From eight hours to 90 minutes per RFP draft
A professional services firm now drafts request for proposal (RFP) responses five times faster, saving 6.5 hours on each one. Built around content the team already had, and designed to scale across countries and project types, the monō workflow prepares a draft for people to review.
The workflow at a glance
Preparing an RFP response took around eight hours of drafting. We helped the firm shorten that process using its existing content, with the team retaining control of the response.

StrategyStart where the time cost is clear
The team began with RFP drafting, where the time burden was clearest. The focus was specific: reduce the time needed to prepare a draft while keeping people responsible for reviewing the response.
TechnologyBuilt for scale from the outset
We built an RFP drafting workflow on the monō platform, using content the firm already had. It was designed from the start to work across countries and project types, applying one globally consistent methodology, rather than a tool one person builds for their own team. The workflow prepares the draft; a person reviews it and decides what goes forward.
DeploymentPut it into practice with the team
We worked with the team to move the drafting workflow into production. The team now owns it, with people continuing to review the output.
Results6.5 hours less drafting per response
Drafting time fell from around eight hours to 90 minutes per RFP response: proposals go out five times faster. The same team can respond to more opportunities, with more of its time on the work that needs its expertise.
