Our Story
Founded in 2015, scoutbee brings together expertise from purchasing, operations, engineering and data science to transform the way organizations discover and connect with suppliers. Our aim is to deliver the most transparent and valuable view possible of your supplier network.
We understand first hand the complexities and the tedious, manual process involved in traditional ways to find suppliers. For many procurement teams, a lack of holistic insights mean huge gains are left untapped.
That’s why we built our software-as-a-service suite, powered by Artificial Intelligence and Big Data. scoutbee makes it easy for you to find and connect with your absolute optimal supplier with the right product – in a matter of days …not months. That’s what we call Smarter Supplier Discovery.
