About the company
Founded by Sándor Sojnóczky in 2003, Hunnect has evolved from a one-person freelance translation operation into a thriving language service provider (LSP) with 28 employees and an annual revenue exceeding 2 million euros.
In 2017, Hunnect transitioned from Projetex to the XTRF System to streamline its translation management processes and integrate seamlessly with client systems.
This success story explores how XTRF has been instrumental in Hunnect’s journey, leading to substantial revenue growth and operational efficiencies…
The challenge
Hunnect faced significant challenges within an evolving translation industry:
Industry evolution: As the translation industry increasingly adopts Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE), Hunnect needed to adapt its processes while maintaining high-quality services.
Integration requirements: To align with client systems, Hunnect required a flexible platform capable of building custom integrations.
The solution
Hunnect’s adoption of XTRF brought about several transformative changes:
Custom integrations: XTRF enabled Hunnect to build custom integrations with client systems, reducing the time between receiving requests and starting translations.
Efficiency gains: By automating file transfers between linguists, eliminating manual Purchase Order generation, and using custom integrations, Hunnect saved 50-100 hours per week.
Increased project volume: XTRF allowed Hunnect to process a higher number of projects with the same number of Project Managers (PMs).
Favorite XTRF features: Hunnect heavily utilized the Request feature for job assignments to freelancers, which facilitated communication and included CAT-count information.
Customizations and macros: Hunnect leveraged customization to connect XTRF to client systems via API, developed parsers for project creation, enhanced the Home view with virtual columns, and built a two-way integration with their invoicing system. Daily database backups were also automated.
We highly value the collaboration with the XTRF team, particularly the responsive helpdesk and dedicated customer success manager.”
