Why an SLA agreement is crucial for stable translation in multinational companies

Advantages of SLA partnership cooperation

For companies with daily translation needs, ad-hoc collaboration creates unnecessary administrative pressure. By signing the SLA (Service Level Agreement) contract with the agency Alfa prevod d.o.o. you secure fixed prices, guaranteed daily capacities, priority delivery dates and a dedicated project coordinator.

The SLA defines precise quality standards (eg mandatory TEP process) and deadlines for responding to inquiries (up to 15 minutes), which enables your business processes to run smoothly.

Fixed prices per translation site facilitate annual translation budget planning and prevent unexpected costs in large tender projects.

Fast response and monthly summary billing

For SLA partners, we guarantee a response to an inquiry within 15 minutes and the start of urgent translations without waiting for individual payments. Payment is made once a month on the basis of a summary report on all translations performed in that month.

The contract also defines dedicated teams of translators who over time adopt the specific terminology of your brand, which drastically shortens delivery times and improves quality.

Monthly consolidated invoices reduce the burden on your finance department by eliminating the need to approve dozens of small individual payments throughout the month.

Guaranteed performance and late penalties

A service level agreement (SLA) provides legal certainty as it contains clear penalty clauses if the agency exceeds agreed delivery deadlines. This gives the client the maximum guarantee that their marketing or legal materials will always be delivered on time for upcoming campaigns or trials.

This type of legal guarantee is standard in Western countries and a necessary condition for working with multinational B2B corporations.

Process control and safety standards

In the professional sphere of translation, quality is not left to chance. Every translated document in our agency goes through strictly defined stages of control. The first step is the selection of a translator who has proven experience in the professional sphere (eg a lawyer for contracts, a mechanical engineer for manuals). After the completion of the first stage of translation, the document is forwarded to an independent proofreader who checks and removes stylistic deviations. The final step is proofreading and checking the accuracy of numbers, dates and formats before delivery.

The security of your sensitive corporate or personal data is guaranteed. All our translators sign strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), and documents are transmitted exclusively through encrypted channels and stored on secure servers in accordance with GDPR regulations.
