Remplo enables small business owners and entrepreneurs to outsource tasks to their team of virtual assistants. The company has a large team of hand-picked virtual assistants (primarily based in Sri Lanka) with a range of skills to meet their clients’ needs.
About Remplo
Remplo have been providing virtual assistant services since 2006.
Being in the virtual assistant space for that long and still going strong is testament to a good reputation and a lot of satisfied clients. The company is headed up by Roshana Mallawaarachchi, and their target customers are small businesses and entrepreneurs.
They claim to have worked with over 1,000 clients, and saved them time by having their skilled virtual assistants handle their tasks at a cost effective and competitive rate.
Roshana pointed out that they have, “minimized issues associated in working with staff in autonomous and distant locations by keeping the contractors accountable and productive no matter where they are working from in the world.” That’s a mouthful, right?
He added that their hiring process utilizes a 10-step process designed by Richard Branson’s former executive assistant.
Remplo’s assistants are located in Sri Lanka, with sales offices in Australia and the UK.
Services
The company provides clients with VAs ready to tackle any day-to-day tasks a business owner would look to outsource. They do however group their virtual assistants’ skill sets into six categories as follows:
- Admin and Organizing
- Writing
- Marketing and Social Media
- Research
- Sales
- Medical Transcription
If your needs fall under any of the categories above, or you just have routine tasks you want to outsource, provide Remplo with as much detail as possible. The more detail you provide upfront, the better the communication and understanding is going forward.
One potential customer service hiccup: their “live chat” widget said they were online (“We are here!”), but after several minutes of no response to my message, it said no agents were available.
Plans and Pricing
Remplo has three easy to understand pricing plans.
Their Startup Plan costs $120. For this you get 20 hours of VA time @$6/hr to be used within one year.
Their Small Business Plan costs $400 for 80 hours of time, giving you a reduced hourly rate of $5/hr.
Their Dedicated Plan is $640 for 160 hours of time or $4/hr.
$640 for a full-time dedicated assistant is among the lowest rate I’ve seen. (Most other overseas virtual assistant companies charge in the $1000 per month range.) One reason for this is the lower overhead; Remplo assistants work from their home offices instead of from a dedicated call center-type cubicle farm.
As is common, the more hours you pay for upfront the better hourly rate you secure. All of their plans comes with a free consultation and setup to familiarize yourself with the company, and you can choose to have a dedicated virtual assistant.
There are no long-term contracts and each plan comes with a 30-day money back guarantee.
Remplo Alternatives
Among Remplo’s top competitors are companies like My Tasker and TaskBullet, but you’ll pay a slightly higher hourly rate at either of those.
Remplo has been in business for a long time and they do have a lot of experience in the virtual assistant space which goes a long way. I always recommend doing some due diligence and making contact with companies to see how they fit with your needs.
