ARCUS eRFX vs DeepRFP

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.

DeepRFP is a web workspace for analyzing requests for proposals, organizing opportunity material, and drafting responses. An opportunity workspace brings together RFP documents, company content, previous proposals, analysis, drafts, and reviews. Its AI creates proposal first drafts from those materials, with DOCX downloads. It extracts requirements and supports compliance matrices and structured Excel responses. Proposal writing works in 28 languages through an English interface. PDF, DOCX, and XLSX files can be uploaded or exported, including one-click Word and Excel exports. DeepRFP says customer data is not used to train AI models, files are encrypted and automatically purged after abuse checks, and the service runs on SOC 2-compliant US clouds. The seven-day full-access trial requires no card and does not auto-charge. Pro costs $89 per user per month; Elite costs $149 per user per month.
