The company delivers seven core service lines — eLearning and Training Localization, Video Localization, Voiceover and Subtitling, Managed In-Country Review, Pre-Translation Localization Consulting, Content Authoring, and Instructional Design for Global Markets — supported by a bench of 500+ linguists and certified instructional designers operating across more than 100 languages and 1,000 dialects. Its proprietary V-Xpress methodology captures 30+ strategic and tactical data points per project to scope, prepare, and execute localization initiatives, while the underlying technology stack includes Translation Memories, Machine Translation, Term Bases, Translation QA applications, and the XTRF Translation Management System, with a secure cloud-based portal for client content delivery. Verbis is integrated with the dominant eLearning authoring platforms — Articulate Storyline 360, Adobe Captivate, and Lectora — allowing its engineers to produce ready-to-publish localized coursework.

Verbis generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements priced via custom quote (Request an Estimate), with multi-year contract cadences and a horizontal segmentation targeting Instructional Designers, eLearning Developers, Directors of eLearning and Training, Talent Development teams, and Learning and Development Executives. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise sales to multinational corporations, with named clients including Google, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and Siemens; marketing is content-led via blog articles, a Learning Center with white papers, and SEO-driven web presence. The company is privately held and founder-owned (CEO Camilo Munoz, Co-Founder/COO Maria Quintero), with no external institutional investment, no disclosed funding rounds, and no M&A activity recorded in the source data.
