Frequently asked questions

Do suppliers need to pay to use the portal?
No. Suppliers register and bid for free using the Company Code provided by the buying organisation. There is no cost to suppliers.
How does sealed bidding work?
Supplier prices are hidden from all buyers until the RFQ deadline passes. Once closed, bids are revealed simultaneously — ensuring no bid manipulation before closing.
Can we integrate with our existing ERP?
Yes. Fumas e-Tender is built on ASP.NET Core Web API and can integrate with FUMAS24 and other ERP systems. Contact us for integration details.
How are approval levels set?
Approval thresholds (L1 Supervisor, L2 Manager, L3 Director, L4 CEO/Board) are configured in Settings by the Admin and triggered automatically based on requisition value.
Is there a mobile version?
Fumas e-Tender is a fully responsive web application — it works on desktop and mobile browsers without a separate native app download.
How do we get started?
Register your company on the Starter plan for free, or contact Futuresoft for a guided demo and setup on the Essential or Advance plan.
