Three ways small AEC firms leave revenue on the table

You’re not seeing every RFP

Relevant opportunities are posted on procurement portals daily. Without monitoring, you’re losing bids to firms that simply showed up.

Proposals take forever

Your team rewrites from scratch every time because nobody can find the right past project. The knowledge is in your company, but it’s buried in folders nobody searches.

Mistakes ruin chances

Without a structured review, errors in compliance, pricing, and scope make it to the evaluator’s desk. One missed requirement can disqualify the entire response.

How It Works

Find. Draft. Review. Win.

Three steps to go from “didn’t know about it” to a ready-to-send submission, in a fraction of the time.

1

Find New Opportunities

RFP Radar monitors Canadian procurement portals daily and scores every open opportunity against your firm’s profile, so relevant RFPs show up before your competitors see them.

2

Draft Excellent Proposals

Upload the RFP and Stepscale drafts your response using your firm’s actual past projects. No more rewriting from scratch or forgetting what your company has done.

3

Review Before You Submit

Run a final review that catches compliance gaps, pricing errors, and missing requirements before anything embarrassing reaches the evaluator’s desk.

"I use Stepscale daily for RFP responses, and nothing else does what it does. Their review and drafting tools are the best we've used. We're turning around proposals faster, with better content pulled from past wins. They've made responding to RFPs manageable for a team our size."

"Stepscale has changed how we respond to RFPs. We no longer waste time digging through past proposals or hunting for project details across our portfolio. Stepscale finds what we need in seconds and helps us put together stronger submissions. It's like having a few extra proposal coordinators on staff."

Smart References

Your firm has done great work. Use all of it.

Most proposals only reference projects the author personally remembers. Stepscale scans your entire proposal library and scores every past project for relevance, surfacing work from across the company that you didn’t know about.

  • Multi-factor scoring: sector, value, scope, timeline, and certifications
  • Visual match tags show exactly why each project scored high or low
  • Surfaces references you may have forgotten about across hundreds of projects

  • Auto-match team members to RFP-specified roles and qualifications
  • Certifications and credentials checked against RFP requirements
  • Track availability and prevent over-committing key personnel

  • Suggested fixes for each issue
