Special Report: ASX-listed language tech company Straker has extended its reach into the fast-growing enterprise automation market, announcing a new integration with AI workflow platform n8n.

This comes just days after Straker (ASX:STG)reported record profitability and winning a price target upgrade from broker Ord Minnett.

The integration introduces Straker’s Verify product – its AI-powered translation quality and compliance tool – into n8n’s ecosystem, giving over 230,000 active users and 3,000 enterprise clients the ability to automate translations, receive real-time quality scores, and seamlessly escalate content to human linguists when needed.

The partnership forms part of Straker’s broader platform strategy, which has already seen the company integrate its services into workplace staples like Slack, with plans underway to launch in Microsoft Teams.

“As organisations race to adopt generative AI workflows, translation accuracy and oversight cannot become casualties of speed,” said co-founder and CEO Grant Straker.

“This integration with n8n ensures businesses can move fast without compromising on the quality their global audiences demand. It is yet another example of Straker’s strategy of leveraging third-party platforms to cost-effectively broaden the reach of our sales efforts and grow Straker’s high-margin recurring revenue.”

The new capability is particularly relevant to highly regulated sectors such as financial services, healthcare, and legal, where accuracy and compliance are non-negotiable.

Users can deploy Verify to automatically trigger translations, evaluate content quality in real time, and apply human oversight only where needed offering both scale and assurance.

Record results, stronger margins

The announcement comes off the back of Straker’s FY25 financial results, which saw the Auckland-based firm deliver revenue of NZ$44.9 million – at the top end of guidance – and adjusted EBITDA of NZ$4.8 million, a company record.

Gross margins rose more than 300 basis points to 67 per cent, reflecting a strategic pivot toward AI-enabled, recurring revenue streams and away from lower-margin, legacy translation work.

Ord Minnett responded by lifting its 12-month price target for Straker by 42%to A$0.52 per share, citing stronger-than-expected execution and rising profitability. The broker noted that the company's adjusted EBITDA came in 141% above its forecast and described the platform strategy as a “margin-accretive opportunity”.

“The earnings uplift and expanding contribution from newer offerings such as SwiftBridge and Verify position the company well heading into FY26,” the note said.

The company’s SwiftBridge product, developed in partnership with IBM, recently launched in Japan to support new Tokyo Stock Exchange disclosure requirements. Meanwhile, Verify – now accessible via n8n – delivered more than NZ$1 million in new revenue in its first year.

Straker ended FY25 with NZ$12.9 million in cash and no debt. The company reduced headcount by 15 per cent across the year, including a 32 per cent cut in its Production segment, contributing to sustained operating leverage as it scales its software-led offerings.

While no formal FY26 guidance has been issued, management expects margin expansion and further growth in recurring revenue lines to continue.
