A telehealth hardware and software company with more RFPs than people to answer them

GlobalMed’s telehealth hardware and software bring care to people far from a hospital. Much of that work is won through public-sector RFPs. Sales reps found dozens of strong fits a month, but with only one proposal writer, they had to pick and choose between opportunities, so only a handful got a response.

Before, they submitted 10 RFPs in all of 2025; now they've submitted 19 RFPs in just 2 months.

Before, there was 1 proposal writer for every RFP; now 6 sales reps are writing proposals.

SharePoint Knowledge Base

Product files GlobalMed’s team keeps current in SharePoint, synced into every answer.

challenges

Why more RFPs didn’t mean more bids

Every RFP ran through one person, the answers lived in scattered files, and the tools GlobalMed tried couldn’t be trusted to stay current.

One writer for every RFP

Sales reps pulled strong-fit RFPs from bid sites every day, and every one landed with a single proposal writer. Each contained dozens of pages in no standard format and took 8 to 20 hours to work through, so most never got a response.

Answers scattered across files

Their complex specs sat in SharePoint, spreadsheets, and personal drives. Reps dug or pulled in the product team, and a missed detail, like a scanner swapped for a camera, could mean a lost government contract.

Off-the-shelf tools didn’t fit the workflow

GlobalMed had tried an RFP platform and NotebookLM. General AI drafts well, which is why it sits at the core of this system, but sources went stale, results varied by rep, and every new AI vendor meant another compliance agreement.

How we solved it

An AI proposal engine built into the tools GlobalMed already uses

It works from HubSpot and SharePoint, inside GlobalMed’s own AWS account, so reps got speed without changing how they work.

Every draft starts in HubSpot

Reps open a deal in HubSpot and attach the RFP, as they always have. The system reads it in the background and returns a summary, a bid strategy, and first-draft answers. Review steps for the proposal writer and sales lead update the deal, so leadership sees where each bid stands.

All data stays inside AWS

Compliance and security came first, so we took the simplest path: build everything inside GlobalMed’s own AWS account, where its business associate agreement already applied. Bedrock runs the models, Textract reads the PDFs, and OpenSearch holds the knowledge base.

A knowledge base GlobalMed runs

The knowledge base is the SharePoint library GlobalMed’s team already uses. Add a product file and every draft and chat answer knows about it; remove one and the system forgets it. Fixed facts like the company address come from one approved sheet, never from an old bid.

Every table row read on its own

RFPs arrive as PDFs with no standard layout and dense tables. Textract reads each table and stores every row as its own record. When a draft needs one figure, it pulls that row alone, so numbers from the line beside it never slip in.

What GlobalMed gained from partnering with us

More bids out, same headcount

GlobalMed submitted 10 bids in all of 2025. In its first two months on the system, the sales team submitted 14, more than the entire previous year, without adding headcount.

Bids picked on value, not capacity

The sales team ran 61 RFPs and RFIs through the system in June and July. With a summary for each, they can go after the highest-value bids, not just the few one writer could reach.

Product experts off RFP duty

Product specialists used to get pulled into RFP after RFP. Since rollout, they have spent almost no time on them, because reps get spec answers from the knowledge base and chat.

A system GlobalMed’s team runs

Everything the system knows lives in GlobalMed’s own SharePoint and AWS account. Its engineers are training to run it in-house, and every capability added next builds on the same foundation.
