Forestreet vs Scoutbee

Forestreet is vendor and market discovery software for procurement professionals mapping suppliers across categories and geographies. Natural-language searches find suppliers by capability and location, with global supplier coverage listed. RapidReview lets users inspect suggested vendors’ websites within the platform, and results adapt to their review choices. Company and product details can include size, revenue, capability, and location. For supplier comparisons, its AI proposes a capability framework that users can edit without a stated limit. The ESG feature analyzes related articles across 26 risk areas for public and private companies. Forestreet also searches and indexes news sources to surface market stories, sentiment, and analysis. Users can export research data as a market report. The product is available through web and API access; API documentation describes connecting a market to an internal system with an API hook or integrating Forestreet into internal applications using an iFrame. Forestreet technology powers Beroe’s Supplier Discovery module within Beroe Live.ai. Founded in 2017, the company is headquartered in London, UK. The site directs prospective customers to request a demo and does not state a price. The demo page lists [email protected] as a contact email.

Scoutbee is an AI-powered procurement marketplace and supplier network connecting buyers and suppliers. Buyers can use deep search, invite suppliers into candidate pools, and prequalify them with RFI questions and data requests. Its sourcing workflow also supports project postings and anonymous supplier messaging. Suppliers can find 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. The current product is Scoutbee with AI Global Supplier Search; Scoutbee Discovery has been discontinued. A free supplier profile supports discovery and buyer connections, and a free trial provides a limited version of the services for evaluation. Paid access varies by package, with pricing offered on the platform. Scoutbee Premium is billed annually and lists lead alerts, automated outreach, preferred visibility, and access to buyer applications and brand networks. Scoutbee states that buyer input and AI output are not used to train its AI models, though AI functions may have usage caps. Its listed platforms are API and web.
