Stay with manual checking when
The occasional search is enough.
- You search occasionally.
- You already know which official service to check.
- Direct verification is the main job.
- You do not need shared or repeatable monitoring.
Compare workflows
Official portals and Scout do different parts of the job.
Portals publish the evidence. Scout helps suppliers search repeatedly, understand buyers and keep useful work together.

Use Scout when
The work needs to repeat.
- You monitor several markets or named buyers.
- Buyer history matters before qualification.
- You want reusable searches and one daily digest.
- Several people need the notes, tags and exports.
The important distinction
Scout does not replace the evidence layer.
- Official evidence
- The portal publishes the notice and remains authoritative.
- Working context
- Scout adds search, buyer history and account memory around that evidence.
- Verification
- Scout keeps identifiers and the route back to the official notice.
The practical test
Try Scout on a search you already repeat.
If the saved search, buyer context and daily view save useful time, keep them. Scout is permanently free, so the comparison does not depend on a trial deadline.
