// CASE STUDY

Automated work assignment for a translation company

Language services company

THE CHALLENGE

What stood in the way

A translation company assigned incoming jobs to linguists by hand, weighing language pair, specialty, workload, and deadline for every request. The process was slow, inconsistent, and did not scale as volume grew — and good matches depended on whoever happened to be triaging that day.

THE SYSTEM

What we built

We built an intelligent work-routing system that reads each incoming job, scores the available linguists against it, and assigns automatically while leaving a clear override for the coordinators. AI does the matching the team used to do in their heads, consistently and instantly.

THE OUTCOME

What changed

Routing that used to depend on a person manually triaging every job now happens automatically and consistently, so work reaches the right linguist sooner and coordinators are freed from repetitive assignment.

Putting AI at the center of the assignment decision made the whole operation more scalable: the same team handles more volume without the routing becoming the bottleneck.

Have a system like this in mind?

Let's talk about what we could build together.
