Whether you’re an international NGO or a private sector enterprise working in the field of international development, an effective proposal management strategy is the cornerstone of your long-term success. Proposal management is an umbrella term that refers to the overall process of transforming opportunities into successful ventures. In today’s fast-paced and modern world, the ability to effectively monitor and manage proposals is often the one thing that determines whether you will win a lucrative contract or lose it to a rival.
However, there are a number of challenges inherent in proposal management, including maintaining effective control over documents, productive collaboration amongst team members, and keeping track of bids. As such, businesses and organizations can struggle with the complex task of needing to both tailor proposals and staying on top of strict deadlines.
Thankfully, when it comes to proposal management, there is an app custom-built to serve the needs of charities, NGOs, and businesses working in the aid sector. BidNexus.Ai was designed from the ground up to give organizations working in the field of international development a one-stop-shop to identify opportunities for proposals, manage them across all teams and stakeholders, securely store and archive related documents, conduct research, and keep a real-time eye on the progress of every single proposal.
Why does an efficient proposal management system matter?
Unfortunately, many organizations involved in international development are often unaware of the negative impact that poor proposal management can have on their revenue, as well as their relationships with clients and donors. The first casualty is that many opportunities are lost, leading to decreased growth potential. But beyond that, organizations can ruin their reputation by submitting inconsistent, late, or poorly organized bids, losing trust and confidence from their peers.
It not only allows organizations to quickly and deftly respond to opportunities but also dramatically reduces the chance of errors and inconsistencies, thus helping to foster a more professional reputation.
It is precisely for these reasons that the folks at DevelopmentAid, the world’s leading provider of international development information and data, designed the BidNexus proposal management app. Running securely on a cloud, BidNexus allows every team member, using their own preferred device, to collaborate and manage every aspect of the proposal lifecycle, from identifying promising opportunities all the way to customizing proposals and tracking deadlines.

The benefits of using BidNexus
It may be hard to believe, but there are still many organizations working in the field of sustainable development that still rely on a hodgepodge of spreadsheets, messaging apps, Word documents, and even paper records to “manage” their proposal process. In all the chaos, documents can be misplaced, deadlines can slip by unnoticed, and valuable opportunities can be lost. It can be even worse – sometimes the process is tied to a single person who controls and “remembers”everything. If that person is out – things can become really nasty.
BidNexus, on the other hand, is a streamlined, intuitive app that takes only minutes to learn how to use. It also keeps your organization’s institutional memory. Whether your organization has hundreds of team members, or you’re a smaller outfit, the BidNexus app makes the entire proposal management process smooth and painless, with everything instantly available at the click of a button. Whether you want to assign a task to a team member, conduct research, or track your interactions (and expenses) with expert consultants, BidNexushas everything instantly available at your fingertips.
Unlike some apps that are bloated and overloaded with features, BidNexus was designed from the ground up to do one thing and do it really well: making the management of your proposal process simple, easy, and extremely efficient.
