A revised, strategic role for bid managers and bid teams

In the past five years, there's been a big shift in bid management. The government's move to digital has doubled the number of tenders. But here's the catch: there aren't enough people with the right skills. Plus, companies are struggling to do more with less.

While consulting on innovation at a top Dutch engineering firm, we stumbled upon a major oversight: registration processes were being massively undervalued. This observation led us to a two-year deep dive into everything RFPs and tenders. Surprisingly, we found no cutting-edge tech solutions that really empower bid teams to win better and faster. Bid management often seems to be overshadowed by sales in many organisations.

Here's an interesting bit: bid management data is actually a hidden gem. This data is often buried in Excel sheets and CRM dashboards, yet it's a goldmine for strategic decisions.

It's a common sentiment among bid directors: things could be more efficient, simpler, and better. But the 'how' is often the missing piece. Our research also revealed that about three-quarters of teams aren't happy with their win rates.

All this ultimately led to the Version-1 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, and for bid managers, supported by our technology, to get a strategic position in the forefront of sales and revenue.

Altura's formula: combining data and technology to create a winning bid process. This strategy enables teams to generate superior registrations informed by precise data insights. It reduces mentally draining work by automating manual tasks. Furthermore, it transforms teams into valuable knowledge resources for the entire organisation.

If you work in bid management, then Altura is for you. We hope you will love our product and can't wait for you to try it.

Frequently Asked Questions

We'd like to answer your questions proactively. Here are the answers to some questions we get asked most frequently.

What is Altura and how does it work?

Altura is full-cycle bid management software. Users employ its project management, analysis and AI tools to win better tenders more quickly. They can spot opportunities, collaborate on proposals and improve their teams and tenders through data insights.

We use artificial intelligence to automate the process of making and submitting bids for RFPs and tenders. So that users can focus on strategy and value instead of menial, manual tasks.

How does Altura differ from other bid management solutions?

You can use Altura during the entire bid management process, which is unique because most tools only focus on one specific aspect of this process.

How does Altura save time in the bidding process?

Many steps in the bidding process are repetitive. Consider collecting documents, collecting input, extracting old texts or information from proposals, or providing feedback. Many of these repetitive and manual tasks can easily be automated by software or AI.

Altura does this for you. Not as a replacement, but rather as support. So that bid managers and sales people can focus again on strategy to win the bid. Don't send emails asking where that "one piece" is located.

Who is Altura for?

Altura works for every industry, and we serve customers in several market segments. Our AI algorithms are designed to learn from previous tenders. Besides, you can customise Altura to conform to the specific needs of your organisation, so the tool matches your industry and bid management processes.
