This means that 95% of jobs were picked up from the dashboard by a translator within 89 min of being ordered by the customer. As a comparison, January\u2019s pickup time was 39 min. Speed is one of the key factors that is important to Gengo customers, so we will continue to monitor this metric carefully.\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2811\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.gengo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/February-2017-newsletter-chart-Pickup-times.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2049\" height=\"935\" \/>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3><b>Quality score<\/b><\/h3>\r\nAfter an increase in quality in January, we saw our average quality score go down in February.
