Only in SEQUESTO · Every action on record
See who did what. On every bid, for every person.
Every file created, moved, shared or deleted, every comment and every access change is on record, with the person who did it and when. You also see who works on which bid and how much time it takes, so you manage the team on facts.
A bid goes wrong in the gaps between people. A plain record of every action, by people and by James, closes those gaps and shows where the team's effort really goes.
THE RECORD
Why is it so hard to know who did what on a bid?
A bid has ten contributors, three deadlines and hundreds of files. When something goes wrong two days before submission, nobody knows who moved the annexes folder or changed the price sheet. When the bid is over, nobody can say how much effort it really took, or who carried it.
01
Most tools log for IT
Most tools keep a technical log for IT, or nothing at all.
02
Plain sentences, one per action
SEQUESTO keeps a record the bid director can read: plain sentences, one per action, with the person, the file and the time.
Before / With SEQUESTO
Before
- "Who changed this?" asked in the team chat
- No way to tell a colleague's edit from the AI's
- Effort per bid guessed after the fact
- A wrong edit means starting again
With SEQUESTO
- The answer in the log, with name and time
- Actions James took are marked with the person he acted for
- Time spent per person and per bid
- Restore the previous version
WHAT IS LOGGED
What is on record?
Every action that changes a bid, as it happens:
01
Files and folders
Created, renamed, moved, deleted, archived, restored, and every new version.
02
Fields and people
A status, deadline or contract value changed, a person assigned to a bid.
03
Access
Access granted or revoked, permission and ownership changes.
04
Team
Members added, removed or updated.
05
Bids
Projects started, ready, deleted.
06
Collaboration
Comments created, replied to, resolved and reopened, including comments left for a colleague.
07
Connections
Sync connections created, changed or removed.
Each entry is a plain sentence: who did it, what, where and when. Admins filter by person, action type and date range, or search the text.
Take the record wherever you need it. When an auditor, a client or your own compliance team asks for evidence, export the log in minutes instead of piecing it together from e-mails. Or connect it to your company's security and compliance tools through SEQUESTO's API, so your IT team sees bid activity next to everything else they monitor.
ACTIVITY
Who works on what, and for how long
The log tells you what happened. Activity tells you how the team works.
01
Per person and per bid
For each person, see the bids they worked on and the time they spent on each. For each bid, see who contributed and how much.
That answers the questions a bid director is asked every quarter.
02
How much effort a bid takes
How much effort does a bid really take? Compare a public tender with a private RFP, or this year with last year.
03
Who is overloaded
Who is overloaded? See where the hours go before someone burns out in the week of three deadlines.
04
Where SEQUESTO saves time
Where does SEQUESTO save time? Compare time per bid before and after a workflow or a library set-up is introduced.
05
Who has adopted it
Who has adopted the new way of working? See who works in SEQUESTO every week, and who still works outside it.
AI ACTIONS
What the AI did, and for whom
When James, SEQUESTO's AI bid agent, changes a document on someone's behalf, the record shows it: the person who asked and the fact that James carried it out.
01
Checked before the change
James never edits a document without the user's own instruction, which is checked before the change is made.
02
Review means review
When you only ask him to review, he reviews.
03
James usage per person and bid
Admins can also see how much each person and each bid used James over a period, to follow adoption across teams.
VERSIONS
Go back, not start again
Every document keeps its version history.
Undo a bad edit
Open an earlier version, compare it and restore it when an edit went wrong, whether a colleague or James made it.
An example: the folder that moved two days before the deadline
Two days before a public tender deadline, the bid manager cannot find the "Annexes" folder.
Find it in the log
An admin filters the log on "Folder moved" for the last two days: a colleague moved it into an archive project by mistake. The admin moves it back.
Restore yesterday's version
A signed declaration was also overwritten in the confusion, so the bid manager restores yesterday's version from its history.
Read the time per bid
At the end of the quarter, the bid director looks at the time spent per bid and sees that security questionnaires take the team twice as long as expected.
Start from a shared workflow
The next quarter starts with a shared workflow for them.
FOUR STEPS
How it works
Work as usual. Every action is recorded as it happens, by people and by James.
01
Search the log
Filter by person, action type and date range, or search the text. Export it, or send it to your own tools through the API.
02
Read the activity
Time and contributions per person and per bid.
03
Restore when needed
Open a document's version history and restore an earlier version.
