Bullhorn platform will provide us with enhanced global business intelligence that will better serve our clients. The powerful platform is incredibly easy to use, and we have no doubt that it will increase productivity across our client base."  

Mike Restivo, Chief Revenue Officer at Bullhorn, said 

"Running an efficient and profitable staffing business means seamless communications and collaboration. The Bullhorn integration with CloudCall is a full-service tool that breaks down barriers to efficiency for recruiters and empowers them to communicate more efficiently both internally and with candidates, improving the quality and value of their interactions. We know that our enterprise customers live in Bullhorn; the valuable data captured by CloudCall and stored inside Bullhorn allows Vaco leadership to have unrivalled insight about the inner workings of their recruiters and their daily business operations. This insight helps them to make better decisions and drive their business to even greater heights."
