I have been handling Corporate Transient RFPs for years and used many other electronic tools. RFP Express offers the best user-friendly format to manage the Hotels Request for Proposal, allowing customizing the NBTA questionnaire depending on the corporation's needs.

As a supplier and user of RFP Express for years, highly recommend its functionalities and services; one of the greatest features is the unsolicited bids, I received final agreements from corporations that I have not the opportunity to work with before. From the creation of the property profile to the evaluation of responses, the quality offered by RFP Express and the excellent customer service support team enhanced the value of the RFP process, for both the corporations and suppliers. What a wonderful e-tool to work with!
