Case Study: Zebra achieves faster, strategic sourcing and unified intake with Scout RFP

Zebra Technologies Streamlines its Strategic Sourcing with Scout

Zebra Technologies, a 45‑year leader in tracking and visibility solutions serving over 95% of Fortune 500 companies with a global footprint of about 6,500 employees, needed a scalable sourcing solution. Its procurement team was hampered by manual, fragmented processes—face‑to‑face negotiations, emails, and disparate spreadsheets—and prior tools proved difficult to use and limited strategic sourcing capabilities.

After a successful pilot, Zebra implemented Scout’s cloud-based eSourcing platform along with its Pipeline and Intake modules to centralize requests, run RFx events, and collaborate with suppliers and stakeholders. The change delivered faster cycle times (shrinking timelines from months to days), improved forecasting and prioritization, higher stakeholder adoption, and greater capacity for strategic sourcing across the enterprise.
