From Vision to Vendor: Preparing a Successful RFP

Client or Partner:

Global port terminal operator operating a high-volume container terminal in a major transshipment hub

Service Offering:

Challenge:

The operator aimed to procure a digital solution for yard orchestration — but needed to clearly define what was required before going to market.

What we did:

▪️ Defined functional and technical specs in a structured format
▪️ Supported alignment workshops with stakeholders pre-RFP
▪️ Worked with procurement to shape the RFP document

Impact / Outcomes:

✅ Reduced ambiguity and risk in RFP process
✅ Vendors evaluated against clear, relevant criteria
✅ Faster decision-making with cross-functional input embedded
