Smart Ranking RFPs

Overview

Manufacturers can use the Smart Ranking system to prioritize Requests for Proposal (RFPs) according to their own set of criteria. This tool helps organize RFPs based on different criteria such as recurring customers, distance, and estimated order value.

Optimizing Smart Ranking for RFPs

Within the Requires Review tab on the Requests page, look for the Smart Ranking section in the right panel. From there, you can simply drag and drop to reprioritize the ranking of each item.

After making these adjustments, the system automatically updates to reflect changes to surface the best RFPs.
