What is the Translation Business Management System (TBMS)?

A Translation Business Management System (TBMS) is specialized software designed to manage the business side of translation services. It helps translation companies handle client management, vendor and translator databases, pricing, invoicing, payments, and detailed business reporting.

Unlike translation tools focused solely on the translation workflow, a TBMS provides strategic oversight to run and grow a translation business efficiently. It integrates project management with financial and administrative functions, enabling companies to track all projects, manage resources, automate invoicing, and analyze business trends-all from a centralized platform.

Examples of TBMS platforms include Awtomated, which offers customization options, advanced quoting, and comprehensive reporting tailored for translation businesses.
