It provides a comprehensive set of tools for managing projects, vendors, clients, quotes, and invoicing in one platform, helping to improve efficiency and reduce manual work. The system is highly configurable and supports complex translation workflows, making it well suited for language service providers and organizations handling multilingual content. We also appreciated its file management capabilities and the way it integrates different stages of the translation process into a single workflow. Once users become familiar with the platform, it can save a significant amount of time and improve overall project visibility. > > **Cons**: The main drawback we found was the learning curve. Because Plunet BusinessManager offers such a wide range of features and configuration options, it can take time for new users to become comfortable with the platform. The interface also feels somewhat dated in places, and certain workflows require more clicks than expected. While the system is powerful, we would welcome a more modern user experience and additional simplification for everyday tasks. > > Our overall experience with Plunet BusinessManager has been positive. It is a comprehensive platform that has helped us manage translation projects more efficiently by centralizing project management, vendor management, client information, quoting, and invoicing in a single system. The platform is particularly well suited for organizations with complex translation workflows and multilingual projects. Although there is a learning curve due to the breadth of features available, the system becomes much more efficient once users are familiar with it. We would also appreciate a more modern interface and some simplification of everyday workflows. Overall, Plunet BusinessManager has proven to be a reliable and capable solution that has improved the organization and efficiency of our translation management processes. ----- ### "Good PM tool" — 4.0/5 > **Ana Laura** | *30 November 2022* | Translation & Localisation | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The most important feature is the integration with CAT tools like Phrase TMS (formerly Memsource), however, this integration has a limit when it comes to credentials that can be linked between both systems and this is something that has had an impact on us > > **Cons**: It has a lot of bugs, sometimes the pop-ups won't show, and sometimes the display is odd ----- ### "I don't like Plunet." — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 September 2023* | Translation & Localisation | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked the most about Plunet is its rapidness. > > **Cons**: What I liked the least about Plunet is how slow it is. ----- ### "Great tool for translation project management" — 5.0/5 > **Kelly** | *7 June 2017* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use. Easy to customize to the company's needs. Workflow creation is great\! I love having all of my tasks/projects listed so that I can know what I need to work on and when. Easily synced with other software, like memoQ. Nice that everything can be done through the program - emails, file sharing, project assignments. > > **Cons**: There wasn't really much I didn't like. Sometimes updating prices/price lists is very time consuming, especially if you need to update multiple records at once. > > Organization of projects and streamlining workflows. Database for all company information relating to clients, linguists, pricing, etc. ----- ### "Plunet for Translation Project Organization & Invoicing" — 4.0/5 > **Teresa** | *23 June 2022* | Translation & Localisation | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've been curious about Plunet since I first learned about it in 2017 and finally have the opportunity to use it\! We use it to communicate when projects are completed/delivered in another software and it's a very handy tool for status updates between teams. The colorful icons that delineate whether a project is delivered or approved is the most helpful since I can scroll through dozens of projects at a time and see at a glance what still needs to be finished or approved by the next team. I also love the notes section which we use to communicate any "gotchas" or tougher parts of the projects. > > **Cons**: Aside from the one comments box when marking delivery, there doesn't seem to be any other areas for comment threads or communication -- thus that would need to happen outside of Plunet. Also, when selecting projects for invoicing, if one project in a batch of 20 or more is missed, there isn't an easy way to back and just add that one -- it needs to handled separately. ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/300627/plunet-businessmanager) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
