Company Wins Accolades as It Celebrates Fifth Annual Customer Advisory Board Meeting

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Scout RFP, a Workday company and leading cloud-based platform for strategic sourcing and supplier engagement, today announced new recognitions from prominent industry analysts and organizations. The Company was designated a Key Solution Provider in 2020 by Ardent Partners and named a finalist by the 2020 SaaS Awards program for its strengths in project management, workflow automation and productivity improvement.

The Key Solution Provider distinction is an inaugural award from Ardent, a research and advisory firm focused on advancing supply management strategy, processes, and technologies. The recognition highlights Scout, as a provider believed to be well-positioned to make a big impact in the supply management market this decade. Additionally, the fifth annual SaaS Awards, which recognize excellence and innovation in software solutions, shortlisted Scout in two categories: Best SaaS for Improved Productivity and Best SaaS for Project Management, Workflow Automation or PLM.

“As businesses face a changing world and new demands, strategic sourcing technology is becoming a critical connective tissue between procurement, finance, operations, and suppliers – helping fuel an agile business strategy, enhance cash-flow, and mitigate risk,” said Stan Garber, co-founder, Scout RFP. “We are honored to receive recognitions that validate not only the multifaceted strengths of our platform, but also the overarching customer-obsessed culture that informs its design. We look forward to helping more customers with automation acceleration through the capabilities of tech-enabled strategic sourcing.”

The recent round of distinctions come as Scout celebrates a new milestone: its fifth annual customer advisory board (CAB) meeting. Every year, the Company convenes a number of customers for candid discussions about sourcing challenges, priorities and best practices, with participating companies sharing insights, learnings and more. Today, the CAB continues to serve as a basis for driving technology development and initiatives. 2020 participants include 24 Fortune companies and global industry leaders across financial services, technology, healthcare, energy and more.
