Case Study: Indeavor achieves 80–90% reduction in localization time and lower translation costs with Lokalise

How Indeavor saves on time and translation expenses with Lokalise

Indeavor, a workforce management and employee scheduling software company, faced a cumbersome manual localization workflow: files were emailed to translation agencies, developers manually created translation keys, and long lead times plus human error caused lost or mismatched files. To streamline this, Indeavor selected Lokalise as its localization management platform to replace the old, outsourced process.

By implementing Lokalise (with integrations like GitLab), Indeavor automated key management, cleaned duplicate keys, and shortened handoffs — developers now spend 80–90% less time adding new translation keys, localization tasks occupy about 1–5% of the product manager’s hours, and the team added six new languages in six months. Lokalise’s duplicate finder also reduced needless translation spend (for example, one string like “yes” had been translated 180 times), delivering clear time and cost savings.
