The Switch

Already outsourcing?
Here's the honest
comparison.

This page is for people who already have an offshore arrangement and suspect it could be better run. The comparison below is managed versus unmanaged — not one country against another.

Side by side

Managed, not just placed.

The usual offshore arrangement puts a person in a seat and leaves the training, supervision and direction to you. The differences below are all versions of the same one — who is accountable for the work after the placement is made.

Amplifi compared with a typical offshore arrangement
Dimension Typical arrangement Amplifi
Engagement model Headcount only Teams, Tasks, or Hybrid Take on capacity the way your workload actually behaves.
Cost behaviour Fixed regardless of volume Fixed, variable, or both Turn a fixed salary into a cost that moves with your volume.
Accountability Offshore agency, or none Australian-led The people setting standards and answering to you are local.
Workplace Often work-from-home Office-based and supervised On-site supervision and a secured network — support your team can rely on.
Training You train them Completed before placement Your local team gets help immediately instead of running an eight-week onboarding.
Handover Placement, then you're on your own Ready, Coached, then Client-Led A documented three-phase handover, not a placement and a hope.
Coverage Business hours Rostered, including weekends No missed leads or opportunities. We're here 24/7, so you don't have to be.
Pricing Quoted after a demo Published where we can Budget the change before you get on a call.

"Typical arrangement" describes the common unmanaged offshore setup — headcount placed, then left to the client to train, supervise and direct. It is deliberately not a comparison between countries: Amplifi delivers from both Fiji and the Philippines, and we match the location to the work. Individual providers vary; ask us for the current comparison against your specific setup.

Setup pricing

$1,950 setup. Published, not negotiated.

Setup fees among the AU/NZ providers specialising in real estate that we benchmark against generally sit between $2,500 and $3,500, so switching from that segment usually means a lower setup cost. No promo code, no sales-floor pressure. The number is on the page, and we will compare first-year totals against your actual provider.

Why switch now

The triggers people don't wait for twice.

01

A Saturday lead nobody answered

Enquiry speed drives conversion, and weekend leads are the easiest ones to lose. Many offshore providers do not roster weekends. Amplifi does.

02

A landlord called twice on a long weekend

Urgent maintenance triaged and dispatched in hours. Not next business day.

03

An 8-week ramp that turned into 14

Pre-placement training on Rex, Agentbox, VaultRE, PropertyMe. Day one, not week eight.

04

Boxing Day backlog

The busiest week of the year, and the inbox doubles. Our rosters cover Christmas to New Year.

05

Consistency you can audit

Office discipline, supervised pods, locked-down devices. Output you can audit.

06

Scale moment

The third or fourth offshore hire is where informal arrangements strain. A supervised office scales with you, and your local team feels the capacity rather than the load.

Switching questions

The 6 questions every switcher asks.

What if I am locked in with my current provider?

Most offshore provider agreements have 30 to 60 day exit clauses. We map the overlap window before you commit so you are not paying both at once.

Will my team know we are switching?

We respect that this is a sensitive conversation. We help you plan the timing and the messaging. The handover usually runs in parallel for two weeks.

How does the Amplifi setup fee compare?

Amplifi setup is $1,950 per placement, published on this page. Among the AU/NZ-facing providers specialising in real estate that we benchmark against, setup fees generally sit between $2,500 and $3,500, so most agencies switching from that segment see a meaningful saving. Some general-purpose offshore providers charge little or no setup fee but recover it through a higher monthly rate, so compare the first-year total rather than either figure alone. We will run that comparison against your actual provider on a 15-minute call.

Do I have to switch all roles at once?

No. Most agencies pilot with a single role, validate the fit over 60 to 90 days, then migrate the rest. We have no minimum headcount.

What is included in the monthly fee?

Recruitment, pre-placement training, office, equipment, supervision, ongoing HR. Everything except your CRM and software seats.

What if the team member is not the right fit?

We replace at no additional setup cost. Same training, same office, new face. The bar is fit, not finger-pointing.

Fifteen minutes. We will walk you through it.

No demo gauntlet. The pricing is on the page. The 15 minutes is to see if Amplifi fits.
