Case Study: Bidfood streamlines tender management and product matching with Altura

How Bidfood embraces convenience and automation with Altura

Bidfood, a large foodservice wholesaler, faced significant challenges in its bid management process. Their manual, error-prone product matching was extremely time-consuming, taking up to a full workweek per tender. Furthermore, data and documents were scattered across multiple files, creating inefficiencies and making it difficult to prepare customized client solutions. Seeking to move beyond simple digitization, they turned to the vendor Altura for an AI-driven solution.

Altura implemented its bid management platform to centralize the entire process from pre-tender to evaluation. The solution featured AI-driven tools like the Product Matcher, which accelerated matching from 30 items per hour manually to 1500 times faster, saving several days of work per tender. Other features like Document Chat and Proposal Search streamlined information retrieval and content reuse. As a result, Bidfood gained immense efficiency, improved oversight, and established a structured, collaborative foundation for all its bid management activities with Altura.
