Scoutbee, a leading AI-powered supplier intelligence and discovery platform, announced that Scoutbee Discovery is now an SAP endorsed app, available for online purchase on SAP Store. SAP endorsed apps are a category of solutions from SAP’s partner ecosystem that help customers become best-run, intelligent enterprises. Endorsed apps are meant to deliver value with desired outcomes.

“Ecosystem innovations are essential to SAP’s vision and delivery of the intelligent enterprise for SAP customers”

“Resilience, cost reduction, operational efficiency, and responsible business practices are at the top of many procurement teams’ agenda this year. AI is an invaluable technology for helping companies find the best suppliers to optimize their supply base to achieve those objectives,” said Gregor Stühler, Scoutbee CEO and Co-founder. “Scoutbee Discovery reaching SAP endorsed app status highlights our commitment to empower companies’ procurement teams with the right tools to drive forward what matters most to their business. We are thrilled to expand our partnership with SAP and look forward to co-innovating on AI to drive value for more companies.”

SAP endorsed apps are premium certified by SAP with added security, in-depth testing and measurements against benchmark results.

Scoutbee’s AI-driven supplier discovery capabilities empower companies to rapidly and effortlessly identify qualified suppliers that meet specific criteria and advance strategic business imperatives such as risk management, nearshoring strategies, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) initiatives, and more. Companies running a sourcing event in SAP Ariba Sourcing can quickly pull in new suppliers from Scoutbee that meet key cost, risk, sustainability, and diversity criteria and add those suppliers directly into the sourcing event.

Scoutbee’s SAP endorsed app status expands on its partnership with SAP, which integrated Scoutbee Discovery’s capabilities with SAP Ariba Sourcing.

“Ecosystem innovations are essential to SAP’s vision and delivery of the intelligent enterprise for SAP customers,” said Darryl Gray, Global Vice President, Software Partner Solution Monetization and Success at SAP. “We applaud Scoutbee on achieving SAP endorsed app status for Scoutbee Discovery. Partners like Scoutbee are positioned to help us deliver a cloud-first strategy with integrated innovations, proven to provide value while solving key business challenges.”

The Scoutbee Discovery solution is available for digital discovery and purchase at SAP Store, the digital marketplace for solutions from SAP and its partners. SAP Store provides customers with real-time access to more than 2,300 innovative solutions from SAP, as well as partner solutions that complement and extend their SAP applications, enabling digital transformation of their business.

During the SAP Spend Connect Virtual Innovation Day on February 22, 2024, Scoutbee will join a panel discussion to discuss the possibilities of AI in the realm of procurement and spend management. The discussion will be streamed live from Waldorf, Germany.
