TRANSPORTATION:
WE HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO PROPEL YOUR MESSAGE

The transport industry is extraordinarily diversified. Communications in this sector present critical challenges, particularly owing to the demand for innovative solutions, rapidly changing terminology, and time-to-market, security, confidentiality and round-the-clock service needs. With long-standing expertise in this field, Versacom offers unlimited capacity, North America’s largest terminology centre and the rigorous confidentiality standards vital to such a fiercely competitive environment.

TRANSPORTATION SAFETY

Each year, our seasoned teams translate hundreds of investigation reports, studies and recommendations from government agencies tasked with highlighting health and safety risks for individuals, communities and infrastructures, as well as overseeing the implementation of vital improvements.

TRAINING MATERIALS

We regularly help our client organizations translate massive technical manuals related to professional development, regulatory compliance or security into any relevant working languages. Many of our skilled language professionals have engineering backgrounds or long-standing partnerships with our clients’ engineers.

MAJOR RFPs AND BIDS

Our transport specialists frequently translate private and public requests for proposals and invitations to tender for innovative or highly complex projects. Through our detailed knowledge of RFP content, we also help bidders translate their proposals into the client organization’s requested language.

MARKETING

In a highly competitive industry where every purchase represents a strategic, long-term investment for the transport organization’s customer, marketing communications must combine technical accuracy with persuasive arguments that set the proposed solution radically apart from all other contenders.
