Case Study: a global PE-backed AEC firm accelerates proposal generation with Messina Group’s custom GenAI RAG solution

a global PE-backed professional services firm cuts proposal creation from hours to minutes with Messina Group

The customer, a global PE-backed professional services firm in the AEC industry, faced a labor-intensive and inefficient manual process for retrieving historical sales proposals and generating new ones. This challenge, driven by unstructured data across multiple platforms and reliance on tribal knowledge, led to increased costs and missed revenue opportunities. The Messina Group collaborated with the client to identify this as a top priority for AI-enablement.

Messina Group designed and implemented a custom Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) application on Microsoft Azure. This solution automated the data retrieval and synthesis process, drastically reducing the time to generate proposals from hours to minutes. The results included increased efficiency, enhanced accuracy, and a scalable solution that minimized manual effort and reliance on tribal knowledge, allowing the client to capitalize on more revenue-generating opportunities.
