    Eclipse's project-based services module extends the platform beyond appointment-based interpreting to support translation, localization, and multi-stage language service projects. Manage complex workflows—from initial translation through review, editing, and final delivery—within a unified platform that handles provider assignment, file tracking, volume-based billing, turnaround calculations, and client invoicing.

    Workflow Management

    Multi-Stage Project Workflows

    Design custom project templates that chain services in sequence, each with discrete pricing, turnaround contributions, and provider assignments.

    Multi-Stage Workflow Designer

    Create project templates that chain services in sequence—Translation → Editing → Proofreading → Desktop Publishing—each with discrete pricing, turnaround, and provider assignments.

    Volume-Based Pricing

    Configure per-word, per-page, or per-minute rate cards with customizable minimums, maximums, and increment rounding rules for accurate billing.

    Turnaround Calculation

    Define volume-threshold turnaround parameters that auto-calculate estimated delivery dates based on word count, page count, or duration.

    Provider Assignment

    Assign translators, editors, and specialists per stage or per file. Support for auto-broadcast and auto-assign based on language pairs and qualifications.

    File Lifecycle Management

    Track source files and deliverables through every stage with version control, per-file status tracking, and timestamped approval history.

    Approval Workflow

    Configure stage progression rules: require admin approval, auto-advance on submission, or enable partial progression for parallel processing.

    Visual Timeline

    Track Every Stage in Real Time

    Upon submission, a single booking is created with a visual timeline UI showing each stage as a discrete step in the workflow—with estimated dates, assigned providers, and action buttons for management.

    • Stage-specific booking numbers (e.g., 100601-A, 100601-B)
    • Estimated and actual start dates per stage
    • Provider assignments visible at a glance
    • Dynamic updates as project progresses
    • Customer view vs. detailed admin view

    Financial Management

    Volume-Based Billing & Invoicing

    From volume reconciliation to per-stage invoicing and provider remittance statements—complete financial tracking for project-based services.

    Volume Reconciliation

    Capture estimated volume at request, reconcile actual volume during execution, and auto-adjust pricing based on delivered counts and rounding rules.

    Expedited Service Fees

    Configure percentage-based turnaround reduction rules with automatic surcharge calculation when clients request faster delivery.

    Per-Stage Invoicing

    Generate consolidated invoices with per-stage breakdowns, or partially close projects to invoice completed stages while work continues.

    Provider Remittance Statements

    Calculate provider compensation by actual volume delivered with adjustments for rush fees, quality bonuses, and per-file payment tracking.

    TMS Capabilities

    Translation Management System Alignment

    Eclipse's project-based services mirror core TMS capabilities while maintaining signature provider dispatch automation and end-to-end financial management.

    Real-World Use Cases

    See how Eclipse manages complex translation and localization projects across industries.

    Legal Translation with Multi-Stage QA

    Scenario:

    Law firm requests 5,000-word contract translation (EN→ES) with legal review and certification.

    Workflow:

    Translation (per word) → Legal Editing (per word) → Proofreading (per page) → Certification (flat fee)

    Outcome:

    System calculates 7-day turnaround, assigns providers per stage. Client requests 4-day delivery; system applies expedited fee per workflow rules.

    Marketing Localization with DTP

    Scenario:

    SaaS company needs website content localized into 8 languages with desktop publishing for layout adaptation.

    Workflow:

    Translation (per word) → Cultural Adaptation (per word) → DTP (per page) → Final Review

    Outcome:

    Project split into parallel language-pair projects. DTP stage begins on approved translations via partial progression. Files flagged for revision regress to prior stage.

    Large-Scale Document Translation

    Scenario:

    Government agency submits 50-file, 100,000-word document set for translation.

    Workflow:

    Translation only (per word) with file-level provider assignments

    Outcome:

    Admin assigns 10 translators, splitting files by subject matter. Partial invoicing after each batch maintains cash flow while project continues.

    Video Localization Project

    Scenario:

    Training video requires transcription, translation, subtitle creation, and voiceover.

    Workflow:

    Transcription (per minute) → Translation (per word) → Subtitling (per minute) → Voiceover (per minute)

    Outcome:

    Each stage uses appropriate volume units. Discrete provider assignments and turnaround contributions per stage.
