TDABids.com provides corporate buyers with all of the tools necessary to buy translation and manage the language service needs of the company with or without the “middle man” of an agency or internal language service department. Once a project is created, a corporate buyer can invite several qualified language professionals — including the language service department — to place their bids, assign the project to the professional of the buyer’s choice and manage the project online.
Bid requests are by invitation only, allowing the buyer to quickly compare and choose the best price. TDA Direct Buy lets the buyer decide how the project should be managed either through direct contact with language professionals or the corporation’s internal language service department.
