Confidence in supplier management for C-Suite professionals in food & beverage
ARCUS® supplier management software, hosted in the cloud by Trade Interchange, has been proven to work in the food & beverage sector, and delivers supply base confidence for the companies such as Morrisons, Brakes, PizzaExpress, Fridays, Punch, The Restaurant Group, Vestey Foods, and AAK through a streamlined solution.
Information Security
Our ISO 27001-accredited Information Security Management System ensures that all elements relating to Data Security, Availability and Integrity are covered, especially in relation to our customers’ data and the services we provide.
The system is audited by SGS, a UKAS-accredited auditor. We have held the ISO 27001 accreditation since 2013. Trade Interchange and our hosting partner both operate within the GDPR framework, and the ARCUS® platform is GDPR compliant.
Licencing Model
Our licence model is for one licence per customer. This enables unlimited numbers of employees to log in and access the system without incurring any additional charges. This authorisation can be extended to third-party organisations working on your behalf following approval from the appropriate stakeholder.
The amount of information which can be viewed, edited, and downloaded can be determined by profiles which are created; typically, based on team or job role but profiles can be configured to match a company’s requirements.
We allow the number of concurrent users to be 50. This means that 50 people within a company or third-party organisations working on behalf of the company that has been granted user profiles can be logged into the system at the same time.
Suppliers are not included in the concurrent user restrictions; therefore, all suppliers can be logged into the system at the same time without any restrictions.
Auditable Information
All information within the system is auditable, allowing users to confidently demonstrate to internal and external stakeholders, such as auditors, the steps that have been taken when carrying out comprehensive checks on suppliers. This includes any corrective actions that have been taken to mitigate the associated risks.
Automation and Artificial Intelligence
Reminders can be set against every document uploaded, meaning site-specific expiry dates for certifications will automatically be requested, in addition to company-level information. This ensures that each company and approved site remains compliant and that the relevant departments can take action to manage and maintain information efficiently.
Electronically map your approval process to match best practice or internal purchasing processes with configurable alerts and emails notifying of key terms, milestones, critical task dates and events. Bi-directional and auto-escalation workflows can be configured to reduce the time spent waiting for approvals and to highlight bottlenecks in the system.
Using artificial intelligence, ARCUS® can scan key documents required by organisations in the food and beverage sector as it is uploaded by suppliers, verifying that the right certificate has been submitted and that the dates and values are valid.
Supplier Compliance
Ensure supplier compliance with company policies and government legislation, including modern slavery, sustainability, health and safety, anti-bribery and allergens while proving due diligence throughout the supply chain. Information can be collected at a company, site and product level.
Protect Company Brand
Protect company brand and reputation by assessing suppliers’ financial risk and capabilities. ARCUS® Connect, our native API, allows integration with other solutions, ensuring all information can be automatically shared across systems – eliminating the need to re-key data. Data can be transferred in both directions between your current internal and external systems and ARCUS®. Examples of integrations include NAVEX Global, Recipe & Menu Engineering and ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics.
