Managing a translation agency. What does your office need?
Skillful management of the company's work in terms of service delivery and administration is the basis for success. Competition is not asleep and you still need to be one step ahead to meet the demands of the market. Customers have plenty to choose from, so what counts is the time of execution of the order and the substantive quality. The situation is similar in the translation services industry. What does your office need to speed up and streamline the project implementation process at every stage of its execution?
Language translation isn't everything
An army of experienced translators friendly to the office is undoubtedly a strong asset of your company. However, the office also includes bills, customer searches, valuations, database building, and a whole bunch of other back-up activities. Every project manager is well aware of this.
It is difficult to appoint a specialist for every task. You would have to significantly increase the prices of your services, and in an era of ruthless dumping, the chances of this happening are poor. Even if you offer the highest quality services, your customers will go to the competition. Continuous improvisation won't work either. Re-executing the same procedures for similar orders is a waste of time.
Automation of operations
All your office needs is an integrated control system. Automation of design processes will save time and money, and instead of a few, it will save you a dozen or so orders in a specific time. Modern technology makes it possible to manage each stage of a project from a single virtual platform. XTRF is such a program, created especially for the management of a translation agency.
