Tren Maya is a significant infrastructure project in Mexico, aiming to develop sustainable tourism along the Yucatan Peninsula’s Maya Train route. The project spans 1,525 kilometers and includes 30 train stations, boosting economic growth and connectivity in the region. One of its critical components is efficient customer service, which led to the recent call center licitation.

Call Center Auction Details

On Monday, the military company named Tren Maya declared the public auction for a new call center desiert due to higher-than-expected offers from the three participating firms: B Drive It, Infocredit, and TyT Logística y Servicios.

The evaluation also mentioned that Centro de Contacto y Conocimiento and Grupo Vanguardia en Información y Conocimiento failed to meet the technical evaluation requirements.
