RFP360 is used across various different departments, but mostly by sales. RFP360 is a very user friendly tool that allows you to consolidate, fill out, submit, and delegate tasks during the RFP process, which is usually something that is very time consuming and tedious. It shortens up the entire process from start to finish and I especially enjoy the fact that you can upload, pick and pull, copy and paste from past rfps into it. The entire userface is very easy to use and navigable, and delegating tasks to others is an absolute breeze.
  • Sleek, modern design
  • Fast to use
  • Efficient
  • CSM team walking you through steps
  • Upload past RFPs to pick and pull
  • Learning how to properly upload your old RFPs
  • Having to tag certain answers manually
  • Need internet connection (no offline)
Massive RFP workload- juggling several at a time, filling out answers that are similar. This works incredibly if you have past RFPs to load into the answer bank. It cuts out the time required for completing new ones, while keeping things organized and at forefront. RFP360 streamlines the entire process, giving you at a glance what you need to do when. The Google Chrome add on extension works very well, as well as the microsoft word and excel plugins. The tools given in RFP360 allow one to fill things out at a much quicker pace while having all past answers available, making it easy to update new ones.

  • Assigning tasks to team members and reviewing final responses before approval is a breeze
  • More success submitting rfps
  • Staying organized
  • Winning of more RFP scenarios
None, RFP360 is the first and the last one we will use always. It is the best, I am not sure of other competitors but I have zero desire to even look for them. Everything you need is inside this one software, and if you have past RFPs you can juggle in, it is an absolute breeze and perfect.
