What it is

ARCUS eRFX is a web-based system for managing tenders, supplier bids, and supplier evaluation. It brings tender activities, documents, and communications into a shared space for relevant stakeholders. Teams can communicate with suppliers, track progress, and keep an audit trail of interactions. The software can analyse bids, identify the lowest bid for each item, and generate reports. Tailored questionnaires support intelligent branching, and scoring helps compare suppliers. Tenders can gather environmental, social, and governance information for sourcing decisions. The product connects with ERP systems, external data sources, and other ARCUS solutions. Named integrations include Dun & Bradstreet and Red Tractor; a live Science Based Targets initiative integration for eRFX and Supplier Information Management can collect organization and emissions-target information. ARCUS Connect is a native API for sharing information across systems and collecting information from official sources. The maker also describes bespoke APIs for customer ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics. Pricing is available on request.
