A new, strategic role for bid managers and bid teams

Bid management has changed drastically over the past 5 years.

Government digitization took off. The number of tenders doubled. There’s a shortage of talent and expertise. And to top it all off, organizations are under immense pressure to do more with less.

During a consulting project on innovation with one of the Netherlands’ largest engineering firms, we discovered that bid processes were severely overlooked. That’s when we embarked on a deep 2-year research journey into everything related to RFPs and tenders.

We found there were no innovative tech solutions that gave bid teams superpowers to win better bids faster. In many organizations, bid management was just an afterthought in sales.

We also saw that bid management data is a goldmine. But it’s often left unused, buried in Excel sheets and CRM dashboards. Yet this data could offer critical insights for making strategic investment decisions.

We’ve heard it often enough by now: bid directors know it can be more efficient, easier, and better. They just don’t know how. Our research also showed that 3 out of 4 teams are unhappy with their win rate.

All of this led to the launch of Altura in 2022 — the very first full-cycle bid management software. Our goal is crystal clear:

We want bid management to play a central role within companies, with bid managers taking on a strategic, visible position — backed by our technology.

Altura’s formula: combine data with technology to create a winning bid process. So teams submit better bids with the right data insights. So they can skip the mind-numbing tasks that get automated. And so they become a knowledge hub for the entire organization.

If you work in bid management, Altura is made for you. We hope you'll love the product and can't wait for you to try it.

je ons product geweldig zult vinden en kunnen niet wachten tot je het probeert.

Veelgestelde vragen

Omdat we jouw vragen voor willen zijn, geven wij hier alvast de antwoorden op een aantal veelgestelde vragen.

What is Altura?

Altura is a software solution for managing bids. Bid managers, sales managers and commercial directors use Altura to qualify incoming opportunities, plan bid projects across teams, write proposals using multiple data sources, and get reports on bid performance. We use AI to automate manual tasks, so bid managers can focus on strategy and value instead of admin work.

Who is Altura for?

Altura works for every industry and serves customers in various market segments. Our AI learns from previous tenders, and you can customize Altura to fit your organization’s specific needs and bid management processes.

What kind of bids is Altura compatible with?

Altura is compatible with both RFPs and Tenders. For Tenders, you can use our dedicated signaling tools, which connect to the most important sources of tenders in the Netherlands, Belgium, and the UK. For RFPs, you can create projects from scratch, upload your documents, and let Altura handle your tasks, qualifications, and writing just like any other bid.

How is Altura different from other solutions?

Altura supports the entire bid management process, unlike most tools that only focus on one specific aspect. This comprehensive approach sets us apart.

How does Altura save time in my bidding process?

Altura automates repetitive tasks in the bidding process, like collecting documents, extracting information from old proposals, and requesting approvals for you. This allows bid managers and salespeople to focus on strategy and winning bids, not admin work.

Is my data safe with Altura?

Yes, Altura ensures your data safety. We are ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and fully GDPR compliant. Our infrastructure is hosted within the EEA (EU), and we regularly have our security tested by third parties. In addition, we don’t share any data hosted in Altura to train external AI models.

“Altura saves me a lot of time in searching for information within documents.”
