How can planners track their sourcing process in Cvent?

Planners can effectively track their sourcing process in Cvent through dashboards that display RFP statuses and responses. These dashboards offer a centralized view of the entire sourcing workflow, allowing planners to monitor the progress of requests for proposals (RFPs) in real time. This visibility helps planners understand which vendors have responded, which proposals are still outstanding, and overall engagement in the sourcing process.

Utilizing dashboards enhances efficiency, as planners can quickly interpret data and make informed decisions without sifting through numerous emails or documents. This organized method not only streamlines communication with potential venues but also reduces the risk of missing critical deadlines and details.

In contrast, options that involve physical contracts, offline documents, or manual emails lack the efficiency and centralized management tools that Cvent’s dashboards provide. Relying on these alternative methods can lead to disorganization and confusion, making it difficult for planners to stay on top of their sourcing efforts.
