Three and a half years of continuous e-commerce localization
An online retail platform needed continuous localization across Dutch, French, and Tamil for years, where a platform that auto-reassigns idle files punishes any gap in coverage.

An online retail platform needed localization across Dutch, French, and Tamil run continuously for three and a half years, not as a series of separate projects.
The platform auto-reassigned files that sat idle, so any coverage gap risked losing work to another vendor mid-stream.
The problem to solve
Continuous localization on an auto-reassigning platform turns coverage into the core requirement: a file left idle is a file lost.
Holding Dutch, French, and Tamil steady for years meant keeping the same teams and terminology in place across a long engagement, not rotating through a pool.
How Localization services was delivered
MoniSa ran the account on a follow-the-sun model so files were picked up across time zones before the platform could reassign them, with steady per-language teams holding terminology.
Follow-the-sun coverage
Work moved across time zones so files were claimed and handled before they could be auto-reassigned.
Steady language teams
Dutch, French, and Tamil each kept a steady team across the engagement to hold terminology.
Years, not projects
The account ran as one continuous engagement rather than a string of restarts.
What was delivered on this engagement?
The platform received 500,000 words of localization across Dutch, French, and Tamil over a continuous three-and-a-half-year engagement, with follow-the-sun coverage keeping files from being lost to auto-reassignment.

What supported the result
Why this team fit the assignment
A continuous account on an auto-reassigning platform rewards coverage and team stability over one-off speed.
What decided the result
Follow-the-sun coverage plus steady per-language teams is what held the account for three and a half years.
What buyers can reuse
- On platforms that auto-reassign idle work, continuous coverage is the deliverable; translation quality is only one part.
- Follow-the-sun handling kept files claimed across time zones over a multi-year engagement.
- The evidence keeps the client details confidential and attributes the metrics only to this engagement.

What changed in the work
Not the result — the decision taken mid-programme that the result depended on.
Claimed before it could be reassigned
Work moved across time zones so files were claimed and handled before the platform could auto-reassign them. A file left idle is a file lost, and the same steady language teams on each pair are what the three and a half years rest on.
