01 / Team task management

Give each task an accountable owner

Break a bid into technical responses, pricing, evidence collection, review, and approval tasks. Record an owner and due date for each item so handoffs are explicit and unfinished work stays visible.

02 / Tender pipeline visibility

Track tender stages on a Kanban board

Move opportunities through discovery, qualification, preparation, review, and internal readiness. Make the current stage visible without losing unresolved tasks. Keep submitted, won, lost, and not-pursuing outcomes distinct from internal approval.

03 / AI email & correspondence

Keep every tender email in one shared conversation

Group buyer clarifications, internal replies, attachments, and decisions under the same tender. AI-assisted summaries help the team catch up, identify requested actions, and prepare reply drafts. Assign follow-up tasks to the right colleague and require human approval before any reply is sent.

CLEAR ANSWERS

FlowPilot: your questions, answered.

Visit the knowledge base ↗
What does FlowPilot do?

Organize tasks, surface dependencies and prepare follow-up actions for accountable owners. Your team controls assignments, external communication and final submission.

What is a tender Kanban board?

A tender Kanban board groups opportunities or tasks by stage. It gives the team a shared view of work in progress, blockers, and the next handoff.

Can I assign tender tasks to different team members?

The FlowPilot workflow assigns a named owner to each task and keeps its due date and status visible. Technical, commercial, and approval work can have different owners.

How does AI help with tender emails and correspondence?

AI can help summarise a tender’s email thread, identify requested actions, and suggest a reply draft. Keep all messages linked to the same tender so authorised team members can follow the context. A person should verify the summary, recipient, attachments, and response before sending.

Does this page connect to Microsoft Teams or Outlook?

No. The interactive example illustrates team notifications and calendar coordination. Live connections require configuration and authorisation in the application; this website does not access your accounts.

Does ready to submit mean the bid has been submitted?

No. Ready to submit is an internal status. Submission must follow the buyer’s process, and the team should retain the official receipt or confirmation.
