Working With Quotes
Requesting quotes or estimates for planned work is a common business practice and critical to responsible project management. A typical scenario is:
- You request a quote for translation content to a translation provider.
- The translation provider calculates the cost and creates a quote.
- You may want to modify the number of files, languages, or due dates, which will affect the quote costs. This process could be iterative.
- If the translation costs are:
- Mutually agreed upon, you can accept the quote and start a project.
- Not agreed upon, you can cancel the quote and not proceed with the work.
Using TransPort, you can request detailed quotes for translation projects, manage quotes as they are evaluated, approve quotes, and apply quote details to translation projects.
The major tasks associated with quotes are:
- Creating quotes
- Editing and updating quotes
- Approving quotes
- Creating a new project based on an approved quote
