Case Study: BDO streamlines localization with Smartcat

The evolution of localization department tools

BDO Ukraine, a seasonal business with heavy document localization needs, struggled with fragmented tools, costly per-PC installations, broken collaboration, and formatting changes on export. To support multiple departments and maintain strict visual identity and confidentiality standards, the team needed a cloud-based localization platform with translation memories, glossaries, and shared workflow capabilities.

Smartcat provided BDO with a cloud-based CAT and localization solution featuring translation memories, terminology management, glossaries, machine translation, and separate corporate seats for employees. The result was a single secure collaboration space for about 70 employees, intact document formatting on export, and steadily expanding translation memories and glossaries that improved localization efficiency.
