Language access is your responsibility.
The tools were never built for it.
Requests by phone and email, in-house interpreters in a spreadsheet, and agency invoices you can't check.
Why language access teams switch
Language access, handled.
Requests, in-house interpreters and agencies in one place, so your staff get an interpreter without the runaround and you see every encounter.
Request in a minute
Staff book an interpreter in a few clicks and see who's coming, without phone calls or email chains.
A record of every encounter
Every request, assignment and change is logged in one place, ready when compliance or leadership asks.
Use your own interpreters first
Fill requests with your in-house team and send only the overflow to agencies.
So your teams can focus on patients, students and clients, not paperwork.
The hidden tax of running language access in-house.
Every language access program runs into these. They aren't bugs. They're the cost of stitching together tools that were built for someone else.
Requesting interpreters is a black box.
You submit a request and then you're at the mercy of an email or a phone call to find out what happened. There's no shared system, just trust and follow-up.
In-house team and vendors live in separate worlds.
You manage staff interpreters in one system (or spreadsheet) and agency vendors through email. Nothing's connected, so things fall through the cracks.
Visibility depends on who got CC'd.
The only way your team gets oversight into appointments is if they were copied on the right email. There's no role-based access, no department-level views, just an inbox.
Compliance lives in a filing cabinet.
Tracking HIPAA training, certifications, and background checks across in-house staff and contractors, usually in a spreadsheet that's already stale.
Your portal doesn't speak your language.
A courthouse needs case name and room number. A clinic needs provider and department. But your portal gives everyone the same generic form with no way to customize.
No real reporting on your program.
Leadership asks how the language access program is performing. You don't have a dashboard. You have a week of manual data gathering ahead of you.
Wherever language access lives, Fluent fits.
The shape of language access is different in a hospital versus a school district versus a county courthouse. Fluent flexes to each, without forcing you into someone else's workflow.
Hospitals & health systems
From the ED at 2am to the care planning meeting next Tuesday, every encounter logged, in person, by video, or by phone.
School districts & higher ed
Coordinate parent-teacher conferences, IEPs, registrar meetings, and campus events across every site, in dozens of languages.
Courts & legal services
Match certified court interpreters to hearings, depositions, and immigration interviews, with a record of every change.
Government & nonprofits
Serve refugees, asylum seekers, and constituents at scale. Roll up reporting for grants, contracts, and Title VI compliance.
From request to encounter in three steps.
A complete language access workflow, from the moment a department needs an interpreter to documenting the encounter for compliance.
Departments make requests.
Staff request an interpreter from one place, on web or mobile. Every request lands with your language access team and your agency, with its status in view.
Coverage is assigned.
Use your in-house team first. Fluent matches by language, credentials, and location, and overflow routes to your preferred vendors automatically.
Encounters become reporting.
Every encounter is logged with language, modality, department, and outcome. Pull spend reports, utilization, and compliance numbers in seconds.
Free with your agency. Full plans in December.
