The Challenge

A time-consuming manual RFP process was limiting growth potential and consuming valuable billable hours.
This consultancy specialized in environmental impact assessments and regulatory compliance for industrial projects. While their expertise was in high demand, their RFP response process was entirely manual and time-consuming. Each RFP required 3-4 hours of work: extracting requirements from PDF documents, searching through folders of past proposals for relevant sections, coordinating with subject matter experts via email chains, and manually formatting everything in Word documents.
With 8-12 RFPs per month, the process was consuming 30-35 hours of billable time weekly. The manual nature also led to inconsistencies in proposals and occasionally missed requirements, resulting in some lost opportunities despite their technical competence.
