Translation Project Management Delivered as a Service.
No clear view of what you actually pay for. Repetitions, reused content, and AI savings are not fully passed back to you.
Your language data sits inside different agencies and different tools. You cannot easily access it, move it, or reuse it.
You never fully own the quality & process.
Recruiting, onboarding, and training a cohesive team requires significant investment without guaranteed results. CAT toolsComputer-Assisted Translation platforms — software translators use to work on files and reuse past translations., QA softwareQuality assurance software that checks translations for errors, consistency, and terminology compliance., and AI engines add $1,000+ monthly.
In-house linguists, your own freelancers, and outside agencies — all managed separately to cover different languages and needs.
When you hire freelancers directly, they quote higher rates than they charge through Language Service Providers (LSPsLanguage Service Providers — companies that deliver translation and localization services end-to-end and aggregate freelance vendor capacity at preferential rates.).
Maven delivers the expertise and technology of a professional language operation — as your own in-house team, without the cost, complexity, or risk of building one.

Transparency and control — like an in-house department.
Fully managed — like an agency. Without the cost of either.
You are not logging into a tool and learning it yourself. You are not paying for seats. Software is what we use — not what we sell you.
Agencies make money by marking up word rates. The more words you translate, the more they earn. We don't work that way.
We are not a platform where you pick linguists and manage them yourself. You don't manage anyone — we do.
Project management for language operations — delivered as a service.
We handle the full process of running your translation — project management, linguists, technology, quality, payments — the way a BPO provider handles payroll, accounting, or IT. The "project management" part means you pay for the expertise of running it — not for markups on every word that passes through.
