Every LSP manages two sets of Data:
- The Translatable content

How we measure how busy we are
![Page 12: Data Woes to Data Flows Localization World 2014 Dublin by Welocalize Derek Coffey and XTRF](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55391edc4a7959016b8b4990/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How we need to measure how busy we are:
How many individual projects do we create?
How many unique activities or tasks do we track with our supply chain?

PM and accounting data – Client needs a portal

So surely a vendor portal fixes the
issues?

Vendor web services
![Page 23: Data Woes to Data Flows Localization World 2014 Dublin by Welocalize Derek Coffey and XTRF](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55391edc4a7959016b8b4990/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Diversity in our Supply chain -
Use Excel & Outlook….
Use a Proprietary system
Use XTRF or Plunet
Use another licensed product
Planning to implement a licensed solution
![Page 24: Data Woes to Data Flows Localization World 2014 Dublin by Welocalize Derek Coffey and XTRF](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55391edc4a7959016b8b4990/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Don’t need to access the vendor portal.
Significantly reduces our Supply Chain PM overhead.
Can see new tasks as they are created by our PM’s.
Queries they create in their system appear in ours.
We are sharing a single set of data – accuracy.
