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 create the right distribution list for your project from more than 5,000 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. License fee for customers – free participation for vendors

• You receive more quotes, including from vendors who may offer new perspectives and alternative solution approaches.
• Ideal if your requirements still allow some flexibility and you are open to innovative solutions.

2. Free use for customers – participation fee for vendors

• Fewer quotes, but targeted from vendors who can truly meet your project requirements precisely and are confident in their offer.
• Ideal if you have defined your requirements precisely and prefer high-quality, perfectly fitting solutions.
