Best practice everywhere
The key to expansion at BidExecs is local expertise backed up by a combination of industry experience, proven methods, and the absolute right tools and technology. This includes proprietary software built specifically for BidExecs to systematically manage workload, as well as commercial tools such as Citrix ShareFile and Microsoft SharePoint for proposal management, Smartsheet for scheduling, and PerfectIt for proofreading. Every franchisee gets the benefit of a complete system that works perfectly in delivering value and success to the industry.
Quality assurance and acronym checks
Winning proposals must be easy for decision makers to understand, so ProposalHelper uses PerfectIt to make sure that every acronym is defined on first use, and capitalization and hyphenation are consistent. In addition, PerfectIt helps every proposal feel as if it is written with one voice by ensuring that small details are correct. PerfectIt also generates a table of acronyms (ideal for government proposals) and its checking is customizable, so proposal teams benefit from a tool that is constantly improving.
Results
In an environment of very tight deadlines, PerfectIt has helped BidExecs reduce time spent proofreading by 30%. This has given the team more time to focus on content; and improve quality on every proposal.
Nationwide rollout (and beyond)
Combining human solutions, proven processes, and the latest technology is the key to how ProposalHelper has brought efficiency to the process of proposal creation.
As BidExecs uses that expertise to expand across 50 states (and potentially further), PerfectIt will be a critical part of the process to help a team of franchisees deliver winning proposals.

Our proposal teams rely on PerfectIt to clean up undefined abbreviations and assist with recommendations on improving the consistency in documents—it’s a huge time saver.
