In an ocean of ever-growing language services corporations, you may find your best partner to be a boutique translation company. In this blog post, we’ll discuss what a boutique translation company is and what benefits it could offer you.
What’s a boutique company?
Is “boutique company” just a fancy word for “small business”? Well, not exactly. Being boutique comprises more than just size. A boutique company provides customized services, in contrast with the cookie-cutter approach of big corporations. Boutique businesses are characterized by customer-centricity—giving support to their clients efficiently and empathetically is their North Star.
Yes, a smaller size compared to huge corporations is an attribute; however, it is instead a matter of structure that makes boutique companies competitive. Flexible operations allow them to stay closely aligned with their client’s needs and preferences. They can craft customized and comprehensive solutions by relying on a team of specialized professionals, cutting-edge technologies, and an enthusiasm for innovation and continuous quality improvement.
(That’s how Win & Winnow Language Services, a boutique translation and localization company, could be described, by the way.) Does any of this resonate with you? Maybe turning to the world’s largest language service providers is not the best call for you… and that’s perfectly reasonable! Let’s move on and consider the benefits a boutique translation company offers.
What benefits can a boutique translation company offer?
When assessing whether this type of company would suit your needs, you should consider your goals, the kind of processes, customer service, and quality results you would like to achieve. With those in mind, analyze mindfully the benefits a boutique translation company can provide.
- Communication is simple and efficient
Has it ever happened to you that your emails were left unanswered for days? Maybe you weren’t sure who you should contact when faced with a query or how to reach them. Or perhaps the established communication channel was not user-friendly at all. These inefficiencies are not rare in big companies, where many people are simultaneously handling multiple clients. With a boutique translation company, communication is more direct, turnaround is quick, and each client gets a unique touchpoint to walk them through each stage of the translation process.
- Project management is agile and transparent
Boutique translation companies are agile. Bureaucracy is not part of their landscape, therefore, project managers are receptive to adapting quickly to clients’ shifting priorities and timelines. Customer-centric processes, collaborative real-time work, and access to a Customer Portal will allow you to check on the status of your assigned projects and provide feedback when you feel like it.
- Everyone’s invested in your success
At a boutique translation company, getting to know every client matters. You won’t be made to choose from pre-established services; instead, we’ll adapt to your goals, workflows, and requirements. Language solutions are designed, implemented, and assessed considering requests on a case-by-case basis, and we wouldn’t doubt going the extra mile to deliver first-class results.
- The structure is flexible, so there’s room for innovation
Forget set ways of doing things and adapting to large companies’ methods—It’s your success that matters, and our team will find the best way to get you there. If big corporations often have a one-size-fits-all approach to business, boutique translation companies will more likely adjust to their clients. An agile structure fosters finding improvement opportunities and accelerates decision-making. We’re open to trying something new, doing things differently, and re-create a better “way of doing things”, based on clients’ feedback.
- Cutting edge technology
At the same time, innovative processes integrate technologies to enhance productivity, quality, and traceability. Constant technology implementations are a must to impulse processes to reach clients’ goals. The team quickly gets on board to leverage benefits.
- A dedicated team of experts
In line with knowing and understanding every client, you would be assigned a dedicated team of professionals with an industry-specific background and experience working with companies similar to yours. The team will listen to your requirements and connect with your mission, and translate them into high-quality deliverables.
