Goals
Intravis needed a reliable translation management solution to efficiently handle German-to-English translations of operating instructions in-house. They also sought to improve translation speed, maintain consistency, and integrate terminology management into their workflows.
Challenges
Maintaining consistency and managing terminology were among the main challenges. Intravis also aimed to speed up its time-consuming translation process.
Results
50% faster, more consistent, and higher-quality translations. Furthermore, Qterm ensures accurate terminology, reducing outsourcing and cutting costs.
“We are 50%, probably even more, faster doing our German-English translations in-house when we use memoQ TMS for the translation. The TM matches, both 100% matches and fuzzy matches, make it very easy to translate similar operating instructions and helped us to improve consistency across documents.”

Increasing Speed and Consistency
memoQ TMS’s translation memory allows the company to efficiently translate operating instructions, taking advantage of existing matches to accelerate the process. Both 100% and fuzzy matches simplify working on similar documents, ensuring uniformity while improving efficiency. memoQ TMS also works seamlessly with Intravis’ content management system.
“We can export translation packages of operating instructions from our CMS and can easily import them to memoQ TMS, do the translation and re-import them into our CMS.” Maike Staas – Team Lead Technical Documentationat Intravis
Better Terminology Access with Qterm
The integration of Qterm in 2023 transformed how terminology is managed at Intravis. Translators can now access approved terms directly within memoQ TMS, eliminating the need for external searches. Plans to integrate Qterm into the CMS will further strengthen terminology management across departments.
Reliable Support
While the company found memoQ’s manuals comprehensive, they appreciated the technical support received when implementing Qterm and setting up their server. The support team played a key role in ensuring a smooth transition.
A Fast and Cost-Effective Translation Workflow
memoQ TMS has made a noticeable impact: in-house translations are now 50% faster, with greater consistency and quality. By outsourcing fewer projects, the company has reduced costs while retaining control over translation processes.
