Bus/Financial - Marketing / Market Research / company presentation | | French term or phrase: variabiliser | From a presentation about a company accompanying a new plant proposal:
A cette fin, la Société s'appuie sur des partenaires sélectionnés pour leur expertise particulière sur certains domaines (vente en porte à porte, centres d’appels, impression des factures, recouvrement des créances clients, etc ...) ce qui lui permet de **variabiliser** une grande partie de ses coûts tout en bénéficiant d'une haute qualité de service.
Can anyone think of a neat way of saying this?. When I googled the term, translator's café came up with "variabilise" in English, but with only 200 or so ghits, I'm very doubtful about that....
Many thanks |
| | | to classify a great deal of its costs as variable (variabilize) | Explanation:
Hello,
You can indeed say "variabilize" in English."
Meaning:
variabiliser = to consider/classify costs as variable (not fixed or changing fixed)
This helps a company to remain efficient and flexible should it experience a downward trend in sales.
I hope this helps. |
