Italian to English translations [PRO]
Italian term or phrase: SINTONIA
IL SERVIZIO DEVE ESSERE SVOLTO CON ESTREMA SINTONIA E VELOCITA’ PER EVITARE CHE IL CLIENTE ASPETTI MOLTO LE PROPRIE VALIGIE.

I can't think of a good way to say this...any suggestions?

in unison


Explanation:
but generally one says "in unison" of people working together

What I would say, perhaps, is "the service must be provided to clients soon after arrival to make sure their luggage is not delayed
or
to make sure they do not wait for their luggage too long

anche synchronism (sincronismo)


Ho notato che spesso invece di usare delle bellisime parole di origine greca o latina si usano circonlocuzioni o parole che non hanno lo stesso preciso significato.
