## How teams use MedStrato Tenders

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Medical device distributor — from 2 weeks to 1 afternoon">
    A regional distributor receives a 180-page hospital procurement RFP with 47 technical requirements. The bid manager uploads the document, runs Bid Autopilot, and has a compliance-checked, priced proposal draft ready for review within an afternoon — a process that previously took two weeks of manual work across three departments.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Pharmaceutical company — 5 concurrent bids, 2-person team">
    A small commercial team manages five active government tenders simultaneously. With MedStrato's stage pipeline and deadline tracking, nothing falls through the cracks. Bid Autopilot handles the routine tenders while the team focuses manual effort on the two highest-value opportunities.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Laboratory equipment supplier — winning on compliance">
    A lab equipment company keeps losing tenders on technical compliance gaps they discover too late. After switching to MedStrato, AI compliance checking flags partial-match items during the Technical editor stage. The team addresses every gap before submission, improving their compliance score from 72% to 96% — and their win rate follows.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Hospital procurement office — faster turnaround for suppliers">
    A hospital procurement director notices that supplier proposals arrive inconsistent and incomplete. They recommend MedStrato to key suppliers. The result: proposals arrive structured, complete, and on time — reducing the evaluation cycle by 40%.
