Retail Chain: Improved Team Efficiency
Challenge
A multinational retail chain* operating across several countries faced significant internal communication barriers due to its linguistically diverse workforce. Teams included employees with varying levels of proficiency in different languages and regional dialects, resulting in misunderstandings during key training sessions, team meetings, and updates on products and promotions.
This language barrier led to frequent operational inefficiencies, inconsistencies in customer service, and even occasional errors in promotional execution and inventory management, impacting overall sales performance and team morale.
To resolve this, the company required a secure, on-premise translation solution that could function offline for remote stores and comply with strict data protection policies. They sought a solution that integrated seamlessly into their Slack-based communication system, offering precise translations without exposing sensitive internal data to external networks.
