Challenges
Our client is an individual service provider in a public sector unit. The public sector is gripping with everyday projects from enterprises of varied sizes and industries. Processing different business proposals with different complexities, information, solicits, hard data for comparison and analysis are dealt with on a regular basis in every business. With the amount of complicated information at hand, the client decided to streamline this set of information by developing an application that would create and manage RFPs of projects using this consolidated system. This application was developed to help buyers and procurement professionals invite bidders to participate in RFPs. It can also track, analyze and submit RFP documents.
With the same agenda, the client decided to develop an RFP management system with a marketplace where users can easily find all the organization/vendors/RFPs. As a county, the client had many municipalities registered under them who sent proposals with specific requirements, dates and deadlines.
Before deciding to develop an application, the client faced the following challenges in their day to day operations:
- Struggles in adopting and maintaining admin users.
- Automatically maintain RFP status by its close date.
- Marketplace listing pages where all Municipalities, Vendors and RFPs will be listed.
- Chat system for internal communication.
- Project and team management for multiple organizations.
The client approached TatvaSoft to develop this RFP management system where municipalities can upload their RFPs with specific end dates and vendors can send proposals on listed RFPs. The system also allowed the client to enable an internal chat system for in-house employees with real-time updates.
