Best Proposal Management Software on the Market.

Over the last few years, I’ve been contacted by several competing proposal management software companies with claims of a better product at a better price. In pretty much every case, I’ve found that after a short conversation the software is more expensive and does not have the robust functionality that Qvidian has. If there’s a better (or even similar) product on the market, I haven’t seen it. Qvidian speeds our time of response and automates many processes that would otherwise be manual.

Key RFP Tool

Verified user

Qvidian is the major tool on which our RFP team relies on when answering to client questions. We use it as a knowledge database but also as a tool to create our RFP template forms. It is easy to use, fast and it completely meets our expectations and needs. Qvidian saves me a lot of time because with it I can prepare in a few minutes a brand new RFP template ready to use. In this way, I can concentrate on filling in the content with company and product specific information. Qvidian helps me improve my productivity and results.

An essential and really intuitive tool for RFP and DDQ completion

Verified user

There are two ultimate highlights of Qvidian: firstly, the Library and its ease of use and searchability, and secondly the intuitive interface of the Qvidian platform. The Library has become a go-to source of intellectual capital within our business, enabling self-service of information by myriad end users who would formerly burden individual SMEs directly with repetitive queries. As our business has evolved and grown we are seeing ever-more complex RfPs and the Library is an essential resource to enable a small RfP team complete a first draft of the response; we are typically able to complete at least 75% of an RfP with a response from the Library, then use the in-built workflow collaboration / participation tools to engage with SMEs to complete the rest with minimal off-platform admin (email or messaging). The user interface is super intuitive and has recently received a stylish and minimalist revamp. In fact, the initial user dashboard and Library interfaces are so intuitive that we have cases where staff have been able to participate in RfPs and search the Library just through exploring on their own and without any training.

Big names, big wins. The best trust Qvidian.

Tips for choosing the best proposal automation software.

Search for a software that contains all of the features you’re looking for. Pay particular attention to the features you will use daily such as content management, automation, and branding capabilities. Seek partners like Qvidian, who helped build the proposal management industry from the ground up and continually enhance their products with emerging technologies to, ensure they evolve alongside the demands of your business.

It’s not enough for an automation software to contain simple automation features, you should invest in a software that uses both machine learning and generative AI to automatically highlight and suggest relevant content, revise and rewrite existing content, and identify the most effective content that wins deals.

Additionally, focus on software with a robust central content library like Qvidian’s. You’ll want granular control over how your content is structured, organized, tracked, and used throughout your organization if you want to save time on every response.
You need software that supports virtual collaboration. In-application workflows and comment threads go a long way. Also, look for software that allows you to work together in real-time through Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, along with Micrsoft Teams, SharePoint and Salesforce.

Many proposal software solutions limit your view to only one question at a time. But when you are limited in this way, how can you ensure that you are answering RFPs in one consistent tone?  Instead, you want a software solution that gives you insight into the entire, completed proposal, no matter who you are, or where you are at, in creating a proposal.
The best proposal software will integrate with the tools you are already using to drive success. For example, the browsers the software supports, an effective integration with Microsoft Office, and working seamlessly with Salesforce are a few of the integrations that are going to play a critical role in choosing a software.

Whichever software you choose, it should work flawlessly with your existing tech stack. This way, authorized content managers can edit and format content with the full power of Office at their fingertips, instead of trying to use a watered-down editor that’s built into the software. 
Choose RFP automation software that’s backed by a company with an extensive history of providing top-notch customer service.

With an expert service and support staff boasting an average tenure of 10+ years, Qvidian’s commitment to our customers is unwavering. With 24/7 customer support via phone, email, and online chat, users can get assistance whenever they need it.
Your RFP automation software should be useful for more than just responding to RFPs. Pick a software, like Qvidian, that helps with you with all types of sales content including DDQs, Security Questionnaires, Sales Proposals and Presentations, RFQs, RFIs, statements of work, and so much more!
