Case Study: Bürkert Fluid Control Systems achieves up to 20% cost savings with Phrase Localization Platform

Bürkert Saves Up to 20% in Costs with Memsource

Bürkert Fluid Control Systems, a global maker of measurement and control systems with subsidiaries in 35 countries, translates technical documentation, marketing materials, datasheets and internal resources into 16 languages — up to 1.5–2 million words per year. Their localization was decentralized across teams, relied on up to 14 different language vendors, and lacked a TMS and translation memory, which caused slow manual processes, inconsistent content and little cost or project transparency.

After a 30‑day trial Bürkert implemented Memsource — chosen for being cloud‑based, user‑friendly, easy to implement and strong in project management and support. Centralizing translation through one department and Memsource reduced vendors to three, consolidated translation assets, enabled better cost estimates and tracking, and delivered estimated productivity gains and 10–20% cost savings from using a translation memory.
