About the Client
Our client is a global, award-winning market research company offering digital-first products and solutions. They specialize in providing data-driven insights into customer behavior through consumer analytics and agile research, enabling businesses to make informed decisions and drive growth.
Business Challenge
Manual bid management became a growth bottleneck in a hyper-competitive market
The client’s bid management process was heavily reliant on manual workflows. With thousands of RFPs to handle annually, they struggled with slow response times, inconsistent vendor selection, and lack of actionable insights. This limited their ability to compete effectively and scale profitably.
Key pain points
- Slow bid responses: Manual extraction and preparation caused delays, leading to missed opportunities.
- Inconsistent vendor selection: SME-dependent decisions resulted in inefficiencies and variable quality.
- Lack of pricing intelligence: No predictive insights to offer competitive, data-driven pricing.
- Poor demand visibility: Reactive planning increased costs and reduced operational agility.
- Fragmented workflows: Limited collaboration and lack of accountability slowed execution.
The client needed an intelligent, scalable bidding system that could accelerate responses, improve win rates, and optimize operations end-to-end.
The Zuci Solution
Agentic AI transforming manual bidding into a competitive advantage
At Zuci, we engineered an AI-native bidding system under our Activate Engineering framework, embedding intelligence at the core of the client’s operations. Rather than simply automating tasks, we reimagined the workflow through multi-agent orchestration, human-in-the-loop (HITL) design, and explainable AI reasoning, enabling faster, more accurate, and fully transparent outcomes.
How the Agentic AI System Worked:
-
Automated RFP Processing & Faster Responses
Zuci introduced Email Parsing Agents to automatically capture requirements from incoming RFPs, while Bid Estimation Agents generated accurate cost estimates in real time. This shift reduced effort from days to hours, enabling the client to achieve 2× faster responses while maintaining accuracy across complex RFP formats.
-
Smarter Vendor Selection with Accountability
To address inconsistencies in vendor decisions, we deployed Vendor Qualification Agents that analyzed past performance, pricing history, and delivery reliability. Recommendations were validated through a human-in-the-loop checkpoint, allowing experts to weigh in at critical junctures. The result was a trusted decision-making process that led to a 25% higher bid-to-win ratio.
-
Predictive Forecasting & Competitive Pricing
We strengthened pricing intelligence with Demand Sensing Agents that delivered forward-looking forecasts of panel requirements. By combining AI reasoning with rule-based checks, the system improved forecasting accuracy and reliability. This visibility empowered the client to adopt competitive pricing strategies, achieve 90% demand forecasting accuracy, and submit 30% more bids without additional headcount.
-
Seamless Collaboration & Full Transparency
Collaboration was streamlined by integrating the AI-powered workflow into Microsoft Teams, ensuring real-time updates, approval tracking, and audit trails. With multi-agent orchestration, the system adapted instantly to new information, eliminating bottlenecks and maintaining accountability. Every decision became explainable and transparent, creating a resilient and scalable bidding process.
Zuci has been part of our team since 2021, starting with testing services and eventually evolving into areas including mobile app development, web engineering, test automation, and business analytics. From day one, Zuci goes beyond their value proposition.
