🚀 Quick Start with ScoutPro

Welcome to your hands-on guide for running your first supplier search in ScoutPro. In just a few minutes, you’ll go from logging in to exporting a shortlist of qualified suppliers—all without writing a single line of code.

1. Access & Authentication

  • Get Your Magic Link: Ask your Veridion admin or sales rep to grant you ScoutPro access.
  • Log In: Check your email for the one-time magic link, click it, and enter the code. You’re in!

2. Create a New Project

  • Click + New Project in the top-left corner.
  • Name it something memorable (e.g. Fire-Resistant Cable Sourcing or EU Cabinet Sheet Mfrs).

3. Enter Your Natural-Language Query

  • In the Discover Companies search bar, type exactly what you need. Examples:
    • “fire-resistant cables for infrastructure”
    • “LFP battery management systems for off-highway vehicles”
  • Hit Generate Filters—ScoutPro’s AI will translate your phrase into precise JSON filter blocks.

ScoutPro replaces the old, manual sourcing grind—where you’d spend 2–4 hours hunting through Google results and stale spreadsheets—with an AI-powered workflow that delivers fresh, weekly-refreshed, procurement-specific data in under 10 minutes. Here’s how you gain back your day:

  • 90 % Time Savings: From query to shortlist in minutes instead of hours.
  • Fresh Data, Always: Weekly crawls of 800 billion pages mean you never rely on outdated contact lists or legacy databases again.
  • Precision Targeting: Pre-indexed product attributes and supplier capabilities ensure you see the right manufacturers (not random service providers).
  • Built for Procurement: Filters like industry tags, NAICS codes, and ESG scores are tuned to sourcing use cases—no more generic Boolean gymnastics in Google.
  • Actionable Shortlists: Export CSVs of qualified suppliers immediately, so you can move straight to outreach and negotiations.
