The challenge

Bouygues Travaux Publics needed a more reliable way to review and verify information across a very large tender package. The existing workflow relied on manual analysis using Excel, Word, and SharePoint/drive-based file management, plus an internal tool for tender files. That process made it harder to manage repeated updates, locate the most relevant content quickly, and ensure searches were exhaustive in deep review workflows.

For a project team working across thousands of tender documents, the issue was not just speed. It was also confidence: teams needed to know they were finding the right excerpt, in the right source document, at the right moment.

Why the previous workflow created friction

  • Manual handling of document analysis and updates
  • Difficulty ensuring complete capture when searching native document versions
  • Slower collaboration in meetings when teams needed to locate and share exact supporting excerpts

The solution

Aitenders was introduced to make tender review faster and more reliable, with an initial focus on one high-value use case: searching across the very large number of documents in a complex tender package.

The platform scans documents and ranks them by precedence, helping users surface the most relevant documents and excerpts more efficiently.The Bouygues Travaux Publics team also found the tool easy to use, and training and support helped drive initial adoption.

"It's an ergonomic tool that helps us get into tender documents quickly."
