Real-time tender monitoring is essential for all organizations to stay competitive in the fast-paced market. Our dear client faced challenges in identifying and responding effectively to Brazil government tenders.
To address this issue, we delivered a real-time tender monitoring solution with automation and web scraping. The system we used seamlessly captured, categorized, and analyzed relevant tenders from multiple sources, including government portals while sending on-time tender alerts and notifications.
This approach has helped our clients act promptly on critical opportunities. Let’s examine the problem statement and how Relu enabled real-time tender monitoring and data extraction.
Challenges faced by the Client
Lack of real-time updates—Without an efficient real-time tender monitoring system, the client was dependent on a manual process. This caused a delay in identifying and responding to tenders. Tight deadlines or missed submissions have become common scenarios.
Inefficient tender discovery
Existing tools were insufficient for tracking Brazil's government tenders. The reason was the usage of limited keyword searches. This caused the overlooking of opportunities in niche and regional markets.
Complex tender data extraction
Tender information came from different sources in different formats. Manual tender data extraction and preparation became tedious and error-prone. This process lacked scalability causing inefficiencies.
Lack of competitive insights
The client’s inability to monitor competitors' activities and strategies prevented them from optimizing their bids for competitive tenders.
Resource intensive workflow
Manual methods for web scraping for tenders require time and effort, which reduces the team’s ability to focus on strategic tasks.
Recognizing these challenges, we developed a solution that includes automation, tender alerts and notifications, and data-driven insights.
Our solution to the problems
We developed a tailored real-time tender monitoring system to address all the client's challenges. It was designed to simplify tender discovery and management. A deeper look into the solution:
Real-time tender monitoring

Automated tracking
The manual tracking of tenders was replaced with an automated tender tracking process. This automated tender tracking identified, captured, and categorized tenders from different sources. This automation reduced dependency on human intervention, saved time, and reduced errors.
