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.

Save time

Request in a minute

Staff book an interpreter in a few clicks and see who's coming, without phone calls or email chains.

Save hassle

A record of every encounter

Every request, assignment and change is logged in one place, ready when compliance or leadership asks.

Save money

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.

Sound familiar?

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.

How it works

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.

1
Intake

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.
