MatterFor sales and proposal teams answering RFPs and RFIs.
RFP responses, drafted from your documents.
Stop chasing subject-matter experts for the same answers every quarter. Upload past responses and product documentation, import the RFP, and review cited drafts the same day.
No credit card. No answer library to build first.
The problem
Every RFP restarts the same internal scavenger hunt.
The deadline is fixed, the spreadsheet has 300 rows, and the answers live in last quarter's responses, the product docs, and three experts' heads. Proposal managers spend the window chasing people instead of sharpening the pitch, and the response that finally ships is assembled, not written.
Mattercite turns what your team has already written into the first draft. Upload winning responses and documentation once; every future RFP drafts from them, with each answer cited to its source so you know it is current and correct before it goes out.
Workflow
From inbox to submitted response.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Import the RFP | Paste it or drop the file as received: Excel, CSV, Word, or PDF. Question numbering and boilerplate are stripped, only the questions remain. Rows that already contain answers import as answered. |
| 2. Draft from your material | Answers draft from past responses, product documentation, and any Q&A list you import. Each carries a citation to the source passage. |
| 3. Review, approve, export | Edit what needs editing, approve the rest, and export PDF, Excel, or CSV on your letterhead. Unanswerable questions surface as N/A so you can route them to the right expert early. |
Why teams switch
The library-free approach.
- First value the same day. No weeks of answer-bank curation before the tool earns its keep.
- Consistency across responses. Answers draft from the same source set every time, so two RFPs in one quarter do not contradict each other.
- SME time protected. Experts review flagged gaps instead of re-answering the same 40 questions per deal.
- It compounds. Each completed response becomes source material for the next one.
Questions
The short version.
Does Mattercite handle RFIs as well as RFPs?
Yes. RFIs, RFPs, and vendor onboarding questionnaires all import the same way: paste the question list or drop the file it arrived in (Excel, CSV, Word, or PDF).
We answer from tribal knowledge, not documents. Does this still work?
Capture it once: upload past winning responses and any product or company documentation, or import an existing Q&A list as CSV or Excel. Mattercite drafts from all of it, and each new answered RFP becomes source material for the next one.
How is this different from an RFP answer library?
Answer libraries need weeks of curation before first value and drift out of date. Mattercite answers from your current documents directly, cites each answer to its source, and reflects document updates automatically.
Can the response go out in our branding?
Yes. Export the finished response as PDF, Excel, or CSV with your logo and letterhead.
