E2open is named a Leader and recognized for strengths including:
- Probabilistic and deterministic forecasting
- Integrated multi-enterprise commerce network
- A broad-based set of tools across supply chain and focused planning solutions
- Field-proven AI/ML algorithms ready for deployment
The IDC MarketScape research states, “The supply chain, whether you are a manufacturer, retailer, or wholesaler, is a critical function for companies to realize their business aspirations. Issues faced by supply chains over the past five years of recurring global/regional disruption have reinforced that if the supply chain doesn’t work, the business doesn’t work. Indeed, modern supply chain capabilities can enable more efficient and effective business approaches to better handle challenges and disruptions and support new business models that translate directly to business performance that is tangible and measurable.”
Today’s supply chains are an intricate matrix of outsourced manufacturing and supply, channel and distribution partners, and third-party logistics providers. The traditional, siloed approach to planning exposes the brand owner to great operational risk and inhibits resiliency. Planning is more than forecasting demand and balancing supply; it is core and central to mitigating and proactively managing risk. E2open’s supply chain planning approach is forward-looking at what is likely to happen based on current realities and not solely reliant on historical patterns.
“E2open’s innovative approach to connected planning provides business value by bringing together every facet of the supply chain. It embraces connections not just within the enterprise, but also with a diverse range of upstream, downstream, and logistics partners to create a seamless end-to-end process,” said Pawan Joshi, chief strategy officer at e2open. “By leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation, e2open thoughtfully considers crucial factors like shifting channel demand, transportation availability, supplier capacity, and even global weather disruptions. This thorough evaluation empowers us to craft smarter plans that accurately reflect the dynamic landscape of the extended supply chain—then collaborate with ecosystem partners to refine and execute the plan. The result is seamless end-to-end orchestration from plan to fulfillment, which is agile, responsive, and resilient to today’s challenges and disruptions.”
