For many companies in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, outsourcing has become a strategic way to overcome labor shortages, scale quickly, and stay competitive in a digital-first economy.

Kosovo is now emerging as a preferred nearshore destination for business process outsourcing (BPO), especially for German-speaking companies that need customer service excellence and operational flexibility.

A Workforce Fluent in German Language and Culture

Kosovo offers a unique advantage in the outsourcing landscape: a large number of professionals who speak German at a high level.

Historical ties, strong migration patterns, and an active diaspora in Germany have created a workforce with both language fluency and cultural familiarity.

Many agents have lived, studied, or worked in German-speaking countries, which makes them well-prepared to deliver customer support that feels natural to end clients.

The sector is also supported by demographics. More than half of Kosovo’s population is under 30, and over 80 percent of call center employees are in this age range.

This creates a motivated, adaptable, and tech-savvy talent pool ready to support businesses in customer communication, sales, and back-office services.

Location, Time Zone, and Accessibility

For companies in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, location matters. Kosovo operates on Central European Time, ensuring perfect alignment with business hours across the DACH region.

Travel is straightforward as well. A direct flight from Berlin to Pristina takes less than three hours, making in-person visits and team integration easy and cost-effective.

Another advantage is the use of the euro as the official currency. For European companies, this eliminates the complexity of exchange rate fluctuations and simplifies financial transactions.

Cost Advantages Without Loss of Quality

Labor costs in Kosovo remain highly competitive compared to Western Europe. Due to high demand, experienced German-speaking agents command a salary premium compared to their English-speaking counterparts.

This allows companies to reduce operating costs by up to 50 percent while still ensuring quality.

The presence of multinational companies like Vodafone, DHL, Sutherland, and Teleperformance in Kosovo’s outsourcing sector demonstrates that cost savings do not come at the expense of professionalism or service quality.

This mature ecosystem provides a foundation of reliability. Nexxus Solutions builds on this foundation, leveraging the extensive industry experience of our parent company, BWS Solutions, which has been a trusted partner to renowned companies like Bosch, Sachsen Energie, and TE Connectivity since 2017.

Infrastructure and Digital Readiness

Kosovo has one of the highest internet penetration rates in Europe, at about 96 percent. Average household connections reach 20 Mbps download and 6 Mbps upload, ensuring stable and reliable digital communication.

On average, Kosovars spend over three hours online daily, a habit that naturally aligns with customer service, online support, and omnichannel communication needs.

The country’s BPO and ICT sectors are growing steadily, supported by government incentives and foreign investment.

Around 70 percent of employees working in ICT and communication services are involved in outsourcing or related professional services. This growing ecosystem has established Kosovo as a serious player in the global outsourcing market.

Why This Matters for German-Speaking Businesses

Kosovo’s strengths combine to address the exact challenges companies in the DACH region face:

• A shortage of German-speaking customer service professionals
• Rising labor costs and margin pressure
• The need for scalability during seasonal peaks or new product launches
• Demands for digital-first, omnichannel support
• A need for reliable compliance and GDPR-aligned operations

By outsourcing to Kosovo, German-speaking firms gain not just lower costs, but also cultural alignment, scalable resources, and a motivated workforce that can provide measurable improvements in customer satisfaction.
