"Game changer for our proposal operations”
Overall: The proposal automation software itself is great, but the true stars of the show are the Expedience team--they are experienced proposal writers and Microsoft Word experts who understand the RFP response process. My support team is always looking for ways to improve the user and administrator experience, and they just love sharing pro tips and tricks. They have been amazing to work with, I always get a quick response when I have a question, and they always leave me better off than before I asked! The true value in the product is their expertise and flexibility. They're so invested in improving the user experience that it's like having a team of developers customize a solution for our company--the value is incredible, and the possibilities and features are limitless.

Proposal Elements, Consistent & Customizable
Creating Custom Styles
Microsoft Word styles can be freely created and modified within Expedience. Expedience uses MS Word styles to control all content presentation parameters such as font, color, size, margins, headings, tables, etc. Expedience will create custom Microsoft Word styles specific to your branding requirements during the onboarding process,. These custom styles will be applied to all proposal content in the content library to provide ultimate flexibility allowing you to change, shift, or update the presentation of these styles on a specific proposal (should a customer’s require specific formatting) or to make global branding changes.
Using Styles with RFPs
Many Expedience customers choose to make an RFP template ‘shell’ with all common elements such as branded cover pages, cover letters, and a place to insert questions from the customer’s RFP directly within the RFP template. The Style Palette will provide a quick and consistent approach to align all the proposal content with your corporate branding and styles. Conversely, if you need to match the proposal content to the target RFP formatting, you can do so by matching the custom styles in the Proposal Content Library to the fonts and margins of the RFP.

Why Expedience?
RFP response software should work where proposal writers work. A key difference between Expedience and other niche proposal tools is that Expedience Software is built directly in Microsoft Office. Proposal writers primarily use Microsoft Word and Excel to respond to RFPs and construct proposals and other sales documents.
Proposal Teams
The Expedience Content Libraries organize content according to how it may be consumed by a proposal or sales team throughout the request for proposal response process. The structure of RFP libraries is flexible and dictated by the needs of the proposal writer, making both browsing and searching easy and intuitive. Responding to RFPs made easy.
Sales Teams
Expedience provides RFP Response tools specifically designed for salespeople. We help proposal managers package their proposal-ready content, their policies, and their expertise into simple and intuitive sales tools to enable sales teams to deliver fast, professional, winning proposals and RFP responses.
Collaborate with Subject Experts
RFP content updates require subject matter experts to engage in the process of reviewing and suggesting updates. Gaining engagement and compliance of subject experts, who commonly view this activity as ‘outside of their job’ is a major challenge. Being in Microsoft Word, a familiar application and format that does not require a separate login or learning curve greatly improves the user adoption of our RFP software – especially with the subject expert community.
Keep Competive Content Safe
With Expedience Software, you never lose control of your RFP content. You won’t have to upload your strategic proposal content to any other server. Our software lets you remain in complete control of your sensitive content. Distribute it as you see fit – your private network, SharePoint, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.
Never Leave Microsoft Office
The hallmark of the Expedience RFP Response Suite is its interconnectedness with Microsoft Word, along with Microsoft Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint. This is because we understand that Microsoft Word and the Microsoft Office Suite are the primary workspaces for proposal writers.
