Critical Business Challenges

Time-Consuming Bidding:
The tender bidding process for government contracts is highly time-consuming, with a single bid taking up to 7 days.
Resource Heavy:
Bidding required the involvement of multiple team members, from sales to technical, in repetitive tasks.
Error-Prone Work:
The process involved manually sifting through 100s of pages of tender documents, which is highly susceptible to human error.
Missed Opportunities:
The manual process made it difficult to keep track of submission deadlines and respond to new opportunities quickly.
