> **Quick answer —** White-label localization lets an agency run the platform as its own product: own domain and branding, own model provider keys, own storage bucket and a translation memory built from its clients' work. The margin sits in inference and reuse, not in a reseller discount.[Vitra.ai Universe](https://www.vitra.ai/platform) runs multi-tenant, in a dedicated region, or fully air-gapped.

## Reselling usually means reselling someone else's everything

The standard arrangement gives a partner a discount and a logo placement. The client still signs in to a vendor's product, receives email from a vendor's domain, and their content sits in a vendor's bucket.

The relationship is visibly intermediated, which makes it easy to disintermediate.

[White label](https://www.vitra.ai/features/white-label) inverts that. The platform runs on your domain with your palette and your logo, notifications arrive through your own SMTP, and the client's experience does not mention anyone else.

## What an agency actually controls

Layer

Yours

Domain and branding

Your domain, logo, palette

Email identity

Your SMTP credentials

Model providers

Your API keys, per workflow

Storage

Your S3 bucket

[Translation memory](https://www.vitra.ai/features/translation-memory)

Scoped per client

Roles and rates

Your entitlements, your pricing

Bringing your own model keys is the one that changes the economics. Inference runs on your accounts under commercial terms you already negotiated, against vendors you have already assessed — so the spread between what inference costs you and what you charge is yours rather than a vendor's. Choosing providers per workflow matters more than it sounds. The model that wins on dubbing is rarely the one that wins on document translation, and being able to route each separately is where quality and cost stop fighting.

## Where the margin actually comes from

Not the reseller discount. Two other places.

Inference spread, as above. And reuse: a memory that grows across a client's work means the second year of an account costs less to serve than the first, while the retainer does not fall. That compounding is the business, and it only accrues if the memory is scoped to you rather than pooled.

Run a separate memory per client. Pooling them looks efficient and creates a confidentiality problem nobody wants to explain.

## What clients ask before they sign

Where their content sits. Whether their material trains anything. Whether they can leave with their memory intact — and the honest answer needs to be yes, in TMX, or the question comes back later as a dispute.

Attach a [quality control](https://www.vitra.ai/features/quality-control) report to every delivery.

An evidence-backed verdict per batch is a stronger commercial position than a per-word rate, because it is the thing the client cannot produce themselves.

Public bodies are a natural fit, since several can run one platform under their own identities — [local authority website translation](https://www.vitra.ai/government/local-authority-website-translation).

## FAQ

**What does white-label localization actually include?** Your domain, logo and palette; email through your own SMTP; your model provider API keys; your S3 storage bucket; a translation memory scoped to you; and your own roles, entitlements and rates.

**Where does an agency make margin on a white-label platform?** Two places. Inference runs on your own provider accounts, so the spread between cost and price is yours. And memory reuse means an account gets cheaper to serve each year while the retainer holds.

**Should an agency keep one memory or one per client?** One per client. A pooled memory looks efficient and creates a confidentiality problem, because one client's approved wording becomes available to another. Scope it per client from the start.

**What do clients ask before signing a white-label arrangement?** Where content is stored, whether it trains anything, and whether they can export their translation memory if they leave. The last one needs a yes in a portable format or it resurfaces as a dispute.
