Free template · No signup
A TMS evaluation scorecard records how each platform handles the same source content, language resources and review decisions. Use this free template to define a fair pilot before comparing proposals or committing to a migration.
Use it when comparing Vitra TMS with another platform, adding a TMS to an existing workflow or checking whether a translation-only tool is enough. The template contains no vendor ratings or presumed winner.
The sample pilot includes an article, an app label and a campaign design. Use the same approved glossary, source versions and reviewers for each candidate. Record observed evidence instead of scoring a marketing claim.
Edit the worked example. These fields are processed in your browser and are not sent to a Vitra server. Page analytics, if enabled, are separate.
Your handoff, ready to edit
One setup article, ten app labels and one editable campaign design. Test en-US to es-MX. Keep the source versions identical for each candidate.
Provide the same product brief, approved glossary and style guide. Test an ambiguous label and a protected product name.
Have the same reviewers record meaning, terminology, layout issues and the steps needed to correct them. Count rework, not only draft speed.
Record manual steps, file handling and whether the final exports are usable. Test the actual connector and import format required by the team.
Ask each candidate for the cost of this workload, relevant access controls, support scope and deployment options. Do not extrapolate a free pilot to a production bill.
Record the candidate, observed result, reviewer notes and missing evidence. Leave the decision open until the team agrees on its essential requirements.
0 of 5 checks selected. This is not a quality score or release approval.
Free. No signup required. Markdown includes selected checks; CSV contains the editable fields. Changes are not saved after leaving or reloading this page.
A smooth demo can solve a different problem from your team's. Decide what must work: a preserved placeholder, an editable design, a specialist approval or a usable subtitle export. Record those requirements before seeing the vendor's preferred workflow.
For each requirement, record passed, needs work, blocked or not tested, with a reference to the output. A score without that evidence makes the comparison look more precise than it is. Let the team choose weights only after agreeing which requirements matter.
A small translation test does not prove that every memory, termbase or historical file will import cleanly. Ask about supported formats, map fields and validate a sample before migrating the full collection. Keep the old references available until the imported resources have been checked.
When the job repeats
Use the provider-specific pilot suggestions to test your shortlist. Compare the workflow you need rather than assuming one category fits every team.
No. It is an editable evaluation plan for your own pilot. It has no pre-filled vendor scores, prices or ratings and does not assume Vitra wins the comparison.
Use a small representative set that exercises your important requirements. Include a difficult example, the relevant file formats and a review step. The right set depends on the work you expect the platform to handle.
