Transforming Proposal Reviews with Automation

How we helped the ARC Network streamline their submission and review process.

The Challenge

Innovation
Proposal Review App

The ARC Network was managing their proposal review process manually, relying on Google Forms and spreadsheets to collect and evaluate submissions. This system was:

  • Time-consuming: Reviewers had to manually input scores and track feedback.
  • Disorganized: Managing multiple proposals and reviewers in spreadsheets led to errors.
  • Inefficient: There was no centralized review system, making collaboration difficult.

The ARC Network needed a scalable, automated system that would improve efficiency while maintaining accuracy in evaluations.

The Solution

We designed a custom, automated proposal review system using:

  • Webflow – To create a professional Call for Proposals webpage that clearly outlined submission guidelines.
  • Jotform – To collect structured proposal submissions and automate data collection.
  • Glide – To build a reviewer portal where external reviewers could log in, view their assigned proposals, and submit reviews.
  • Automated Scoring – The platform automatically calculated scores based on a client-designed rubric, eliminating manual scoring errors.

The Results

After implementing the new system, ARC Network experienced:

  • 80% reduction in manual processing time – Reviewers could log in, review, and score proposals without spreadsheets.
    Better organization – All submissions and scores were centralized in one system.
  • Seamless reviewer experience – External reviewers accessed their assigned proposals through an intuitive dashboard.
  • Improved decision-making – Automated scoring ensured fairness and accuracy in evaluations

By replacing a manual, spreadsheet-heavy process with a fully automated proposal review system, Noteworthy Lab helped [Client Name] save time, reduce errors, and improve efficiency.
