RFPflow runs every sourcing event type on the same system, from a shortlist RFI to a priced RFQ. Templates, cloned events, milestone reminders and one dashboard replace the inbox and the tracker spreadsheet. Definition ## What is RFx management software? RFx management software runs every type of sourcing request, requests for information, proposals and quotations, in one system with shared templates, supplier records, milestones and reporting, so a team manages many events at once instead of one spreadsheet each. In [RFPflow](https://aavenir.com/solutions/rfp-management-software/), many teams run an RFI to build a shortlist, then an RFP or RFQ with the suppliers on it. Each event uses templates and milestones, sends automatic supplier reminders, and reports through preconfigured dashboards, on ServiceNow or standalone. - RFI to shortlist, RFQ for specified needs, RFP for complex ones - Templates, milestones and automatic supplier reminders on every event - Clone a past event instead of rebuilding it - One dashboard and 20+ preconfigured reports across events Our customers ## Procurement, legal, IT, finance, and sales teams run their contracts on Aavenir. American Seafoods Group T.D. Williamson Thrive Express Employment Professionals MUFG State of Utah How it works ## Choose the event, then run many at once. - RFI when you are still learning who can deliver RFQ when the need is specified and price decides RFP when how the work is done matters as much as price. - Clone a past event with its questions and criteria Category templates keep events consistent Milestones and reminders come with the template. - One dashboard for every event All supplier messages in one place 20+ preconfigured reports cover each event.

Fifty a year is an operation. RFx management matters most when events repeat by quarter, by category and by site. ### Quarterly RFQs by email A petfood manufacturer ran quarterly raw material RFQs on email and Excel, with no view across sourcing stages and no consolidated history. ### Tenders by the dozen A mining company runs 80 to 100 tenders a year for critical services. It reported a [25% faster sourcing cycle](https://aavenir.com/case-study/accelerate-sourcing-cycle-by-25-source-to-contract/) on Aavenir. ### No history to compare Every closed event stays on record, so last year's prices and scores are there for the next one.

An RFI gathers information to build a shortlist. An RFQ asks for prices on a need that is fully specified. An RFP asks suppliers to propose how they would meet a more complex need, with price as one of several weighted criteria. [See RFP creation](https://aavenir.com/solutions/rfp-creation-software/). ### ### What is RFx management software? RFx management software runs RFIs, RFPs and RFQs in one system, with templates, supplier invitations, responses, scoring, pricing rounds and the award record. It replaces a separate spreadsheet and inbox for every sourcing event. [See RFPflow](https://aavenir.com/solutions/rfp-management-software/). ### ### Can RFPflow run recurring RFQs for raw materials? Yes. A global premium petfood manufacturer moved its quarterly raw material sourcing from email and Excel to RFPflow on ServiceNow, and reports 100% digitized and automated RFx with flexible split awards.
