The ehotel® RFP (Request for Proposal) solution enables companies to efficiently create, manage and evaluate supplier proposals. Designed for procurement departments looking for a standardised way to evaluate suppliers, it offers extensive functionality to optimise the entire procurement process. The tool is specifically tailored to support travel managers and procurement professionals in process-driven organisations by reducing manual tasks, increasing transparency and automating workflows.
Transparency is crucial in hotel procurement. With ehotel®’s RFP Tool, companies gain a clear overview of cost-saving opportunities and the suppliers offering the best conditions. This not only helps reduce effort and error rates but also saves time and costs – a clear competitive advantage in an increasingly dynamic procurement landscape.
Key Features
Template creation and management
Organisations can create and customise RFP templates to meet their specific requirements. This makes it easier to standardise RFPs and ensure consistency in supplier communications. Templates can be quickly updated and reused multiple times.
Automate processes for greater efficiency
With the ehotel® RFP tool, workflows can be standardised to ensure that steps such as distributing RFPs or sending reminders to suppliers occur automatically. This reduces manual effort and greatly supports hotels in meeting RFP deadlines.
Supplier management and benchmarking
The tool provides centralised management of suppliers and their proposals. Clear comparison features allow procurement teams to review and evaluate bids based on criteria such as price, service quality, and delivery terms. This makes it easier to identify and choose the best supplier.
Collaboration tools
The RFP tool streamlines collaboration. Teams can access RFPs in real time, track changes and provide feedback. In addition, external stakeholders can be easily integrated into the process, increasing transparency and information flow.
Analysis and reporting
Detailed reporting and analysis provides organisations with valuable insight into the entire procurement process. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), such as the average lead time for RFPs or the success rate of proposals, are visualised to support data-driven decision making.
