Bring Clarity to
K-12 Language Access with Sokano.
Meet the Sokano Platform — an interpretation management system and interpreter dashboard powered by the C.L.A.R.O. Engine (Centralized Language Administration & Resource Orchestration). A unified Software as a Service (SaaS) platform connecting Administrators, Requesters, Interpreters, and Schools & Offices.
A Platform Built for Every Role
See how the Sokano Engine delivers a tailored, intuitive experience across administration, schools & offices, requesting, and interpreting.
The Unified Ecosystem
A single architecture that seamlessly connects Requesters, Administrators, Interpreters, and Schools & Offices in real-time.
Requesters
Empower your staff with an intuitive portal for instant service booking. From real-time status tracking to automated digital receipts, we’ve removed the friction from the request lifecycle.
Schools & Offices
Transparency built-in. Equip individual buildings or departments with their own financial dashboard to monitor service usage and allocate budgets efficiently.
Administrators
Manage your entire language service ecosystem from a single, unified interface. Seamlessly transition from high-level oversight to granular execution: approve requests to the live Job Board, broadcast targeted SMS alerts, and refine job details in real-time.
Interpreters
A centralized hub designed for the modern linguist. Sync your professional calendar, manage upcoming assignments with ease, and download a Google Calendar event or .ics file for every confirmed job. A workflow that respects your time and simplifies your admin.
Core Capabilities
One-Stop Service Gateway
Empower school staff with a single, unified front door for all their language needs. Whether it's requesting an on-site interpreter or submitting an IEP for translation, the process is streamlined and clear—no more confusing forms or emailing the IT department.
Financial Engine
Eliminate manual calculations with automated cost computation. Configurable rate cards by language and interpretation type, paired with live spend dashboards, give you clear visibility into your language services budget.
Secure Document Pipeline
Stop emailing sensitive student documents. Sokano provides an encrypted, FERPA-aware translation workflow with role-based access — plus an optional PII Scan & Redaction add-on that uses a third-party detection service and an admin redaction review step before any document is released for translation.
Separated Audit Logs
Two distinct services, one clear ledger. See interpretation costs and translation requests clearly separated, ensuring every dollar and document is mathematically tracked.
Targeted SMS Broadcasts (Price Addon)
Deliver instant SMS notifications for available assignments exclusively to interpreters who match the specific job criteria—reducing noise and filling jobs faster.
Seamless Calendar Integration
Every assignment syncs directly to your calendar — from Google Calendar deep links to downloadable .ics files — so interpreters and staff never miss an appointment.
Your Assignments, Always In View
The Sokano Platform gives administrators a bird's-eye calendar view of every upcoming interpretation session. Click any event to instantly surface full job details — school, language, time, and staffing status — without ever leaving the dashboard.
