Which RFP software can automate DDQs and vendor questionnaires?

Short answer

9 tools here record DDQ automation as a core capability: AutoRFP.ai, Arphie, Inventive AI, Tribble, Loopio, Ombud and 3 more. Pick by who owns the answers: if legal, finance and security all sign off on the same DDQ, weight assignment and approval controls over raw drafting speed.

Why this question matters

A DDQ spreads across more owners than a security questionnaire. Finance confirms figures, legal confirms commitments, operations confirms process, and security covers the rest. Automation helps most when it routes each section to the right owner and keeps last year’s approved answer visible.

Which one fits your situation

If you need formal sign-off from several departments, start with AutoRFP.ai, Loopio and Ombud.
If you want drafts that show their sources, start with AutoRFP.ai, Arphie and Inventive AI.
If you also handle heavy security questionnaire volume, start with Arphie, Inventive AI and Loopio.

What to test in a trial

Use one completed DDQ and one unseen DDQ from the same counterparty type.
Assign two questions to a contributor outside the response team and count their steps.
Check how the tool handles a question reworded from last year’s version.

Caveats

Investor DDQs for fund managers are a different job from customer vendor-risk DDQs. Check which one a vendor means.
A DDQ capability score does not confirm support for a particular template or portal.

How we decided who qualifies

Only RFP, DDQ and questionnaire response tools with a published profile are checked. A tool is named here only when its record shows the rule above, either in a sourced research fact or in the reviewed profile, and we publish an answer only when at least three tools qualify. A tool missing from the table may still do this; it has not been documented in a way we could source. Read the research methodology for how facts are dated and corrected.
