OUR QUALITY
COMMITMENT
Let’s Talk Value
Apex Translations, Inc., is certified to conform to the requirements of the international ISO 17100- 2015 Quality Management Standard. This standard provides a formal framework for managing and improving our processes, and for constantly reinforcing our commitment to maximizing customer satisfaction.
When comparing translation companies, you will face the challenge of having to compare providers that vary greatly in terms of cost and the services they offer. The following are the measurements we apply at Apex to ensure consistent, high quality.
“Quality Has to Be Caused, not Controlled.”

Pricing
To determine how our pricing compares with our competitors’, we have consulted with industry experts at Common Sense
Advisory (CSA), an independent market research company that helps translation service providers such as Apex to benchmark, optimize, and innovate best practices.
Data obtained from CSA, combined with our own studies and annual surveys, confirm that Apex’s pricing is highly
competitive with that of other ISO-certified translation service providers.
Quality, Quantitatively Assessed
We use the SAE Translation Quality Metric, a method for measuring translation quality that is recognized throughout the industry, to determine the Overall Document Weighted Score (ODWS). We provide a money-back guarantee that none of our translations will ever exceed an ODWS value of 0.02.
In order to quantify our level of customer satisfaction, we are partnering with an
independent review site, Trustpilot, to collect regular reviews generated by our clients.
