Localization for manufacturing companies

Manufacturing companies that wish to go global and market their products in other countries cannot carry this out successfully without a localization strategy. Localization ensures technical accuracy in product information, compliance with varied regulations, and effective marketing to diverse audiences. Being able to meet all of these requirements would be impossible without the right localization solution, like a translation management system (TMS).

XTM Cloud is a localization solution for manufacturing companies that streamlines the localization process by automating translation, and reducing time and cost while maintaining consistency with the required terminology. It enables companies to land more quickly in new markets, supports efficient supply chain communication, and facilitates consistent branding, enhancing a company’s global competitiveness.
