Kimberly Weber President and Founder at Iowa Home Care

BPO Review from Kimberly Weber
We brought on IdeasUnlimited to help with our back office work so our nurses and staff could stay focused on clients. They handle scheduling, reports, emails, and client inquiries, and they picked up new tasks fast with very little training. The time we save is huge, and it makes our daily operations smoother. What I like most is they really try to fit into how we work, so it feels like they are part of our own team. The onboarding took a little time, but once we got set, everything has been running well.

BPO Review from Miriam Woodward
IdeasUnlimited has been a dependable partner for us at De Dios Consulting. They handle our scheduling, emails, research, and reports, which freed up time for us to focus on clients. What I value most is how quickly they adapt and how much they feel like part of our team. The only challenge was getting them up to speed on a few tools, but once they learned, everything has been smooth.
Jeffrey Bill Founder & CEO at Sunrise Treatment Center

Medical Review from Jeffrey Bill
Working with IdeasUnlimited has been a real help for us at Sunrise Treatment Center. We brought them in to handle our medical billing so our staff could focus more on patients. They learned our system fast and cut down on errors which meant we got paid quicker and had better cash flow. Communication has always been easy and they adjust when we need something changed. What stood out most is how detailed and reliable they are. Nothing is ever perfect but they came pretty close.

I really like the time savings that FirstDraft will have with our backlog of transcripts! FirstDraft reduces the amount of typing our transcriptionists spend prior to and likely during proofreading, which has helped cut down the transcription process and made it more manageable. We are proud to work with you all and we are so excited to use this product.

Worst Worst and worst experience ever. Do not join the Mississauga office. The top management is very rude and selfish. They will make you feel worthless. You can be thrown out of the company at any point of time. Very unorganized, no work life balance. Clear discrimination. Avoid at all cost.

We are nearing the completion of our Code of Business Conduct computer-based training module. The development and launch of this tool was strategically very important to our company. I would like to thank you for your contribution to the success of this project. It has been a pleasure having a “cyber-relationship” with you. Even though we haven’t had the pleasure of meeting face to face, you have exceeded all of our translation needs on this project! Matt and I both, have found it very easy and completely productive dealing with you and your firm. Your responsiveness, service orientation, product delivery and attention to detail have been greatly appreciated. We believe we has received maximum value from TranlateXpress. Please don’t hesitate to use us as a reference for your future customers. I sincerely hope we have the opportunity to work together on more projects in the future!

Extremely rude customer service. I have asked for a quote online as I needed to translate 1 payslip. The quote was 75$ each page, but the total was coming at 250$. I asked on the chat why (maybe there was a technical issue give the page was one and the total cost didn't make sense) and "Mark" on the chat replied literally: "You can find cheaper quotes somewhere else. Good luck". And closed the chat.

Igor Gorskikh's Review Sourced from Google
Horrendous service. We reached out to Day Translations for assisting with an important USCIS interview for our client. We paid the fee and everything was ready. Then, on the day of the interview the client is waiting outside the location and there is no translator to be found. He calls Day Translations and they tell him on the phone that his interpreter pulled out of the interview for "emergency reasons". Not only did we loose a key interpreter 30 minutes before the interview, Day Translations did not even notify us about it and if we didn't call to check, we would be completely screwed. We then had to scramble ourselves to provide an alternative because they couldn't. And they refused to compensate us for the sunk costs we incurred by getting a last second translator. Would never recommend this horrible company to anyone.

Willem Koenders's Review Sourced from Google
I had a great experience working with Day Translations for a USCIS interview.Our interpreter, Carlos Güiza, was truly excellent. He was very cordial, professional, and kind, and made us feel comfortable right away. The interpretation itself was flawless, but what really stood out was how helpful he was in explaining parts of the process as we went along. That made a big difference for us.I also want to highlight the broader team. We had a few logistical issues on our end, and they were very responsive, tried to reach us, and still made everything work smoothly. That level of professionalism was really appreciated.Overall, a very positive experience, and I would absolutely recommend their services.

Obviously not everything is perfect, but until now, every single problem has been solved satisfactorily. So there is nothing to complain about. Thanks a lot.

Terri has been an incredible SmartPA assistant for our family over the past 18 months. Her support has been invaluable in managing our busy work and home administrative tasks. Throughout our travels across Europe, the US, and Canada, as well as during our recent move to a new house and country, Terri has been there for us every step of the way. In particular, I have appreciated that Terri has used great judgment in assessing options on all fronts and hasn't just gone for the easy road of blindly following orders. I have trusted her as a "second me" and that has been so helpful. We couldn't have done any of this without her!
