Loopio, a leading provider of response management platforms for enterprises, has announced a significant industry breakthrough with the launch of the Loopio Browser Extension for web portals. This new, AI-powered solution automates the entire process of managing online Request for Proposal (RFP) submissions, making Loopio the first response management software provider to offer a fully automated solution for portal-based responses.
Automating the Portal Pain Point
The move addresses a growing problem for sales and proposal teams: the percentage of RFPs submitted through web portals has risen by over 24% since 2020, now accounting for 51% of all submissions. This fragmentation forces teams to manually transfer questions and answers across different web-based formats, leading to slow, error-prone processes, which ultimately restricts their ability to secure more revenue.
The Loopio Browser Extension is designed to eliminate these bottlenecks by automating every step of the browser-based workflow. This includes importing questions, organising them, and auto-filling precise answers. The solution supports a wide array of browser-based submissions, such as security questionnaires, due diligence forms, and partner onboarding forms, all manageable with a single click.
Dual AI Features Drive Productivity
The extension is powered by two distinct AI features working in tandem to maximise efficiency:
- SmartScan for Portals uses AI to instantly identify questions within a portal-based RFx and import them seamlessly into the customer’s Loopio project. This grants users immediate access to Loopio’s full suite of collaboration, project management, and AI capabilities, even for portal-based responses.
- SmartFill for Portals takes content directly from a customer’s central Loopio library or active project and auto-fills the correct answers into the web portal, ensuring fast and accurate completion by matching answers to their corresponding questions.
“Portal-based RFx requests have long required teams to manually input and organise responses, diverting resources from more strategic tasks,” said Eugene Ho, Chief Product Officer at Loopio. “With SmartFill and SmartScan, we’ve automated this process, saving teams hours or even days of work. Now, our customers can focus on what matters most — staying ahead of the competition.”
Early Adopters See ‘Game Changer’ Results
Loopio’s new capabilities are already delivering substantial benefits to customers in early trials. Rob Bruce, Director of Pre-Sales Enablement at Syndigo, praised the immediate impact: “The new plug-in is a game changer! It captured a large, complex, online-only questionnaire and transformed it into a structured Loopio project in minutes. What would have been a tedious manual process was streamlined, saving our team significant time while ensuring accuracy.”
By automating the most time-consuming and error-prone elements of the RFP process, Loopio has set a new standard for the response management industry, enabling UK and global businesses to respond faster and secure more deals.
