Custom workflows

Your process is unique. Your workflows should be too.

While Altura’s core workflows cover the foundations, we know that high-stakes bids often require something more. Whether it’s legal clause screening or multi-lot scoring, we partner with you to turn your team’s specific expertise into automated workflows, ensuring Altura is as flexible as your strategy.

The process

How we build a custom workflow together.

Three phases, done alongside your team. Most custom workflows go from scoping to live in weeks, not months.

Discovery

We map your bid process, content sources, and team structure. We identify exactly where AI can save the most time and add the most value.

Build

Our team designs and builds the workflow inside your workspace. We test it against your real tenders, your real documents, and your quality standards before it goes anywhere near a live bid.

Deploy & Refine

We deploy the workflow, provide training for your team, and refine it based on operational feedback. Ongoing support ensures successful adoption and performance.

Real examples

What custom workflows can look like.

Every custom workflow is different. These are examples of workflows we have built with bid teams across different sectors.

Legal operations
Contract clause screening with ownership assignment.
Reviews every clause against your standard positions on liability, IP, payment, and termination.
Flags deviations with red/amber/green severity and clear reasoning.
Assigns each flagged clause to the right reviewer and notifies them, based on clause type.
Technical & infrastructure services
SLA and operational commitment scan.
Pulls every SLA from the tender: uptime, response times, resolution windows, penalty clauses.
Compares each commitment to your operational standard.
Flags commitments that exceed your normal capacity, with severity and source reference.
Sector specialists
Domain-specific red flag detection.
Scans tenders against your sector's recurring risks: privacy, regulation, mandatory certifications.
Catches proxy signals and indirect language when risks are not named directly.
Returns a structured assessment with severity, source, and recommended next step.
All bid teams
Reference project matcher.
For every "similar experience" requirement, surfaces your three strongest matching projects.
Pulls case content (scope, value, client, role) directly from your project portfolio.
Flags requirements where no good reference exists yet, so capture can plan ahead.

Start with workflows designed by bid professionals.

Our core workflows are built from direct industry experience and conversations with bid professionals. They provide a high-precision foundation for every stage of the bid cycle and are highly configurable from day one. Our team works with you to tailor these foundations to your specific risks, criteria, and internal frameworks.

Enterprise-grade automation with security you can trust.

Human guardrails

You stay in control of the data used for every answer. AI-generated content is clearly marked, and you approve each response before it moves forward. Your team decides which sources the platform can draw from.

AI explainability

Altura prioritises clarity. Every insight includes the reasoning behind it and a direct link to the source data at a word level, ensuring your decisions are always verifiable.

Frequently asked questions

The questions teams ask before committing to a custom workflow.

How long does it take to build a custom workflow?

Most custom workflows go from first scoping call to live deployment in four to eight weeks. The timeline depends on how complex your process is, how much testing data you have available, and how many stakeholders need to sign off. We give you a realistic timeline at the end of the discovery phase.

Do we need to have everything defined before we start?

No. Part of Discovery is helping you define what you want the workflow to do. We have done this with teams at every stage of maturity, from highly structured bid operations to teams still building their process from scratch.

Who owns the workflow once it is built?

You do. The workflow lives in your bid book, uses your data, and runs on your configuration. We maintain it technically and refine it based on your feedback, but the logic and the outputs belong to your team.

What happens if our process changes?

Custom workflows are meant to evolve. When your process changes, we adjust the workflow. This is part of the service, not a separate project.

Can a custom workflow use our internal data and documents?

Yes. Custom workflows are designed to use your Knowledge Library, your past bids, and your internal documents. That is usually the point. Everything runs under the same security and access controls as the rest of Altura.
