ARCUS eRFX
Kildale House, Dukes Court, Teesside Industrial Estate, Stockton-On-Tees, TS17 9LR, UK
What it is
ARCUS eRFX is a web-based system for managing tenders, supplier bids, and supplier evaluation. It brings tender activity, documents, and communications into a shared workspace for relevant stakeholders. Teams can contact suppliers in the software, follow progress, and keep an audit trail of interactions. The system can analyse bids, identify the lowest bid for each item, and generate reports. Tailored questionnaires support intelligent branching, while scoring helps compare suppliers. Tenders can also gather environmental, social, and governance information. 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 exchanging data across systems and collecting information from official sources. Trade Interchange says it has also built custom APIs for customer ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics. Pricing is available on request.
