What is Arcus ERP?

Arcus ERP is a cloud-native business management system that replaces fragmented tools with a single, connected platform. It handles the complete order-to-cash cycle. From taking an order through shipping, invoicing, payment collection, and accounting. Arcus is designed for teams that need real-time inventory visibility, multi-location support, and tight integration between sales, fulfillment, and finance.
Built for wholesale distribution Arcus was designed specifically for wholesale distributors handling physical goods. With features like 3D bin packing, prepackaged item rules, serial number tracking, and vendor returns built in from the start.

How to Navigate Arcus

Arcus uses a collapsible left sidebar for primary navigation. Each section of the app has its own icon and label. You can collapse the sidebar to gain more screen space by clicking the ** panel toggle** button at the top right of the sidebar.

If you can’t find what you need in this Help Center, here are your options:

  • Contact your Arcus system administrator for entity-specific configuration questions

​
Common First Steps

  • You cannot see a module: ask an owner or admin to review your role, entity membership, location access, and enabled modules.
  • You are not sure if you are in sandbox: check the entity and environment indicator before creating, posting, paying, shipping, or closing work.
  • You know the order, product, or account name: use global search before digging through module lists.
  • You are learning a workflow: read the workflow guide first, then practice in sandbox before touching production records.
  • You see a warning banner: stop and read it. Warnings usually explain the setup, payment, inventory, fulfillment, tax, or accounting issue blocking the next step.
