RFX Management
Every RFX managed, your way.
Bid managers and tender teams operate inside SEQUESTO to run their complete RFX management cycle, from intake and qualification through drafting, review, approval and submission. Structured and executed according to their processes, workflows and preferences. Governance, traceability and flexible workflows in one central operating layer.
Bid teams in regulated organisations run their complete RFX operations inside SEQUESTO, making it so much more than a response platform.
The Problem
The tools your team uses were never designed to work together.
Knowledge fragmentation risk
Past RFX responses, approved answers and compliance evidence are scattered across personal drives, email threads and outdated SharePoint folders. When a bid manager leaves, the institutional knowledge goes with them, and the next submission pays the price.
Coordination overhead
Cross-functional RFX responses involve legal, technical, commercial and subject matter contributors working in isolation. Without a central operating layer, version conflicts multiply, review cycles stall and submission quality varies by who had time that week.
Governance and auditability gaps
Proposals that are presented to customers are legally binding documents. Enterprises and regulators now expect every claim in a submission to be traceable to an approved source. Manual, dispersed RFX processes produce no reliable audit trail, no content ownership records and no visibility on who approved what before the document went out.
How SEQUESTO runs RFX management
One operating layer for your entire RFX lifecycle.
SEQUESTO is not another platform forcing a pre-configured way of working on you. It is the central environment where your RFX management runs, according to your process, executing your workflows, allowing you to work your way. Agents do the heavy lifting, the building and assembling work. Your team provides the direction and the judgment.
Define your workflows
Configure your process, your way of working in a workflow. Describe the different steps that need to be executed in that workflow. Instruct James, the AI Agent Force what you expect him to do and deliver in each step of your process. Store these workflows as a template. Allocate the different workflows to your team members. Flexibility and sophistication maximised.
Execute your workflows
Each of your team members can now execute any of their workflows in an intuitive Workspace, offering them the sophistication and flexibility they need. James is doing all the heavy lifting so that the user keeps oversight and only give additional guidance to James. Intuitive, flexible and powerful, full stop.
Personalise your workflows.
Any user can easily configure, structure, and organise additional workflows to automate any random task they are challenged with. In a few clicks, any new workflow can be set up and activated to perform any complex process. Flexibility and simplicity guaranteed.
What makes the difference?
Built to support your team, your process, your way of working.
Flexible workflow orchestration
Configure the RFX management workflow your team actually uses, in just a few clicks. Set up folder structures, item types, approval chains and contributor roles that match your process. Build as many workflows as you need across your company to cover all different RFX types, each with its own logic and review cycle.
One Workspace where all the action is
Run each RFX in its own workspace, giving you one central place where everything happens. With your workflow structure on the left. With your active working document in the centre. And James doing all the heavy lifting on the right. One place where all team members collaborate and your winning proposals come to life.
Auditability and governance by default
Each proposal is a legally binding document. Every document action, agent invocation, approval and export is logged to an audit trail. Role-based permissions control who sees what. Compliance teams can trace any claim in a submission back to its approved source without engineering support. Governance, compliance and security, all taken care off.
