Common Frustrations
Where Loopio Runs Out of Room in Professional Services
Based on Loopio's own published material, checked November 2026. In our view, these are the moments where a library-first tool asks the most of a bid team in consulting, engineering, audit and legal firms.
The Buyer Scores Your People. Loopio Answers Questions.
In consulting, engineering, audit and legal bids, the award criteria are the team, the references and the approach. Loopio answers the questions one by one from its library. The CVs, the reference sheets and the methodology are still written by hand, in Word. In SEQUESTO, James does that work, so your partners spend their time on the approach that wins.
Twelve CVs, Five Versions Each, One Buyer Template
Each buyer wants its own CV format, its own word count and sometimes anonymised names. A Q&A library is not built for that. James rewrites each CV and case study for this buyer, in the buyer's template and language, from your own documents with the source shown, and anonymises the whole response in one instruction. When a consultant lacks a certification the buyer asks for, he reports it instead of guessing.
Four Practices, Four Writing Styles, One Bid Manager
Strategy, digital, finance and legal each own a section. Loopio can assign sections to experts, but the bid manager still chases partners between client meetings and stitches four styles into one response. In SEQUESTO each partner sees only the sections assigned to them, in their own view. James drafts first, comments where input is still owed and brings the response into one voice, in your firm's tone.

Where Loopio Wins
Loopio is a long-established vendor with a mature answer library, deep CRM integrations and a browser extension that fills online procurement portals. Users rate it 4.6 out of 5 on G2 and praise its ease of use. It holds ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 certification and a SOC 2 Type II report. For a firm that mainly answers repeatable questionnaires from boilerplate, it does the job. But a professional services bid is won on people, references and approach. SEQUESTO builds those too.
