Our story
In light of the global events that disrupted supply chains in the past decade, Scoutbee was founded in 2015 on the idea of improving supply chain resilience by using artificial intelligence and big data to transform the way organizations use supplier data to discover and connect with suppliers.
Driven by our Co-founder and CEO Gregor Stühler’s motto of creating products that can truly change the world, over the past eight years, our team has propelled Scoutbee to the forefront of the strategic sourcing market, and has grown Scoutbee’s customer base to include Audi, Heidelberg, Siemens, Unilever, and many others.
Our passion for and commitment to tech-enabled procurement has generated dozens of awards, including the Unilever “Partner with Purpose” award - an important recognition of how Scoutbee is adding value to Unilever’s commitment to growing its business in a sustainable manner - as well as the World Procurement Awards 2023 shortlist (Procurement Technology Provider category).
We have also accumulated many industry recognitions, some of which are listed below.
