Case Study: European Land-systems Prime achieves 20% faster time-to-market with SPREAD Requirements Manager

European Land-systems Prime speeds RFQ evaluation by 20% with SPREAD

The customer, a European defense land-systems prime, faced a bottleneck where senior engineers were overwhelmed by manually searching through prior programs to scope new RFQ bids. This scarcity of senior-engineer time caused them to decline many bidding opportunities. SPREAD implemented its Requirements Manager product to address this challenge.

SPREAD's solution automated the search process by matching new RFQ requirements against a graph of the customer's validated solutions, surfacing evaluable candidates with confidence scores. This shifted the engineers' role from searching to evaluating, reducing RFQ scoping from weeks to days. The results for SPREAD's customer included a 20% faster time-to-market, a 5% revenue uplift from attempting more bids, and the recovery of €20–60k in engineering costs per RFQ.
