XTRF is a highly-specialized enterprise-class software solution specially designed for localization projects, which typically include translation, editing and proofreading work, etc., required by clients and completed by vendors. It integrates functions like client and vendor data management, quote request and confirmation, work assignment, payment arrangements, timeline management and file delivery.

XTRF is yet another translation project management platform that seems to be adopted by more and more translation companies. It is a decent way to issue purchase orders and invoices. The jobs themselves are emailed between translators and project managers, though. I also like that the translator can self-report a lot of information such as skills, software, and vacation days; this probably makes things convenient for the project managers too. It's also helpful for the translator that all past invoices can be stored in one place, with payment statuses transparent to both sides.
