What does building a RFP Management app include?

Every engagement includes discovery, data architecture, UI/UX design, development, QA, and post-launch support — not just a build-and-handoff.

Discovery & Architecture

Requirements mapping, data modeling, integration planning, and platform-fit assessment before a single screen is built.

UI/UX Design

Wireframes and interactive prototypes designed for your users — not generic templates. Optimized for mobile and desktop.

Development & QA

Built by certified Glide experts with enterprise experience. Rigorous testing across devices, roles, and data volumes.

Launch & Support

User training, documentation, and ongoing maintenance. We don't disappear after deployment.

Key features of your RFP Management app

RFP Intake & Lead Queue

Capture inbound RFPs from direct inquiries, CVB referrals, and online platforms in a single queue with automatic lead scoring based on group size, dates, revenue potential, and decision timeline.

Proposal Builder & Template Library

Build proposals from pre-approved templates that pull in venue specs, pricing, and availability automatically — letting sales managers produce polished, complete proposals in minutes rather than hours.

Response Deadline Tracking

Track response deadlines per RFP with escalating alerts so sales managers and directors know which proposals are due today, this week, and at risk of going past deadline.

Win/Loss Analysis Dashboard

Track which RFPs convert to bookings, lost reasons, average response time, and revenue by segment — giving leadership the data to improve their win rate and prioritize the right business.

The Glide Sprint Process

How we build your RFP Management app

Discovery

Requirements, data modeling, and platform-fit assessment. We define scope before writing a line of logic.

Architecture

Data structure, security model, integration map, and user roles. The blueprint that prevents rework.

Build

Iterative development with weekly demos. You see progress, not just status updates.

QA & Launch

Cross-device testing, user acceptance, and production deployment with rollback safety.

Support

Ongoing maintenance, feature iterations, and scaling support. We don't disappear after launch.

Frequently asked questions about RFP Management apps

Can the app manage multi-property RFPs where the client wants options across several hotels?+

Yes. We build multi-property proposal workflows where a single RFP can receive responses from multiple properties in your portfolio — making it easy to present a coordinated group offer.

How do we track the status of an RFP through the negotiation process?+

Each RFP has a pipeline stage — received, under review, proposal sent, negotiating, contracted, lost — with notes and date stamps at each transition so your sales team always knows where every piece of business stands.

Can the app send proposals directly to clients as a branded link?+

Yes. Proposals can be shared as branded web links that clients can review, respond to, and sign without needing to email PDFs back and forth — speeding up the decision cycle.

Does the app integrate with the hotel's CRM or sales tools?+

We can connect the RFP app to Salesforce, HubSpot, or your existing group sales CRM via API — so won RFPs flow into the booking and contracting workflow without duplicate data entry.

How do we handle RFPs from booking platforms like Cvent or HotelPlanner?+

We build intake connectors or manual import workflows for leads from major RFP platforms — so every lead lands in the same system regardless of source, and nothing slips through in a separate inbox.
