localization as a revenue driver

Positioning localization as a core driver of global revenue

Localization is a revenue driver, not a cost of doing business globally. Our Localization Revenue Report proves it.

Why agile localization is the cure for localization tech debt

Most teams think of technical debt as messy code. But one of the fastest-growing sources of debt has nothing to do with code. It’s about localization.

The missing service that helps digital agencies win bigger global contracts

The question isn't if your clients are going global, but how fast they're doing it. Global expansion, international SEO/AEO, and multilingual digital experiences are no longer niche requests; they’re dominating strategy conversations and discovery calls across the industry. Your clients are looking for more than a translation service. They need to rethink their core processes for international growth.
