The challenge iSmile Faced

iSmile regularly bids on government contracts through Requests for Proposals (RFPs) at the federal, state, and local levels. These RFPs are often complex, with inconsistent formats and incomplete information on the requested products. Manually identifying matching items within iSmile’s inventory was time-consuming and labor-intensive, slowing down their bidding process and reducing efficiency.

The Solution That Made It Work

iSmile implemented 86 Insights to streamline the RFP response process. By leveraging the platform’s AI-driven technology, iSmile was able to quickly cross-reference requested products in institutional RFPs to comparable items in their inventory, even when the information provided was incomplete or unclear.

Key Benefits Delivered by 86 Insights:

Faster Product Cross-Referencing for RFPs

By using 86 Insights, iSmile was able to reduce the time needed to prepare RFP responses by 70%, while increasing the accuracy of their bids, resulting in greater efficiency and a higher volume of RFP submissions and conversions.
