What is smartRFI?
smartRFI enables systematic and transparent vendor research and automates the entire request process.
- You receive tailored, comparable quotes for your project, including reliable cost estimates.
- You compile the relevant information that software vendors need to respond to your request realistically.
- Using AI, you compile the right distribution list for your project from more than 5,700 software vendors.
- You engage in dialogue with the right contacts at the vendor to ensure your requirements are understood.
Two flexible pricing models—you choose!
1. Free use for customers – Participation fee for vendors MY TIP
- You will specifically receive offers from vendors who can precisely meet your project requirements and are convinced of their offer.
- Ideal if you have defined your requirements precisely and prefer high-quality, perfectly fitting solutions.
- Preferred by me when I support your process as a coach or consultant
2. License fee for customers – free participation for vendors
- You may receive more offers, including from vendors who might present new perspectives and alternative solutions, but perhaps also more “quantity over quality.”
- Ideal if your requirements still offer flexibility and you are open to various solution approaches.

Basis for a detailed request for quotation (RFQ)
Use this basis to subsequently place a detailed request for quotation including a detailed requirements specification etc. with the relevant providers (shortlist). I would be happy to explain how this works and the advantages it provides personally and individually.
TIA knows its stuff

TIA (Trovarit Intelligent Assistant) works similarly to the well-known ChatGPT, but was specifically trained by Trovarit’s selection specialists for the questions that are relevant during the selection and request process for business software projects.
