SEQUESTO vs Altura: Altura Analyses the Tender. SEQUESTO Runs the Whole Bid.

Altura analyses the tender; SEQUESTO runs the whole bid. Altura finds Dutch public tenders and breaks the tender pack down into requirements, risks and clarification questions, then drafts answers one at a time or chapter by chapter, to finish in Word. In SEQUESTO, the analysis is where James, our AI bid agent, starts. He also turns the key dates into tracked deadlines, assigns the work and follows up on what is missing, writes the full response, the executive summary and the cover letter, tailors CVs and references, builds the presentation, fills the buyer's Word, Excel, PDF and PowerPoint files, and gathers the certificates and attachments into one zip, named the buyer's way. The company sets the stages, fields, workflows and dashboards itself, without code.

Altura lists onboarding of four to six weeks on Starter, six to eight on Professional and twelve on Advanced. With SEQUESTO, switching can go fast: upload your documents, walk us through your process in a one-hour session, and our team configures the aOS around your process, tone of voice, personas, properties and dashboards. It can be ready the next day, so you start on a full bid straight away. Onboarding is included on every plan.

Yes. The company sets the process: stages, fields, document types and workflows, configured without code or copied from ready-made set-ups for public tenders, RFPs, security questionnaires and DDQs. It also decides who sees what: each team or person gets view or edit access to a project, a folder, a single document or a single question, a Knowledge Hub document or a dashboard, and James works inside the same permissions. Within that process, James works in the role the company defined for each person, remembers how they like to work and writes in their language. An expert who opens the bid twice a month sees their assigned questions and nothing else.

Yes. James drafts from your past bids, policies, CVs and certificates and shows, for every answer, the sources it used and how it was built, step by step. Every file created, moved, shared or deleted, every comment and every access change is on record with the person who did it and when, and every approval is logged. Before a bid is marked complete, James checks every requirement against the finished document and grades it as compliant, partial, missing or needing clarification. Altura also links its insights to the source text and shows its reasoning.

Both handle Dutch public tenders. SEQUESTO writes the documents a tender is scored on, plans of approach, method statements and mandatory forms, directly in the tender's language, in 30+ languages on every plan, from content in any language, so a Dutch tender can be answered from an English or French library. It runs public tenders, ITTs and PQQs in the same workspace as RFPs, DDQs and security questionnaires.

In the EU or the US, as the customer chooses when the account is created, on every plan; the choice cannot be changed later. The AI runs in the same region, with full tenant isolation. Customer data is never used to train AI models. SEQUESTO is ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type II audited.

The tools most often weighed against Altura fall into two groups. Tender-analysis tools such as Brainial read the tender pack and help qualify it; library tools such as Loopio and Responsive answer questions from approved content. SEQUESTO runs the whole bid, from the tender pack and the go/no-go decision to the submission package, in one workspace that adapts to each team and each person, with every AI answer traceable to its source.
