Lengthy approval processes
Such a process can take several weeks or months and in the end, when all the translated documents have finally been approved, no-one can keep track of exactly who ordered and incorporated which corrections and when. If we assume 5 to 10 emails per country, if 20 countries are involved we are already talking about 100 to 200 emails that need to be read, correctly interpreted and processed. This involves a high risk of errors, lost emails etc. The same naturally also applies to the review and approval of the basic documents, which are usually in German or English. In this case conventional processes also often mean that corrections are overlooked in the daily flood of emails and in the end nobody knows exactly who made and incorporated which correction. One of the greatest disadvantages is that it is not possible for several people to comment on a document at the same time.

Online proofing platform
An online proofing platform can speed up the approval process considerably and also features useful options for providing a clear overview of the status of each individual document. This platform is basically a cloud solution to which documents can be uploaded and comments added. It is a centralised data platform which can be easily accessed by all parties involved. Data security is guaranteed by state-of-the-art encryption methods. Once everyone involved in the approval process has been registered as a user it is possible, for example, to notify them of any outstanding approval tasks by means of automatic reminders.
