Scoutbee Discovery Now an SAP Endorsed App Available on SAP® Store

Scoutbee, a leading AI-powered supplier intelligence and discovery platform, announced today 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.

“Resilience, cost reduction, operational efficiency, and responsible business practices are at the top of many procurement teams’ agenda this year.

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.”

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.
