Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the organization.
Tomedes is a language service provider specialized in translation, localization, and interpretation services. We also provide other services within the realm of communication such as content and digital solutions. The company was founded in 2007 in Israel as a traditional translation company and has since become a highly reputed language and business service provider around the world. Though a tech-forward company, our focus is always on human connection.
As the CEO of Tomedes, I ensure members of the organization have all the resources they need to provide quality solutions for clients large and small. It is also my mission to facilitate the growth of the company. Therefore, I seek out creative solutions to ensure every type of language need is met.
What is the story behind starting this company?
I have a background in engineering and worked for a long time with a global telecommunications company before establishing two startups myself. This led me to truly understand the difficulties clients in my native Israel and around the world have in obtaining streamlined B2B solutions and transparent customer services. At this time, companies were also looking to make their mark on the international scene, and translation was in obvious need. Tomedes was created to simplify the growth process for organizations worldwide. Our model is therefore based on the perfect blend of affordability, high quality, and rapid delivery of various language services. These commitments are upheld by the entire Tomedes team today as we help industries of all kinds reach their global goals.
What are your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?
In the post-Covid era, we have seen more companies adopt remote and hybrid policies after seeing how beneficial they have been for their team. As a remote-first company for the past fifteen years, Tomedes can attest to the advantages of this type of work model. Flexibility improves productivity and profitability as well as promotes a healthy work-life balance. Building a strong relationship with our teams and adapting to their needs has always been one of Tomedes’ main goals. So, we were a remote company before, and we will continue to be in the future.
How does your company differentiate itself from the competition?
At Tomedes, we have a deep respect for the competition and have a lot to learn from them. However, our focus is on the client and what we can do to best meet their complex language demands. Through continuous learning and willingness to adapt to any type of need, we aim to provide optimal language services and solutions. This includes improving our workflows and processes as well as being receptive to customer inquiries and specifications. We may not always know in advance exactly what is required for our clients, which is why we work with them every step of the way to develop a solution that perfectly meets their expectations. Our core values of transparency, excellence, and trustworthiness are testament to our customer commitment. In the end, it’s all about just being ourselves—it’s in our DNA.
What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive? If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?
Tomedes offers B2B services for the global client. We aim to promote growth, no matter the industry of the organization or its size. Finding the perfect fit between our client and language professional according to expertise and experience is really what matters most to us. And the more open we are, the more we will learn. The effects of Covid have nevertheless brought upon a surge in remote and digital transformation demands. This includes, in particular, media and video localization needs for a wide range of sectors.
Please share some of the services that you offer for which clients approach you the most for?
Tomedes started off as a traditional translation agency, but we have now developed into a multidimensional organization that offers a wide range of services. This requires in-depth command of domains like technology and marketing. Our localization services include solutions for websites, software, apps, and gaming. When it comes to content and digital, our expertise encompasses transcreation, copywriting, SEO, and international marketing. We will also continue to develop our offer according to the types of services our clients need.
What is your customer satisfaction rate according to you? What steps do you take to cater to your customer’s needs and requirements?
We are pleased to have a 98% customer satisfaction rate, with constant improvement since 2007. The gains we have made in customer satisfaction can be contributed to our commitment to 100% transparency and open communication. At Tomedes, there is so much importance placed on meeting the needs of the client, which is why our project managers & customer success experts take the time to understand and set clear expectations for every project. We continuously work on optimizing our workflows and processes so we are even more efficient and can go above and beyond.
Moreover, we have significantly extended the scope of services we provide to perfectly cater to client requirements of consistent quality and diversification of needs in the digital era. This includes but is not limited to legal solutions, marketing translation, website localization, and multilingual SEO. In order to provide such different services while maintaining our standards of quality, we have founded online platforms that specialize in legal services, legal transcription, machine translation, certified translation of documents for official purposes, and digital marketing & international SEO.
What kind of support system do you offer to your clients for catering to their queries and issues?
Tomedes’ customer success experts and linguists offer 24/7 real-time support to ensure inquiries and concerns are responded to whenever necessary. This is essential for dynamic businesses who must make quick decisions and require immediacy for any issues, specifications, or potential revisions. Our deliverables furthermore adapt to the urgency of a project so clients can be sure they have the final output when they need it.
What kind of payment structure do you follow to bill your clients? Is it Pay per Feature, Fixed Cost, Pay per Milestone (could be in phases, months, versions etc.)
We believe in transparent communication with all our clients, which includes payment information. Therefore, prices are clearly identified; quotes can be easily calculated, as they are based on the project type or language service request. Translation and localization services are determined according to word count. For consulting, content, and other digital services, we offer straightforward hourly rates that our clients can easily refer to.
Do you take in projects which meet your basic budget requirement? If yes, what is the minimum requirement? If no, on what minimum budget you have worked for?
Tomedes does not set a minimum for any of our projects: they can range anywhere from just a few dollars to millions. Because each language solution is unique, every price reflects that. For example, we can translate one word into forty languages, or we can translate 40,000 words into one language. It really depends on the needs of the client. I remember the very first project Tomedes was hired for…it was 90 cents! And honestly, I was as excited as one can be.
Where do you see your company in the next 10 years?
Every day, we at Tomedes do everything we can to optimize our approach in order to become a leading customer-centric company. By preserving our core values of transparency, excellence, and trustworthiness, we seek to maintain a high level of standards for human language & translation services, technology solutions, and additional services we plan to provide in the long run. We are excited about where the future will take Tomedes and look forward to seeing it continue to grow.

I'm in the mortgage business and from time to time I have borrowers that come to me with documentation in a foreign language. My company requires that this be professionally translated. I've always used Tomedes and been pleased by the quality of their work and their turn-time. Most of the time, I have my translated docs back within 48 hours. I highly recommend them!

Review Summary

I have worked with lots of translation agencies, but I have never met such a professional team as Tomedes.

Tomedes make the translations from English to Spanish and German for our eCommerce company.

Few reasons to fall in love with them:
- They answer all your questions very quickly.
- They deliver all the translations on time. Even earlier than the mentioned deadline.
- They can deliver your translation at any time. Even at night.
- The quality of translations is always great.
- The reliable team is always in touch and ready to help you with any problem.
- Btw, they always send you a quote for the final approval. So, you can always check what you pay for before they start translating.

The perfect quality of translation, amazing service, and communication process – all this is about Tomedes.

I’ll highly recommend this agency to everyone.

Tomedes, has not once disappointed me nor my recommended clients with the translation projects. Since the first project in 2020 I can say with confidence that they are trusted and reliable translating firm.

Simply email the file for translation, accept their quote, make payment and within 24 hours the translations are ready (time-frame depends on the amount of documents, though).

They translate VARIOUS languages!

What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?

Some countries require notarized translations, also regarded as certificate of sworn translator. Perhaps this can be achieved by employing sworn translators to certify/verify the projects and issue the certificate of sworn translation. May be a long shot but will be an advantage in case certain projects require this.
