RFPs
Run your RFP as a live evaluation, not a document.
Build your requirements and shortlist vendors free. Upgrade when you are ready to bring vendors and your team in and run the evaluation all the way through.
The old way
An RFP document leaves your hands. Then the work starts.
You write the document, email it out, and wait. Answers come back in every vendor's own format. Someone builds the spreadsheet. Questions arrive one vendor at a time, and your stakeholders score from memory after the demos.
- Answers arrive in every vendor's own format
- Questions answered by email, one vendor at a time
- Scores compiled by hand after the demos
- Every vendor answers the same requirements in one place
- One shared question thread, answered once
- Scores compared automatically against your weighted requirements
Get started
Start from requirements, not a blank page.
Pick a category template or bring your own list. Select the requirements that matter, weight them, and assign them to the people who own them.
Shortlist vendors
See who fits before you contact anyone.
Olive scores vendors against the requirements you prioritized, so your shortlist starts from fit for your business, not from who paid to reach you.
“We recently did an RFP for a loyalty program and were looking at two top players. We wound up not choosing either of them, instead choosing a smaller player that checked more of our boxes.”
Anthony Mejia, Vice President Information Technology, Zippy's
