New strategic investors Workday Ventures and Salesforce Ventures also participated in the round. In addition to the investment, Alex Niehenke from Scale Venture Partners will join Scout’s board of directors.  

Scout’s sourcing and supplier engagement platform is designed to help procurement teams simplify processes, optimize contracts, and increase enterprise profitability. The platform hosts 100,000 users across 117 countries, including 175 global enterprise customers such as Beam Suntory, Conagra, Gilead, VMware, Starbucks, and Zebra Technologies.
