Better Proposals for RFP Management Alternative

Why RFP360.AI is the Best Alternative to Better Proposals for RFP Management

If you’re using Better Proposals for creating proposals but are seeking a more comprehensive, AI-powered solution to manage the entire RFP lifecycle, RFP360.AI is the platform you need. While Better Proposals is an excellent tool for creating visually engaging documents, it has limitations that prevent it from supporting the full RFP process. RFP360.AI offers a complete, AI-driven platform designed to handle everything from RFP creation and response generation to evaluation and collaboration. In this Insights, we’ll explore the challenges faced by Better Proposals users and explain why RFP360.AI is a superior alternative for RFP management.

Challenges with Better Proposals

While Better Proposals is a powerful tool for creating and sending proposals, it has several challenges when it comes to managing the full RFP lifecycle. Below are some key limitations

Limited Scope for Full RFP Lifecycle Management

Better Proposals is focused primarily on proposal creation and signing, but it lacks the end-to-end functionality that procurement teams need to manage the entire RFP lifecycle. Teams often have to rely on other tools for RFP creation, structured supplier Q&A, and vendor collaboration, making the process fragmented and inefficient.

Lack of Advanced AI-Powered Generation

While Better Proposals includes a Proposal AI feature to review content and suggest improvements, it lacks a robust AI-driven proposal generation capability that can automatically draft customized responses based on a company’s content library. This is particularly useful when teams need to create complex proposals based on recurring requirements.

Limited Analytics and Strategic Insights

While Better Proposals offers tracking features to monitor engagement, such as how long a client spent on a proposal, it lacks the advanced analytics needed for strategic procurement. It does not provide insights into supplier performance, win/loss trends, or cycle time metrics, which are crucial for improving future RFP strategies.

Manual Proposal Evaluation

Better Proposals does not offer automated scoring or AI-driven evaluation tools for proposals. Buyers must manually assess vendor responses, which is time-consuming and prone to inconsistency, especially when managing a large volume of submissions. This can lead to delays and errors in the evaluation process.

No Automated Compliance and Risk Management

Better Proposals does not provide automated compliance checks or risk management features. Buyers need to manually verify that proposals meet the required standards and regulations, which increases the chance of missing critical compliance elements and adds more work to an already complex process.

If you’re experiencing these challenges with Better Proposals and are seeking a comprehensive, AI-powered solution that automates and optimizes every stage of the RFP process, RFP360.AI is the ideal alternative. RFP360.AI supports both buyers and suppliers throughout the entire RFP lifecycle, from RFP creation and response generation to evaluation and collaboration.
