What is a supply chain software RFP?
A Request for Proposal (RFP) is a structured document buyers send to vendors to compare solutions on the same playing field. A good RFP turns vague vendor demos into apples-to-apples answers on requirements, integrations, pricing, and security so you can pick with confidence.
Key features
Clear requirements
Spell out what the system must do, what is nice-to-have, and what is out of scope.
Evaluation criteria
Define how you will score answers so the decision is objective, not based on the loudest sales pitch.
Integrations & data
List the systems that must connect (TMS, WMS, ERP, accounting) and the data formats you need.
Security & compliance
Capture SOC 2, GDPR, data residency, and insurance requirements upfront so deal-breakers surface early.
Pricing model
Ask vendors to quote in your model (per user, per shipment, flat) so you can compare totals, not just rate cards.
Implementation & timeline
Get vendors to commit to a realistic go-live plan with named owners and milestones.
Who uses it
Buyers evaluating multiple vendors
Skip months of back-and-forth — get structured answers from your shortlist in days.
Operators planning a switch
