Manual Quote Calculations Were Slowing Down Sales.
Global Doc Translation receives quote requests and translation orders through its WordPress website, primarily from Google Ads traffic. Every incoming request required employees to manually calculate pricing based on multiple factors such as:
- Number of pages
- Word count
- Translation language
- Apostille requirements
- Delivery method
- Shipping charges
The team then manually emailed quotes to clients and managed document exchanges through email attachments.
This process resulted in:
- Delayed quote responses
- Increased administrative workload
- Risk of pricing errors
- Security concerns when sharing sensitive documents through email
- Lack of centralized communication and order tracking
The Strategy & Solution
I designed and developed a custom CRM and secure client portal that fully automated the quote-to-delivery workflow.
A dynamic pricing engine was built inside the CRM, allowing the company to define pricing rules for translation services, apostille requests, page counts, word counts, shipping options, and delivery methods.
Quote and order submissions from the WordPress website are automatically transferred into the CRM through webhooks. Once an order is placed, the system automatically generates a client account and sends login credentials via email.
Clients can securely upload their documents directly into the portal, communicate with the translation team through a built-in chat system, track progress, download completed translations, and access invoices—all from a single dashboard.

HOW IT WORKS.
WordPress CRM Integration
Custom webhooks automatically transfer quote requests and orders from the website into the CRM without manual data entry.
Dynamic Pricing Engine
The system calculates pricing automatically based on configurable business rules including:
- Per-word pricing
- Per-page pricing
- Apostille services
- Shipping charges
- Delivery methods
- Rush processing options
Secure Client Portal & Document Management
Clients receive login credentials automatically and can securely manage their documents within the portal instead of email. All uploaded source documents and completed translations are stored securely and organized within each client account.
Real-Time Communication & Stripe Automation
Built-in chat functionality allows clients and staff to communicate directly. Invoice statuses are automatically updated based on Stripe payment events, eliminating manual payment tracking.
Business Intelligence Dashboard
Interactive charts (Chart.js) and reports provide management with real-time visibility into revenue performance, orders received, quote conversion rates, monthly growth trends, and year-over-year comparisons.
