About US

Our Vision

We envision Absolute Service, Inc. to be a premier service organization in the publishing industry, poised to be a leader in providing superior service of the highest quality at affordable prices.

Our Mission

We will sustain and surpass the superior service and high quality work that we provide while we set ourselves to create new customer relationships and offer new services.

With social accountability in mind, we will welcome new opportunities for developing new skills, for implementing new technologies, and for creating new paths.

Our Values

Responsibility — leadership commands greater responsibility. We accept accountability in every decision we make. We are driven to make our jobs right the first time and resolve our errors, however rare, the soonest possible time.

Dependability — we value what our customers say. We are keen in keeping our promise to give our customers the quality they need, when they need it, and at a lower cost.

Customer satisfaction — customer satisfaction is our primary goal. We strive to meet and even surpass their expectations. We take the extra effort to consider all our customers' specifications and details. We keep an open line of communication among our customers and value their suggestions and opinions.

Responsiveness — we understand that the business market is always changing and this poses economic threats to almost everyone. We therefore concentrate on reducing our cost to be able to pass our savings to our customers by lowering our prices.

Commitment — we stay committed to every principle and ideals that we uphold. We lead by example and will never be content until our customers are.

Our Culture

Opportunities for all — we are non-discriminating. We provide job opportunities to all who are willing to grow with us regardless of age, sexual orientation, and physical capacity.

Solution-based principle — conflicts arise everywhere, may it be in the work process, employee relations, and even management decisions. We always face our problems head on. Nothing is hidden; nothing is dismissed until the appropriate solution has been applied.

Continuous employment — it has never been our practice to reduce our workforce during slack periods and hire temporary manpower during peak periods. Our associates are cross-trained in a variety of areas and this enables them to switch to other types of work during light workloads in their original assignments.

Teamwork — we pursue a unified goal; that is, providing satisfaction to both our internal and external customers. Our processes are designed to make interrelated jobs easy and convenient. We treat our customers as partners as we give them substantive control over processes.

Civic and social responsibility — we accept the idea that we have a responsibility to other organizations and the public as well. We are a member of the Subic Bay Freeport Chamber of Commerce. Through this, we are able to establish networks and relationships; participate in various civic programs and learn from best practices.

Our Core Competence

We have the ability to provide a wide range of services catering the diverse needs of our customers. We provide service not only with the highest levels of quality, accuracy, and efficiency but with customer satisfaction as our primary consideration.

Our Competitive Advantage

Round-the-clock service — we operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We take advantage of the opportunities brought about by time-zone differences. Our customer can send jobs at the end of their business day and the job is done and completed according to specifications when they come to work in the morning.

English proficiency — our associates have English as their second language. They are able to understand and follow instructions in English with ease. Communication would never be a problem since most of them are proficient both orally and in writing.

Reasonable labor cost — many of our competitors in the Asian region offer a cheaper labor cost to customers abroad but with setbacks in communication, quality, and overall expertise. These setbacks add cost and consume the customers' time and budget. With us, customers get their money's worth without going over budget.

Managerial expertise — our management has continuously taken measures to provide our customers with cost-effective processes, competitive prices, flexible schedules, on-time delivery, and expertise in fields relevant to providing absolute service.

Our Capacity

Internet bandwidth — we use the Internet as an alternative channel to streamline communication with our customers and facilitate speedy receipt and transfer of jobs. We have a number of servers, leased lines totaling 7 MBPS bandwidth that enable file uploads and downloads and Internet access convenient.

Jobs' availability — jobs are sent by our customers via Internet connection with our FTP server, through e-mail attachments, or courier shipping.

Quick response — customers are readily notified for any missing or unreadable pages on the jobs sent and queried on questionable materials or instructions. In page makeup, sample pages are created according to customer specifications and sent to customers for approval before a job is continued.

Strict internal control — finished jobs go through rigorous quality control. Discrepancies are noted and revisions made. Our quality control specialists make sure that the final form of every job is in accordance with the instructions and specifications of the customers before sent back.

Faster order fulfillment — in order to shorten the cycle time of completing a job, associates tasked to do the jobs are categorized depending on the degree of difficulty of the jobs. New jobs are discussed to minimize errors and production time. Dynamic production lines are created tailored specifically to jobs to increase availability of resources and quick turn-around of jobs.

On-the-dot schedules — turnaround schedules of jobs are strictly monitored and resources dynamically allocated to make sure that the original schedules are never deviated upon.

Our Employees

We maintain a pool of hardworking, dedicated, efficient and skilled workers. Almost all of our associates are college graduates. Extensive IQ exams, proofreading, speed test, and proficiency tests must first be passed before anyone can join us.

Applicants admitted for employment go through a six-month apprenticeship that includes orientation, data entry/keyboarding; depending on capabilities, they are further trained on page lay-out, artwork illustration and data conversion before they are regularized.

All our associates are computer literate and are capable to handle various programs used in the process. Most are proficient in the English language so communication with customers will never be a problem. A monthly measure of productivity, which is the basis of their evaluation and productivity bonus, encourage them to hone their skills further.
