Utilities are a large share of a laundry's operating cost, and buyers write efficiency into the RFP. The targets can decide an award between similar machines, and the response has to prove the proposed equipment meets them.
What the requirement contains
A laundry RFP can set water consumption per pound, energy targets, references to efficiency programs, and rebate documentation. The agent extracts the efficiency requirements and the targets the equipment must meet.
Why it decides the response
On a best value buy, the efficiency can tip the award, and on any buy it affects the lifecycle cost the buyer weighs. The agent flags the efficiency targets so the response proves the equipment meets them at the facility load.
How the agent handles it
Our agent reads the energy and water efficiency requirements, ties them to the proposed equipment, and marks each on the matrix so the response documents the efficiency the RFP requires.
The agent checks the response against the efficiency targets the RFP requires. See the laundry bid response agent in the interactive demo.
