What is Ontopical by SOVRA?
Ontopical is a public-sector sales-intelligence platform for suppliers that need to identify government projects before a formal solicitation is issued. It converts public meetings, documents, planning activity, and other agency information into project signals that business-development teams can qualify and pursue.
Key Capabilities
- Pre-RFP monitoring: Monitors public agendas, meeting minutes, planning discussions, and related records for evidence of planned government projects, budgets, and purchasing requirements.
- Opportunity matching: Uses a supplier’s business profile and prior activity to rank projects according to the supplier’s capabilities and preferences.
- Configurable alerts: Tracks selected agencies, regions, and project types and notifies users when matching activity appears.
- Natural-language research: The Ask Oliver interface answers questions using government documents, public meetings, recordings, discussions, and web data.
- Meeting-recording analysis: Identifies relevant portions of lengthy public meeting recordings and links users to the sections containing project or policy information.
- Active solicitation search: Combines early-stage project signals with searches across currently open North American public-sector solicitations.
- Agency and stakeholder context: Associates opportunities with government decision-makers and available contact details.
- Outreach preparation: Generates draft emails, call notes, summaries, and talking points from the collected opportunity context.
- CRM handoff: Can push identified leads to a connected CRM; the public page does not name supported CRM products.
