Flowcase VS Unanet (Cosential)

Dedicated Resume Database
Purpose built for handling resumes, with all focus on improving this workflow
⚠️
Has a resume tool (Publisher), but it's locked behind admins and harder to keep current.
Seamless data input
Flowcase has AI-powered import from LinkedIn, resumes, and project data keeps everything current automatically.
⚠️
Relies on manual entry or syncing; teams depend on staff updating their own profiles, which rarely happens.
Content tailoring for proposals
Fast tailoring of bios and project summaries for each RFP, custom summaries, focus areas, translations, all in a few clicks.
Not built for pursuit customization; teams usually export to Word for heavy manual edits.
Search & Discovery
for the right people
Flowcase offers advanced
filters (skills, markets, certifications, clients) help you instantly find the best-fit staff and projects.
⚠️
Filtering gaps, e.g. no easy way to exclude staff who logged minimal project hours.
Exporting Proposal-Ready Documents
One-click exports to branded PDFs, Word, SF330, and template-based layouts, always on-brand.
Exports works, but reformatting in InDesign/Word still eats team time.
Speed & Team Efficiency
Cuts resume/project sheet work from hours to minutes; firms submit polished proposals faster than competitors.
⚠️
Built for operations, not proposal velocity; teams still do most formatting outside the system.

Flowcase is the best Unanet (Cosential) Alternative

Dedicated Resume & Project Management

✅ Flowcase offers purpose-built tools for resume + project creation, editing, styling, tailoring, summarizing, translating, and exporting to Word/PDF/InDesign/SF330.

⚠️ Unanet (Cosential): Has a resume and project library (Publisher), but template control is locked behind admins and proposal creation is clunky so teams still fall back to manual Word edits to get pursuit-ready.

Seamless data input

✅ Flowcase uses AI-powered parsing of LinkedIn, resumes, and project data to auto-populate profiles and keep information fresh across the entire firm.

⚠️ Unanet (Cosential) relies on manual data entry or admin-driven syncing. Staff must keep their own profiles current, which rarely happens and project names get truncated coming from the accounting system, so they're hard to match to the right project and permissions. The result: inconsistent, outdated content

“The time savings are enormous. What used to take our team two or three days can now be done in a few hours. We’ve reduced our proposal prep time by more than 20%, which adds up to significant cost savings every year.”

Content tailoring for proposals

✅ Flowcase enables fast, granular tailoring of bios and project summaries for each pursuit, including custom summaries, skills emphasis, and translations.

⚠️ Auto-populates templates, but pursuit-specific tailoring is limited reviewers describe proposal creation as buggy, so teams often export to Word and rewrite by hand. "It struggles to combine different types of information you end up with Frankenstein resumes."

Search & Discovery for the right people

✅ Flowcase offers advanced, structured filters (skills, markets, certifications, client history, languages) to instantly surface the best staff + projects for each RFP.

⚠️ Unanet (Cosential): Has search, but filtering gaps slow teams down — for example, no easy way to exclude staff who only logged a few hours on a project, so the wrong people surface in your shortlists.

"The integration of Flowcase into RVA's proposal management process marks a significant chapter in our journey."

Purpose built for professional services

✅ Flowcase is designed specifically for BD, marketing, HR, and pursuit teams in AEC, consulting, and professional services, where content speed and quality directly impact win rates.

⚠️ Unanet (Cosential): A heavyweight, firm-wide CRM system of record. It's powerful, but the interface is dated with a steep learning curve, and template updates are gated behind admins so day-to-day proposal teams move slower.

Exporting options to proposal ready templates

✅ Flowcase exports to branded PDFs, Word, SF330, and native InDesign files, plus custom firm templates all formatted instantly and consistently.

⚠️ Unanet (Cosential): Exports to PDF, RTF, Word, and InDesign but reformatting still eats time, and only admins can upload Publisher templates, creating a bottleneck on deadline.

Control over confidential work

✅ Flowcase lets you control exactly who sees sensitive projects, client names, and descriptions so the right people access the right content, and nothing leaks into the wrong proposal.

⚠️ Unanet (Cosential): Limited customization beyond basic field types makes confidential project descriptions and client-level permissions hard to manage.
