Considering Loopio? Here's what Loopio wasn't built to do.

No AEC knowledge graph

Built on a manually curated content library of pre-approved answers. It has no data model that understands the relationships between your people, projects, clients, and pursuits. So when your team needs to find the right project profile or the right person for a specific pursuit, they're searching a flat library, not a connected knowledge base.

No automatic content extraction

Requires your team to manually enter, tag, and maintain content in the library. Proposals, resumes, and project sheets don't flow in and get structured automatically. Someone has to do that work, and keep doing it as the content ages.

Built around a linear workflow

Designed around a structured assign, review, and approve sequence. Not built for the non-linear way AEC pursuit teams actually work, where context shifts mid-pursuit, and the team needs to move freely between analysis, drafting, and compliance without a prescribed path.

No image management & intelligence

No auto-tagging of photos by project or client. No usage tracking across proposals. No reverse image search. Your team still digs through folders to find the right visual, with no way to know which images have performed across past submissions.

No self-maintaining knowledge base

The library is only as good as the team maintaining it. Content needs to be entered, reviewed, approved, and retired manually. The more your firm produces, the more overhead the library creates, rather than getting smarter on its own as new work comes in.

No native pursuit context

Loopio pulls client details from your CRM to start a response. That's where the connection ends. It has no way of knowing which projects your firm has delivered for that client, which team members have worked that relationship, or what your past performance looks like on similar work. That context still lives in a drive, in someone's head, or in a folder nobody can find fast enough.

Here’s what Kantiv does instead.

Win Strategy

Know exactly how to position your response before you write a word.

Kantiv analyses every RFx requirement and surfaces the past projects with the strongest proof points for this specific opportunity. Your team sees what to lead with, what to reuse, and where your firm's experience is most compelling.

First Draft

A first draft built from your firm's strongest past work.

Kantiv structures the proposal response around your most relevant past projects, pulling content and proof points directly from your knowledge base. Every section is sourced and traceable, so your team isn't writing from scratch or guessing which project to cite. Contributors add their sections in the platform. When the draft is ready, drag assets straight from your image library into InDesign.

Compliance Check

Every RFx requirement, checked before submission.

Kantiv runs a compliance check against every requirement in the RFx before your team submits. Every unaddressed requirement is flagged. No last-minute scrambles. Submit with confidence, every single time.

Compare

Feature-by-feature objective comparison

Kantiv is purpose-built on an AEC data model that understands the relationships between your people, your projects, your clients, and your pursuits. Loopio is built for generic RFP response volume. The table below shows what that difference looks like in practice.

Book a Demo

AEC-specific knowledge graph (People, Projects, Companies, Opportunities)

Yes

Generic Q&A library. No relational model connecting people, projects, clients, or pursuits.

Automatic content extraction from existing AEC documents (InDesign, Word, PDF)

Yes

No. Manual content entry, tagging, and library organization required.

Semantic search across project portfolio, resumes, and visual assets

Yes

Limited. Keyword and pattern-matching search within Q&A library. No semantic search across project portfolio, resumes, or visual assets.

Flexible, non-linear workflow (start anywhere, jump between tasks)

Yes

Structured linear workflow designed for sequential RFP response. Not built for non-linear AEC pursuit workflows.

Image management and intelligence (auto-tagging of images, search by what’s in the image, and more)

Yes

Images can be embedded in answer entries, but no image intelligence, auto-tagging, reverse image search, or usage tracking.

Auto-updating knowledge base, without the need for manual library maintenance

Yes

Requires constant manual curation. Setup takes months before the library returns consistently high-quality matches. Ongoing admin overhead is significant.

AEC-native document types (SOQ, SF330, project sheets, resumes)

Yes, built for AEC formats

General questionnaire focus. Supports Word, Excel, PDF, and web-based procurement portals. No AEC-specific document formats.

Multi-project, concurrent pursuit support

Yes, built for overlapping pursuits with a connected knowledge base.

Handles multiple concurrent RFP projects but without connected intelligence across them. No shared knowledge between overlapping proposals.

Project lifecycle tracking (Opportunity → Won → Project → Portfolio)

Yes

No. Tracks RFP projects and content usage only. No business development lifecycle tracking.

AI-powered document review and style compliance

Yes

AI answer scoring and confidence indicators within the Q&A library. No style guide compliance checking against firm-specific standards.

Resumes and project sheets connected to people, clients, and opportunities

Yes, automatically

No. Content lives as flat entries in the library. No people or project entity model.

Industry focus

AEC-exclusive

Horizontal. Serves enterprise sales, security, and proposal teams across all industries.
