Is your RFx process still manual? Here’s why that’s holding your business back

65% of procurement teams still use Excel sheets to manage sourcing events (RFP/RFQ/RFI), according to Deloitte 2025.That doesn’t just cause delays, it also leaves millions in savings uncaptured.

Why it matters nowOrganizations with digital RFx processes achieve up to 27% faster cycle times and, on average, 12% more captured savings.Staying manual is an unnecessary bottleneck in 2025.

Checklist to digitize your RFx process:

• Standardize the workflow: from intake to award, with clear stage gates.

• Adopt eSourcing tools: collaborative platforms with traceability and auditable logs.

Measure outcomes: cycle time, response quality, % compliance, and savings generated.

Examples:

1. A regional hotel group cut average award time from 22 days to just 9 after implementing SAP Ariba. Result: 18% more savings in indirect categories.

2. Regional retailer → migrated RFQs to an eSourcing platform → reduced lead time from 12 to 5 days + improved deliverable compliance by 18%.
