Business Management for Language Service Providers
For more than 15 years, translation agencies worldwide have relied on T.O.M. (“Translator’s Office Manager”) as their preferred business and project management tool.
Multi-talented
In 15 years of market experience a multitude of user requests has been implemented in TOM. From quoting to invoicing, from CAT tool integration to feedback / problem management or Christmas mailings – you will find a comprehensive spectrum of features that will help you immensely to manage, promote and enjoy your day-to-day translation business.
Efficient
Efficiency is about everything in order to stay ahead of haunting deaadlines and other tasks. Wherever possible TOM will draw on standard phrases, templates and related data to generate your quotes or invoices quickly. Yet this automation is widely configurable.
TOM’s clearly structured navigation scheme and short distances between program modules are essential in this regard. So are pre-configured filtering and querying throughout the different modules in the database to provide quick access and overview.
Adaptive
TOM easily manages any variety of currencies, tax rates, address formats or customer languages. Standard phrases, folder structures, export formats and so much more are all configurable. The standard version comes with pre-installed templates in English, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch.
The option of printing forms through MS Word give you ample scope for designing your own company layouts.
User languages offered at this point are English and German.
For any further adaptation Jovosoft in Berlin is glad to provide any support needed.
Analytical
Business analyses such as top-selling items or strongest customers are important indicators of business performance and development.
TOM offers on-the-fly reports such as ‘Turnover by language’, ‘Clients by turnover’, listings of quotes grouped by status – to name just a few – help you improve your business planning.
All TOM data may be exported to other tools such as MS Excel.
Web-enabled
Remote access to TOM networks, e.g. from different locations, can be established through Terminal Server hosting which Jovosoft offers at fair prices.
Singe users can easily operate TOM from the cloud.
TOM’s web interfaces connect it to forms for general inquiries and applications, and to a TOM’s client portal.
Scalable
TOM grows with your business. Based on FileMaker database software which can easily, and without compromising performance, handle the data volumes common in translation agencies there is practically no limit to scalability. An elaborate system of user rights provides for efficient access control, from trainee to managing director.
