apsolut and Scoutbee announce partnership

Bielefeld & Würzburg, 15 February 2023

The consulting firm apsolut, which recently received an award from SAP as top performing SME partner of the year 2022 in the area of ‘Intelligent Spend & Business Network’ in the Middle & Eastern Europe region, and the experts in AI-supported supplier data from Scoutbee will be collaborating more closely in future.

apsolut has unparalleled experience in the implementation of SAP-based procurement systems. Scoutbee offers a platform for AI-controlled supplier identification and data harmonisation. For companies that manage their procurement based on SAP S/4HANA, SAP Ariba or SAP SRM, the partnership will open up new possibilities for even faster supplier sourcing.

“With Scoutbee, we are expanding the potential procurement ecosystem that we can implement for our customers,” explains Klaus Bernzen, Senior Partner at apsolut. “We are convinced that the most successful procurement system of the future will be a hybrid ecosystem that combines a stable core with innovative and intelligent new tools.”

Alex Diebald, Vice President of Business Development at Scoutbee, adds: “With our open technical approach concerning the SAP.iO program and apsolut’s in-depth know-how regarding the integration of third-party solutions into SAP landscapes, this partnership represents potential added value for practically all complex procurement organisations.”

apsolut and Scoutbee are currently realising a joint project for a tier 1 automotive supplier. And further projects for customers from the consumer products, healthcare, discrete manufacturing and automotive sectors are already in the planning stage.
