RFP RESPONSE SOFTWARE

Respond fast. Save time. Win more.

Add the leading RFP platform to your sales technology stack, empowering your response team to develop proposals, manage content, simplify project tasks and collaborate in a fraction of the time using intelligent, AI-driven features.

Create complex RFP responses with confidence. Manage them with ease.

Manually responding to RFPs is a broken process. Advancements in cloud computing and digitization have raised expectations for issuers. RFPs will continue to grow in size and complexity, because issuers expect vendors to be able to access all of their company and product information. There will be more questions about solution fit as well as more emphasis on security, privacy and compliance.

RFP software from Responsive not only streamlines and automates many of your existing RFP response processes, it revolutionizes how you manage projects, govern content and leverage data to pursue only the RFPs that you can win. You’ll work faster, with greater accuracy, so that you have more time to improve every response.

AI assistance: smarter analysis, faster responses

Leverage Responsive to:

  • Auto-identify response content – The advanced artificial intelligence in the Responsive platform automatically identifies response content.
  • Get automated answers – The AI-powered recommendation engine pulls from the content library to recommend answers based on previous similar questions.
  • Assign questions to pertinent subject matter experts – With Responsive, there’s no more trying to figure out the best people to help with your RFP. AI technology identifies relevant and available SMEs.
  • Analyze win-loss opportunities – Not all RFPs are worth a response. Have you won similar bids in the past? Is this one worth it? Responsive learns from previous wins and losses to help you decide whether to pursue the next one.

Content management, unified and simplified

Disjointed content is one of the top challenges of an RFP process. The Responsive content library not only simplifies the search but also does much of the work for you.
