Ziptone – 100% customer contact.

Ziptone is the online professional medium for customer contact professionals. Ziptone is the only independent Dutch trade medium – available in Dutch and English – that is fully focused on the field of customer contact: the interaction between companies/institutions and their customers.

How do companies deal with their customers? What have organizations set up for this? What is thought up in the boardroom, what is done on the work floor and how do you see choices regarding processes, personnel and technology reflected in customer satisfaction?

Ziptone informs and inspires customer service professionals—both on the demand and supply sides of the market—with articles on processes, HR, and technology in customer service and customer contact. On Ziptone, you'll find:

  • daily news
  • interviews
  • analyses
  • columns and opinion pieces
  • customer cases
  • knowledge articles
  • files on various current topics
  • customer contact vacancies
  • an extensive agenda with relevant events
  • the most comprehensive dictionary with technical terms

The trade publication is independent, online only, accessible, critical, and flexible. The English translation of articles is produced via machine translation.

Ziptone is the continuation of online medium Klantcontact .nl, which was acquired in 2019 by Erik Bouwer, the founder of KPS BV. KPS BV is the current publisher of Ziptone.

Ziptone is freely accessible and is powered by the following knowledge partners:


The name Ziptone refers to the sound the ACD to alert a contact center agent that a new customer call is being presented on the headset, also known as a 'beep tone'. Of course, the telephone conversation is not the only form of contact between companies and their customers. Ziptone therefore also stands for the core of doing business: the dialogue between companies and their customers never ends, there is always another conversation.


For the editors, the substantive value of articles and news items is paramount. This also applies to the contributions that are made in collaboration with the knowledge partners. They commit themselves to independent, critical reporting by the editors and help make this possible financially.

Cases (recognizable by the 'case' tag at the end of articles) are drawn up in collaboration with a knowledge partner.

The editorial team uses generative AI where appropriate to support editorial processes. Ziptone does not publish articles generated by generative AI.

Content where the editors have had no influence on the content and/or the quality can be recognized by the mention 'partner content'.
