Flowcase Alternative
Flowcase Alternative for AEC Firms
Flowcase manages CVs for professional services broadly. RFPM is purpose-built for AEC firms that submit SF330s, SOQs, and qualification-based proposals.
Why AEC firms look for Flowcase alternatives
- Not AEC-native. Flowcase was built for professional services broadly — consulting, IT staffing, engineering. AEC-specific workflows like SF330 Section E resumes and project experience sheets were added later, not designed in from the start.
- Enterprise pricing for mid-market needs. Flowcase uses an enterprise pricing model that can be hard to justify for firms with 15-200 staff who mainly need resume and project sheet generation.
- Generalist feature set. Features are designed to serve consulting, IT, and engineering firms all at once. That means AEC-specific fields — like project roles, contract values, and agency clients — may not be first-class data points.
- No equivalent to Ask RFPM Agent for querying proposal content. When you need to quickly find which staff worked on a specific project type or which projects had a certain scope element, you want to ask your data — not scroll through records.

Key differences
AEC-first data model
RFPM stores staff qualifications using fields that matter for AEC proposals: project roles, registrations and certifications, agency clients, contract values, and scope descriptions. Every field maps directly to what goes into an SF330 Section E or an SOQ resume. Flowcase uses a generalist data model designed to work across consulting, IT, and engineering — which means AEC-specific data often ends up in freeform text fields rather than structured, queryable records.
Project experience sheets, not just resumes
Most AEC proposals require both staff resumes and project experience sheets. RFPM generates both from the same source data, exported to DOCX. Project sheets pull in the staff who worked on each project, scope details, contract value, and client information — formatted for the specific pursuit. With Flowcase, project sheets are an afterthought because the platform was designed around the CV, not the proposal.
AI that understands your proposal content
RFPM includes Ask RFPM Agent, which lets you query across your staff, projects, and RFP documents. Need to find every person who worked on FDOT bridge projects in the last five years? Ask the AI. Need to pull scope language from a similar past project for a new pursuit? Ask the AI. This saves hours of searching through records and shared drives — and it only works because the data is structured around AEC proposal content.
Mid-market pricing for mid-market firms
Flowcase uses enterprise pricing that makes sense for large multi-division firms with hundreds of consultants. RFPM is priced for the firms that need it most: AEC companies with 15-200 staff where one or two people manage all the proposals. A 14-day free trial lets you test the full workflow before committing.

RFPM includes project experience sheet generation, AEC-specific data fields, and Ask RFPM Agent for querying across your proposal content.
Does RFPM support SF330 resume formatting?
Yes. RFPM generates resumes in SF330 Section E format, branded SOQ formats, and custom templates — all from a single staff profile. Update a person's qualifications once and generate every format you need per pursuit.
