Before we delve into what these exciting new and improved features are, and how these will inevitably change the way you work, I’d like to take a minute to recap exactly what Trados Business Manager is and how it can help your translation business operate more efficiently.
What is Trados Business Manager?
Keeping track of jobs, managing customer and vendor details, reporting, plus creating and sending accurate quotes and invoices are vital operational tasks required to run a translation business. However, these processes can be quite manual and take time away from what matters most - delivering high quality translations, fast.
Trados Business Manager offers a dedicated environment to help you manage all of the above and more. Through automation, you can efficiently track a translation job from start to finish, speed up your translation processes and reduce manual tasks. Plus, with visual dashboards available for tracking and reporting on your business performance, you’ll have complete transparency across your company.
Working seamlessly with Trados Studio, Trados GroupShare and Trados Live Team, Trados Business Manager is the perfect companion to streamline your business operations. If you’re new to Trados Business Manager, you can find out more about this great solution in our product brief.
What's new?
Completely refreshed user experience
New ways to personalize your workspace
Every translation business has their own unique way of working, so it’s vital you have the ability to tailor your environment to suit your requirements. With the latest release of Trados Business Manager, there are now even more ways to personalize your software.
You have always been able to set users roles in Trados Business Manager and define what content each user group is allowed to view, but we’ve now taken this one step further. In Trados Business Manager 6, as an administrator you can also select how content is displayed, customizing views per user, per role type or across the whole platform. You can also create different layout schemes so each user has a unique experience, set specific default dashboards for each user or user group, design different data entry forms for each client in the customer portal and more - the possibilities are endless!
What’s more, you can also access Trados Business Manager APIs to further customize your Trados Business Manager tool. For example, with these APIs, you can create a connector to connect Trados Business Manager to your accounting software or content management system, use data in Trados Business Manager to create reports externally, or even create a whole new view to show you something not currently available. As long as the information is recorded in Trados Business Manager, you can do anything with it.
Enhanced customer and vendor portals
A scalable solution catering for the whole supply chain
We’re also happy to announce Trados Business Manager 6 is now ready to grow with you, offering distinct packages built for individual translators, agencies and corporate translation teams alike.

And much, much more…
