One example of a company that has successfully implemented procurement software for RFQ management is Sunrise Corporation. Prior to using the software, Sunrise struggled with manual, paper-based RFQ processes which were time-consuming and error-prone. After implementing the software, Sunrise reported a 50% increase in efficiency and a 25% reduction in supplier non-compliance. Additionally, the company experienced a 15% reduction in the cost of goods sold.
Another example is Epsilon Inc, which implemented procurement software for RFQ management and saw a 40% increase in supplier response rates, a 35% reduction in RFQ cycle time, and a 20% reduction in the cost of goods sold.
In both of these cases, the implementation of procurement software for RFQ management led to cost savings, increased efficiency, and improved supplier compliance. These benefits can be attributed to the automation of manual processes, the ability to easily track and manage RFQs, and the ability to quickly analyze and make data-driven decisions. With FactWise, procurement teams can create best-in-class RFQs in less than a minute, communicate with multiple vendors at the same time via chat and other in-built features, thereby eradicating the need for dependence on emails and phone calls.

Procurement software can also help to improve supplier relationships by providing an efficient and streamlined communication channel for RFQs and other procurement-related activities. This can lead to increased supplier loyalty and better negotiation power.
In conclusion, procurement software for RFQ management can provide a wide range of benefits for companies, including cost savings, increased efficiency, improved supplier compliance and better supplier relationships. Companies like Sunrise Corporation and Epsilon Inc have already experienced these benefits and have reported significant improvements in their RFQ processes.
