Choosing the right TMS can be crucial for your company’s development. Not only because it will help you to increase your productivity, but first of all it will make your work life easier.

A good TMS needs to combine large scope of functionalities covering all your activity, with nice and easy interface. And LBS Suite, a French TMS dedicated to LSPs and translation departments, can be a good solution for you!

History

LBS Suite was created in 2002 in France to fit the needs of specific translation companies. Already in 2007, it started to be sold in the entire French market and very quickly turned out to be a leader of TMS solutions in France.

Over time, LBS Suite increasingly adapted to the requirements of its clients. Among them a company, which became a European leader, asked for in-depth developments that made LBS Suite a complete and powerful tool for translation companies. Therefore, in 2018, LBS started to expand all over the world.
