Scoutbee is an AI-powered procurement marketplace and supplier network connecting buyers and suppliers. Buyers can search for suppliers, invite candidates into pools, and prequalify them with RFI questions and data requests. Sourcing workflows include project postings and anonymous supplier messaging. Suppliers can discover high-fit leads, receive match alerts, automate personalized LinkedIn or email outreach, and seek preferred visibility in buyer search results. Scoutbee says it serves direct and indirect goods and services across categories and geographies. Its primary product is now Scoutbee, featuring AI Global Supplier Search; Scoutbee Discovery has been discontinued. A free supplier profile supports supplier discovery and buyer connections, while a limited free trial is available for evaluation. Paid access varies by package, with pricing offered on the platform. Supplier Premium is billed annually and lists lead alerts, automated outreach, preferred visibility, and access to exclusive buyer applications and brand networks.
