Case Study: Cherokee Federal boosts proposal productivity and quality with VisibleThread

How Cherokee Federal’s Proposal Team Boosted Productivity And Improved Quality With VisibleThread

Cherokee Federal, the federal contracting division of Cherokee Nation Businesses, faced significant challenges in managing its high-volume proposal process. Their team was spending excessive time manually analyzing RFPs and documentation, leading to inefficiencies, stretched resources, and a need to improve win rates. To address this, they turned to the vendor VisibleThread and implemented their VT Docs platform.

By integrating VisibleThread's VT Docs, the team automated manual tasks like creating compliance matrices and acronym lists, which drastically improved productivity and reduced human error. The solution enabled deeper analysis, more collaborative proposal building, and a strategic review process. The measurable impact included time savings of several hours per task, a more motivated team, and a jump from #120 to #54 in Bloomberg’s ranking of government contractors. Cherokee Federal was so satisfied that they signed a multi-year deal with VisibleThread.
