Frequently Asked Questions

What is Scoutbee?

Scoutbee was co-created with Fortune 500 companies like Walmart and Unilever to give suppliers better access to real business opportunities. Our network-based marketplace makes it easier to identify and connect with companies actively searching for new partners—helping you build strong, strategic relationships when the timing is right.

How does Scoutbee help brands?

Scoutbee enables procurement teams to proactively discover and engage with high-quality, pre-vetted suppliers across product lines and geographies—well before disruption hits. Our platform leverages rich supplier profiles and real-time search behavior to surface the best-fit partners for your specific needs. Built-in tools simplify early engagement and eliminate the inefficiencies of cold outreach, helping your team build a more agile, resilient supply base with fewer delays and greater strategic visibility.

How does Scoutbee compare to other solutions like SAP Ariba, Coupa, or HICX?

Scoutbee focuses on helping buyers and suppliers connect—kickstarting new relationships and surfacing fresh opportunities. Once a buyer chooses a supplier for a specific opportunity, day-to-day operations often move to platforms like HICX or Ariba for ongoing relationship management.

If you're already a supplier to one of our partner brands, keeping your profile active on Scoutbee still offers key advantages:
1. Save time – Maintain your supplier information in one central place, rather than updating it across multiple systems.
2. Discover new opportunities – Stay visible to other leading global companies and tap into new sourcing opportunities through the platform.
