Pearler is finally a product which I can really use for different answers to RFI's, RFQ''s and RFP's. A standard answer database on a lot of the standard questions regarding the products we offer. During the final bid your able to finalize the questions more to the need of the customer and in the order the customer has put out the questions.
A similar system I use gave me 40% speed, this saves me another 10%. What is it not yet? A full RFI/RFQ/RFP answer and follow up tool.
For that several items are still for improvement: 1: Risk Log: The risks related to the bid - We are going to keep managing this in the our project management tool. Hope it will be in the system one day. 2: Questions during the RFI/RFQ/RFP phase you want to ask to the customer who put the bid on the market. (After there answers you need to add those somewhere to be applied.) Hope it will be in the system one day. With the relation to the related Q/A part. - We are going to manage this in the our project management tool for now. 3: Working with external team members with question splits which have to be answered only by that party, now they become a full integrated part of the bid team, which might not desired, in that case you need to split there part to a separate project. Or you go to the enterprise edition.
The enterprise edition has quite some perks which come in handy for the bid department to keep track on there goals and benefits and not rely on the CRM and sales team on what they achieve. Also a bid team can have different goals then a sales team. Which makes this tool a big plus for many organizations who have multiple tenders per month/year. Also by making several "quality" and standard process questions easily answered, just put them in the answer database and the AI helps you to find and create the right answer. This saves ton's of time in many public tenders.
And in final, with the European companies doing bids, it would be nice if it will have a standard bid answering API with the Public tender mechanisms in the future.
