ARCUS eRFX is a web-based platform for managing tenders, bids, and supplier evaluation. It brings tender documents, communications, and activity into a shared workspace for relevant stakeholders. Teams can contact suppliers through the software, monitor progress, and retain an audit trail of interactions. The system can analyse supplier bids, identify the lowest bid for each item, and produce reports. Tailored questionnaires support intelligent branching, and scoring enables supplier comparisons. Tenders can gather environmental, social, and governance information. Connections include ERP systems, external data sources, and other ARCUS products; 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 exchanging information across systems and collecting data from official sources. The maker says the cloud service is hosted by Microsoft Azure, ISO 27001 accredited, and GDPR compliant. Pricing is available on request.
