Tradooz: Tool to automate quotes for sworn translations

And worst part of it is that most of them don’t end up buying.

Working as a translator can be a tedious job, when it could be as simple as ✨translating ✨. A lot of back and forth customers just to collect original documents, confirm language combinations, deadlines, reach a price agreement and other discussions that could be tackled with your own website.

Not only this is a lot of admin work, but it also distracts you from your tasks, which can have a negative impact on the quality of your translations, and therefore your business reputation.

How much easier would your job be, if handling translation orders was so fast, & easy, & almost fun, that you’d do it with pleasure?

Imagine:

Your customers could get quotes directly without any input required from your end
Your customers could complete their purchase on their own
You could streamline any review requests
You could recover automatically orders from those clients that didn’t complete their purchase
You could streamline orders for language combinations you don’t offer directly to other partners

When I completed my university degree on translation studies, I knew for sure that I had to be online to increase the number of ‘eyes’ that could see my translation services. I explored different options to have a website that could automate most of my administrative tasks, so I could focus on translating.

Current state of the web allows you built a custom solution, but it involves a ton of work to glue the pieces together.

First of all, if you want to look professional, you would need to get your own domain, that’s like 12€/year if not more.
Add 5€/month to that if you plan to us some custom email service like Google Apps so you can email your customers from @yourdomain.com
An empty domain does not bring customers, so you will need to get some hosting where you explain what services do you offer. Cheapest option could be a blog or landing page with Wordpress, which you can get starting at 5€/month.
If you want to optimise your time, having a ‘calculator’ where your customers could get a quote it’s key. Solutions like Typeform allow you to upload files and handle quote calculations, starting at 21€/month.
Then if you want to ‘glue’ all together (ie. automate sending emails after a translation is uploaded, send payment notifications, send invoices…) you might need something like Zapier, its cheapest plan starts at 18€/month

~50€/month just to keep ‘lights on’ on your shop so people can learn about your business and what you can do for them.

Tradooz is what we have built as a solution for this. There is a plan that could fit every translator biz, no matter if you just do some translations per month on the side, or if you are running a translation business 24/7 and is your main income; or if you are a full agency offering all kinds of language combinations.

Tradooz is the all-in-one software that solves all the problems of running rour translation business.
