Canadian data residency by default
ProposalForge hosts customer data and runs AI processing in the Montreal region. Your draft proposals for Government of Canada work never need to leave the country. Loopio, though Toronto-based, documents hosting only in AWS USA or Ireland.
Built for Protected B-aligned workflows
Controls architected for Protected B alignment, role-based access, and audit trails, designed around the expectations of Canadian public-sector bidding.
Intelligence, not just response
Grounded in 1.3M+ public federal contract records: see who wins with your buyers, what renews next, and whether a bid is worth it, before you write a word.
Choose ProposalForge if
- You bid Canadian federal, provincial, or municipal RFPs
- You have no dedicated proposal team (1 to 15 people)
- Canadian data residency matters to you or your clients
- You want market intelligence on buyers and competitors, not just faster answers
- You want to know the price before talking to anyone
Loopio may fit better if
- You run an enterprise response team answering hundreds of RFPs, RFIs, and security questionnaires
- Your main problem is answer reuse across a large content library
- You have procurement and security teams to run a sales-led evaluation
- US or EU hosting fits your data requirements
