1. Multilingual Content, Single-Language Search

  • What’s New: Type your requirement in plain English—even if supplier pages are in French, Japanese, or Arabic. ScoutPro auto-translates and normalizes non-English content behind the scenes.
  • Why It Matters: Cross-border sourcing becomes seamless—no more hunting for local keywords or mistranslated terms.

2. Smarter Search for Product-Specific Attributes

  • What’s New: Tap into Veridion’s full product-data extraction engine. Now you can filter by granular attributes:
    • Materials: e.g. “Silicone rubber component manufacturers for medical devices”
    • Form: e.g. “Citric acid—crystalline or granular”
    • Color: e.g. “Fluorescent labels for warehouse ops”
    • Purity: e.g. “Silicon wafers >99.99% purity”
    • Applicability: e.g. “Fire-resistant cables for infrastructure”
    • Served Industries: e.g. “Precision parts for aerospace”
    • Supplier Capabilities: Certifications, turnkey manufacturing, D&I credentials, etc.
  • Why It Matters: Source by functional fit, not just product names—ideal for complex, regulated, or highly specialized sourcing.

3. Improved Understanding of User Queries

  • What’s New: Upgraded NLP preserves your domain context—no more over-generalized interpretations when you tweak your prompt.
  • Why It Matters: Get consistent, accurate results each time you refine or rephrase your sourcing need.

4. Better Relevance through Smarter Ranking

  • What’s New: Our updated algorithm weighs:
    • Core Product Focus: Prioritizes suppliers whose portfolios center on your searched item.
    • Title Match Optimization: Filters out generic or misplaced mentions.
    • Supplier Scale: Surfaces larger, established suppliers when relevance is equal.
  • Example: A search for “adhesives, tapes and labels for fulfillment in the U.S.” will now highlight top-tier, high-volume providers.
  • Why It Matters: Spend less time sifting through false positives and more time engaging qualified suppliers.

5. Enhanced Product Page Content Aggregation

  • What’s New: Consolidated views merge scattered product details (features, specs, use cases) from multiple pages into a unified profile.
  • Why It Matters: Access a complete product snapshot at a glance—accelerating confident decision-making.

6. Smarter Product Matching with UNSPSC Classification

  • What’s New: ScoutPro leverages UNSPSC codes to statistically infer precise product categories for your query.
  • Why It Matters: Broad or variably-phrased searches are automatically aligned with the correct product classification—boosting accuracy and structure.
