How Sirk Translations replaced a generic ERP with software built for translation

About Sirk Translations

Founded 22 years ago, SIRK offers translation, revision, post-editing, transcreation and sworn translation at highly competitive rates. It works with the five main EU languages (English, French, Italian, Portuguese and German), with Spain’s co-official languages and with many others, including Danish, Dutch, Greek, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Russian, Czech, Slovak, Polish, Hungarian, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

Native translators work closely with a team of revisers to guarantee consistent quality throughout the process. SIRK holds ISO 9001:2008 and UNE-EN 15038:2006 certifications.

The challenge

SIRK used a standard ERP to manage its translation projects, invoicing, collections and payments. Because it wasn’t designed around how a translation agency actually works, it didn’t cover the sector’s needs and made day-to-day work slow and cumbersome, costing the company productivity and efficiency.

Looking to improve both efficiency and the quality of its service, SIRK decided to invest in an advanced management tool built for its business.

Why Gespoint

• Built for translation agencies. It covers the sector’s day-to-day management tasks out of the box.
• Complete and integrated. Project management connects the agency with its clients and translators, and all project data flows automatically into invoicing and accounting. This drastically cuts administrative time and prevents inconsistencies. It also includes document management, financial and accounting control, CRM and business intelligence.
• Fully configurable. It adapts to each company’s specific requirements and ways of working.

The result

SIRK now runs on a powerful ERP fully adapted to its needs, giving it a solid foundation for management, control and analysis as it takes on future expansion and growth.
