Effivity is pleased to welcome its newest subscriber, a US-based linguists service provider, to its global family. The translation service provider dealt with stringent industry regulations for quality management, customer excellence, and documentation control.
They have been serving clients for many years and are renowned for their commitment to customer needs, linguistic expertise, and accurate results. To uphold their work standards and further enhance their operational workflow, the company partnered with Effivity to implement its quality management system software to streamline business operations.
About the Texas-based Company
Translation service providers are tasked with maintaining high levels of accuracy, consistency, and quality, which requires great attention to detail and focus on compliance requirements.
The Texas-based company faced multiple challenges managing client documents, tracking project progress, and ensuring compliance with international quality standards. Managing all these aspects was difficult without a centralized system, leading to inefficiencies, missed deadlines, and poor communication.
With a global presence, the company could not afford inefficiencies and was looking for compliance software to manage its complicated document flow and comply with ISO standards. After examining multiple software solutions, Effivity Quality Management software emerged as the best fit for improving its document control and managing compliance requirements.
What Went Wrong?
Before adopting Effivity QMS software, a manual approach to client documentation, audit management, and internal reviews affected the company’s growth and profitability. One of the biggest hurdles was managing the increasing documentation associated with client projects. A lack of a centralized system made it difficult to locate the latest versions of documents, leading to delays and inaccuracies.
The company also relied on fragmented operational processes involving spreadsheets, emails, and manual tracking systems. This not only slowed down operations but also posed significant risks to data accuracy and security, especially when handling client requests.
Further, maintaining compliance with industry regulations and quality standards. The translation industry, particularly in sectors like legal and medical translations, is subject to strict regulations for confidentiality and accuracy.
The company found it difficult to keep track of regulatory updates and ensure that its processes met evolving standards. As a result, planning audits, communicating audit plans, and addressing audit findings were becoming tedious, too.
However, Effivity’s compliance management tools made it easier to navigate these challenges.
