Take on more projects without burning out your team

Manual tracking. Endless follow-ups. Juggling spreadsheets and disconnected tools just to stay on top of a single translation project. Sound familiar?

XTRF eliminates the chaos by automating translation workflow management from quote to delivery. Create custom workflows that reflect how your team works — and let XTRF handle the rest, from file transfers to stakeholder updates.

Stay on top of performance with business intelligence dashboards

When your reports are outdated or scattered, you’re always playing catch-up. Issues go unnoticed until they’ve already caused damage.

XTRF gives you real-time insight into the metrics that matter — all in one dashboard. From project performance to client trends, you’ll get instant clarity on where to take action.

Smarter, centralized vendor coordination

Sifting through emails and spreadsheets to find the right vendor for a job? That’s a fast track to project delays and quality issues.

Get access to a centralized vendor database, self-service portals, and automated job distribution. So you can match the right linguist to every task — instantly.

Automate quotes, invoices and purchase orders

Creating quotes from scratch. Manually generating invoices. Waiting weeks (or months!) to get paid. These inefficiencies slow you down and put cash flow at risk.

XTRF streamlines the entire financial process. Generate quotes in minutes, automate invoice creation upon project completion, and track receivables and payables in real time — all within the same integrated system.
