This template organizes your entire proposal pipeline so your team always knows what's due and who is responsible. It eliminates scattered email threads and buried documents by centralizing every detail.
It works by connecting Clients, RFPs, and individual Tasks together natively. When you view an RFP, you instantly see its status, attached documents, and the specific action items assigned to your team members.
Built-in AI automatically drafts executive summaries of complex RFPs and researches client company profiles from the web directly inside your tables.
When multiple team members collaborate on proposals, spreadsheets quickly fall apart. Deadlines get overwritten, attached bid documents get lost in folders, and seeing which tasks belong to which proposal requires endless scrolling.
In a structured system, your data stays perfectly organized no matter how many proposals you juggle. Every RFP clearly links to its respective client and assigned tasks without relying on fragile formulas.
Attachments like proposal drafts and bid documents stay neatly attached to their specific RFP record. This is exactly what Softr Databases are designed for—giving you a clean, reliable foundation.
Track your exact pipeline from receipt to Closed Won using a clear visual status field. Assign distinct ownership to designers, writers, and reviewers so nothing slips through the cracks.
Built-in AI can automatically pull client company profiles from their website and save them alongside the request. It also categorizes your individual tasks into Content, Review, or Pricing contextually so your team can focus on execution.

This system is built for teams that regularly respond to proposals, bids, and client pitches.
Start by customizing the database to perfectly match your bidding process. You can easily modify the RFP status dropdowns to reflect your specific stages like "Go/No-Go Review" or "Drafting."
Next, bring in your existing pipeline by doing a bulk CSV import. You can upload all historical RFPs and client details so your team has instant access to previous winning proposals.
When you're ready, you can build a full application on top of this structure to create a tailored proposal portal. This gives your internal team a clean view of their workload on any device.
By setting up users and permissions, you can ensure external contractors only see the specific tasks they are assigned to. A properly structured database makes scaling into a secure app completely completely seamless.

Yes, you can connect this database to an interface builder to create a fully customized internal portal.

Yes, this template is completely free to copy and start using immediately. Softr's free plan includes comprehensive database access so you can start managing your proposals right away. Higher-tier plans offer increased capabilities and data limits as your volume of bids grows.
Spreadsheets struggle with scalability and complex relationships, often resulting in messy, unlinked data across multiple tabs. A database natively connects your clients, proposals, and tasks together so you don't have to rely on easily broken formulas. It also enforces strict data types, ensuring dates stay as dates and documents remain securely attached to their parent records.
