What Scriptis does

Scriptis is a privately held, founder-led B2B language services provider headquartered in Laval, Quebec, with a US regional office in Philadelphia. Founded in 2008 by OTTIAQ-certified translator Fabien Côté, the firm serves enterprise clients across five verticals: Insurance & Financial Services (primary), Retail & E-commerce, Information Technology, Healthcare & Life Sciences, and Automotive & Manufacturing. Its core products include professional translation, multilingual translation, English-French and English-Spanish translation, with supporting modules in website localization, software localization, e-learning localization, multilingual voiceovers, technical translation, and transcreation. The platform is built on Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools, including translation memory, client-specific term bases, and automated QA checks, supplemented by a global network of vetted in-country linguists for languages beyond English, French, and Spanish.

Scriptis monetizes through project-based and per-word pricing for translation and localization services, with custom quotes and multi-year contracts for enterprise engagements. Revenue flows primarily from a sales-led motion targeting enterprise procurement, supported by dedicated project managers acting as single points of contact across multilingual programs. The company's defensibility rests on its triple certification stack (ISO 17100, ISO 27001, CAN/CGSB-131.10), a translator-led talent bench with formal qualifications, and accumulated client-specific translation assets. Growth has been executed through tuck-in acquisitions (MTM LinguaSoft in 2020, Concordance Translations in 2021), vertical specialization, and North American office expansion rather than through external funding.
