Open

AnyCRM. Documents.

It arrives

An RFP from Greta Voss, Procurement Lead at Northsky Logistics, lands in the Unibox with the document attached. Filed on the deal, activity logged.

Questions

61 questions laid out in seven sections: company 8, security and compliance 14, delivery model 9, transition and ramp 7, service levels 11, technology and AI 6, commercials 6.

Drafting

Each answer is drafted with its source named: the deal record, a dated call, a file on the account, a previous proposal. 54 answered from the record, 5 need review, 2 have no source.

Routing

The two unanswered questions become tasks with owners and due dates, on the deal: voice biometrics to Elif Demir by Thursday, weekend service levels to Aidan Cole by Wednesday.

Review

A consistency check flags a draft that says four weeks to ramp against a call that said six, in two phases, and offers the corrected line with the quote and its date.

Risk

Deal health drops to 62 and a risk flag reads: the RFP asks for a capability no call has ever discussed. Voice biometrics appears twice in the security section and in none of fourteen meetings.

Your call

Three moves offered: schedule a scoping call with Dana Okafor, assign the question to the delivery head, or note the gap in the response as a proposed option. Nothing is written until one is picked.

Resolved

The scoping call becomes a task, the answer is written from it, and the flag turns green. 61 of 61 answered from the record, deal health back to 74.

Export

DOCX in their template and question order, PDF for the file, and a read-only link. Filed on the deal, activity logged, next step set.

      Gap

    The questions are grouped by section with a count, and each one is drafted from the deal record, a dated call, a file on the account or a previous proposal. Each answer carries the source it came from.

  3. 3

    A gap no call has covered.

    Sample

    The RFP asks for a capability no call has ever discussed.

    Deal health down

    An RFP that asks for a capability no call has ever discussed drops the deal health and raises a flag naming the gap. Three moves come with it: book the scoping call, assign the question, or note the gap as a proposed option. You pick one, and the flag follows the work until the answer is sourced.

  4. 4

    It leaves in their format.

    Explanation

    Voice biometrics appears twice in the security section. Fourteen meetings on this account, and not one mention of it. An unanswered security question is where enterprise deals stall.

    Voice biometrics, answered and sourced.

    The scoping call is booked, the answer is written from what was agreed on it, and the question now cites a dated call like every other line.

Where the answers come from

The record you already have.

An RFP asks what the account has already told you, in a different order. The answers are in the calls, the files and the proposals you have already sent.

The deal

Stage, value, terms and the history behind them

The buying committee

Who asked, who signs, who has never been in the room

Meeting transcripts

Dated, quoted, and cited on the answer they produced

The output

The response in their format

Every line points back at one of these.

Activities

What was sent, said and agreed, in order

Files on the account

Security summaries, certificates, diagrams

Past proposals

What you have already committed to in writing

What you receive

Documents, not a dashboard.

Procurement gets a document in the shape they asked for, and you get the two questions nobody could answer as tasks with names on them.

What we heard, in their words.

  • The problem

    Answering an RFP means five people re-reading calls they were on.

    A sales director

  • The problem

    The security section asks the same fourteen questions every time.

    A head of delivery

  • The problem

    Nobody can tell me which answer came from what we actually agreed.

    A bid manager

Questions

The honest answers.

Does it answer the whole RFP on its own?

No. It drafts what the record can answer and says so, in colour. Where nothing on the account answers a question it writes nothing and raises a task with an owner instead.

Where do the answers come from?

The deal record, dated meeting transcripts, activities, files on the account and previous proposals. Every drafted answer names its source, and you can read the line it came from.

What happens if a draft contradicts what we said on a call?

The consistency check flags it, shows the quoted line with its date, and offers the corrected wording. You choose whether to take it.

Can we still edit it?

It is a draft until a person says otherwise. Edit any answer, and the source chip stays on the line so the next reader knows where it started.

Does anything get sent automatically?

No. Nothing leaves and nothing writes to the CRM until you approve it.
