What ARCUS eRFX is
ARCUS eRFX is a web-based tender and supplier evaluation platform for organizations managing bids and selection. It gathers tender activities, documents, and communications in one workspace for relevant stakeholders. Teams can communicate with suppliers, monitor progress, and retain an audit trail of interactions. The system can analyse bids, identify the lowest bid for each item, and create reports. Tailored questionnaires support intelligent branching, while scoring helps compare suppliers. Tenders can collect environmental, social, and governance information. The product connects with ERP systems, outside data sources, and other ARCUS solutions; named connections include Dun & Bradstreet and Red Tractor. ARCUS Connect is a native API for exchanging information between systems and retrieving information from official sources. A live Science Based Targets initiative integration for eRFX and Supplier Information Management can gather organization and emissions-target information. Trade Interchange says it has also built custom APIs to connect customer ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics. Pricing is available on request.
