Modernizing Proposal Development: Improving Tender Interpretation and Content Accuracy

SmartDev partnered with a Singapore-based IT services provider to deliver NORA, an AI-powered Agent that improves tender interpretation and proposal accuracy. By combining live tender documents with knowledge from past proposals, the solution enables faster understanding of requirements, effective content reuse, and more consistent proposal preparation. As a result, account teams can prepare higher-quality proposals with greater confidence, while newly onboarded team members become productive more quickly in live tender cycles.
