Better Data. Better Decisions. Better World.
The Power of Social Procurement - Scoutbee Manifesto
We can paint a utopian or dystopian view of the future. In one world, young digital natives go vegan and share autonomous electric vehicles; in another world, climate change and cyber attacks wreak havoc on people and the planet. Either way, we are likely to be wrong. While the future may not be clear, we know that constant, rapid and unpredictable change will continue to be "normal".
Our vision at Scoutbee is not simply to be providers of advanced supplier search. We lead the global market as innovators and creators of technology and user experience that brings people together to create world-changing products & services built on data.
To build a better future - embracing transformation and disruption - we meet the increasingly complex need to make meaningful connections between producers, OEMs and makers and the world of suppliers leveraging accurate and comparable facts & figures wrapped with relevance and purpose. Facebook brings people together socially, and LinkedIn connects the world of human talent. Scoutbee fills a powerful market gap, enabling and empowering relationships and knowledge sharing between suppliers and buyers - a single source of truth.

The hyper-scalable Scoutbee Data Foundation powers superhuman global insights; finding a "needle in the haystack" goes from science fiction to supplier facts. We combine internal data with external supplier data from numerous secure and reputable sources, integrate ERP systems when it makes sense, and deploy our well-trained bots to scrape the public web. Matching procurement demands with suppliers goes beyond the basic metrics - in many cases, it encompasses a meeting of minds; in some instances, mindset might outweigh metrics. We will support the entire value chain to make an impact in many areas, from new forms of fast-moving consumer goods to the future of mobility.
Tomorrow's procurement will be about people, purpose and the planet - we have designed our system to handle and present softer values, such as peer reviews, all the way out to the bigger picture; "satellite" views of entire networks. Behind the scenes, our Knowledge Graph represents these incredibly complex interconnections while users can focus on tasks. Acting on a supplier should be like "connecting" on a social network, "one-click", and the world of supply & demand are connected seamlessly— a match made in data. While we love the transparency and gamification of social graphs, we also respect the need for privacy - our Virtual Procurement Network concept ensures strictly managed users and roles and strictly secure proprietary data and service integrations.

The Scoutbee AI-driven Platform supports a full spectrum of procurement and transformation from small-scale artisan agriculture to large-scale global manufacturing. We hold tens of millions of unique, accurate, enriched records - a global supplier federated database; expressed as intuitive Supplier Profiles. The burden to maintain impeccable profiles doesn't just lie with suppliers - we embrace co-creation and ML to support continuous updating. Our methodology is simple but effective; decisions, not dashboards. Informed choices leverage actual and comparable facts & figures, such as sustainability, diversity, innovation and risk. Future integrations are made possible through our flexible architecture. Our applications enable rapid, relevant search and deep insights across millions of suppliers. Our platform embraces push and pull of data via various channels. Save time. Save money. Save the planet. In other words: better data, better decisions, better world.
Over the last few years, we've established Scoutbee as the world leader in procurement intelligence, yet we are just getting started. Together, we will impact how people live, work, eat, and love, from premature babies fighting for their existence to octogenarians using their first on-demand electric vehicle. We will fearlessly forge ahead to a more sustainable, inclusive, and purpose-driven future. And we openly invite like-minded brands, manufacturers, institutions and collaborators to join us on this incredible journey.
