Current intake, delivery, and connection paths

Know what Arc connects today—and what it does not claim.

Arc currently connects proposal work through uploaded source files, document exports, tracked sharing links, simple electronic signature requests, and an anonymous MCP analysis tool. This page separates those available paths from capabilities that are not represented as supported Arc integrations.

Integration availability can change independently of marketing copy. Verify the live workspace and documentation before making a procurement commitment.

Available now

File intake, proposal export, questionnaire return, tracked links, signatures, and analysis.

These paths are grounded in the current proposal workspace, delivery components, and public MCP documentation.

Available

Source-file intake

Add opportunity material to the proposal workspace before drafting.

  • The current file picker accepts PDF, DOCX, PPTX, TXT, XLSX, PNG, JPG, and JPEG
  • Text-extraction quality depends on the file and whether its contents are machine-readable
  • The selected proposal kind supplies structure; uploaded files supply context

Review proposal-type structure

Available

Proposal export

Move a reviewed proposal into common document handoff formats.

  • Export a reviewed proposal as PDF, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, JSON, or TXT
  • Proposal-specific export layouts are available for several decision contexts
  • Export formatting does not validate claims, requirements, pricing, or legal terms

Proposal to Lumen pitch deck

Start a separate Lumen presentation from an Arc proposal with Create pitch deck.

  • The handoff requires Lumen product access
  • Choose current saved scope or a retained approved edition; the handoff keeps its revision and source digest
  • Later proposal changes flag source drift rather than automatically updating the deck
  • Review the resulting deck in Lumen and export it as PPTX there
  • PPTX is a Lumen presentation output, not a direct Arc proposal-document download

Review Lumen presentation access

Available

Prism calculation metrics to proposal pricing

Import a reviewed Prism calculation metric pack, choose raw or display metrics for pricing quantities and unit prices, then preview before applying. Units and currencies must match exactly, with no conversion. The retained values are pinned to that pack; they do not update automatically when the original calculation changes.

  • Upload a reviewed calculation metric pack after adding pricing rows
  • Choose raw or display metrics explicitly for each bound quantity or unit price
  • Review the preview, apply the selected values, and save the proposal
  • Unlink the values or import a revised pack when the underlying calculation changes

Review Prism calculation context

Available

Original-questionnaire return

Write your workspace answers into a copy of a buyer-issued XLSX or DOCX questionnaire.

  • Preview mapped answer targets before writing; the file you uploaded is left unchanged
  • A direct export writes answers whatever their review status; an approved release requires approval first
  • Preflight blocks protected or formula cells, merged cells, invalid dropdown values, missing required answers, and conflicting mappings
  • Inspect the returned file and submit it yourself; Arc does not operate the buyer portal

Available

Tracked proposal links

Create a recipient-specific link, send it by email or copy it into your own delivery message.

  • Choose view-only or view-and-download permission
  • Optional expiry and password controls are available in the current dialog
  • Send directly from Gixo with recipient tracking or copy the tracked link to send yourself
  • Delivery history records opens, downloads, the last view, average reading time, buyer questions, and acceptance for each link
  • When Arc emails the link, you can switch on follow-up reminders, which go to the recipient if the proposal stays unopened and, for a link with an expiry date, again shortly before it expires

Review delivery guidance

Available

Simple electronic signature requests

Request signatures on a finished proposal from the Signatures panel on its page.

  • The proposal is frozen to a PDF with a SHA-256 fingerprint, and each of up to 10 signers is emailed a personal link
  • Signers type their name and agree to the consent text; they do not need a Gixo account
  • The completed copy gets an appended audit certificate, and a signing evidence archive can be downloaded
  • This is a simple electronic signature, not a qualified or certificate-based signature, and the archive is not a legal hold

Available

Anonymous MCP proposal analysis

Use the documented analyze_proposal_draft tool from a compatible MCP client.

  • The public MCP surface lists proposal analysis as an anonymous analysis tool
  • The tool is an analysis path, not public proposal generation
  • The deterministic analyzer does not certify compliance or replace final review

Explicit product boundaries

Do not plan around an integration Arc does not advertise.

The current public Arc surface does not represent the capabilities below as supported. Teams that require them should evaluate a dedicated proposal-operations or RFP-management platform alongside Arc.

Not claimed

Self-serve CRM synchronization

No self-serve CRM sync is represented as a supported Arc integration on the current public surface. Your team cannot connect Salesforce, HubSpot, or Pipedrive itself: Arc pushes the stage, close date, and amount of a proposal to a linked record only through a connection Gixo configures for your organization. Outgoing webhooks, which your team adds from the proposal workspace, can send proposal events to Zapier, Make, or your own endpoint.

Not claimed

Proposal-generation MCP

The documented MCP proposal tool analyzes a draft. It is not presented as an anonymous proposal-generation tool.

Not claimed

SSO and managed bid-team onboarding

These enterprise workflow capabilities are not represented as current Arc features.

Not claimed

CRM-wide outcome reporting

Arc shows project win rate from recorded outcomes. It does not reconcile those outcomes with an external CRM or provide CRM-wide attribution.

Not claimed

Automated compliance approval

Neither generation nor analysis certifies that a response is compliant or ready for submission.

Answer reuse happens inside Arc.

Save responses to the answer library, search approved entries, and adapt them to a new requirement. Reviewers approve entries or request changes, and governed edits return an approved entry to review. This is an internal workflow, not a connection to a third-party content system.

Evaluation sequence

Test the complete handoff with non-sensitive sample material.

Confirm extraction quality for the file types you use, inspect the draft and exported document, create a tracked link if needed, and verify exactly which events appear in delivery history. Do not upload confidential buyer material until your organization has completed its own security and data-handling review.

Open the trust and policy hub

Your material, your review, your decision

Move from source files to a proposal draft your team can inspect.

Arc prepares a structured first draft from the material you provide. Your reviewers still own the facts, scope, pricing, commitments, and final approval.
