To ensure the smooth operation of the system, please follow these simple tips. In case of improper system use, unforeseen anomalies may occur on the participant side.

System requirements

Fluenta is a cloud-based system; all you need is internet access and a suitable browser. The list of supported operating systems and browsers can be found on our website.

Important information

  • Do not open Fluenta Sourcing or Fluenta Auction on multiple tabs in a browser, as this might result in data corruption or even data loss.
  • Do not open a sourcing event or auction in more than one place, tab, browser or device at the same time, as automatic saves may overwrite each other. To open two different sourcing events or auctions, use two separate browsers or devices.
  • Make sure that the time zone set in your Fluenta account matches the time zone of your current location. If they are not the same, you may miss a sourcing event, auction or other deadline based on the times displayed in the system. You can set the time zone displayed in Fluenta on the [Personal settings] page.
  • While using Fluenta, please do not change the time settings on your computer as this may lead to data corruption or loss.
  • To use Fluenta, you must enable pop-ups on the site. Without it, the mandatory warning messages will not appear and in some cases you will not be able to proceed with the sourcing event, auction or compliance procedure.
  • For sourcing events and auctions, we recommend that you log in before the start of the event or auction; if you are a first-time user of Fluenta, we recommend that you consult our interactive tutorials on the FAQ page of our website.
