About E2open
E2open is the connected supply chain software platform that enables the world’s largest companies to transform the way they make, move, and sell goods and services. With the broadest cloud-native global platform purpose-built for modern supply chains, e2open’s network connects more than 400,000 manufacturing, logistics, channel, and distribution partners and tracks over 12 billion transactions annually. The company’s SaaS platform anticipates disruptions and opportunities to help clients improve efficiency, reduce waste, and operate sustainably and profitably.
Application Suites
Spanning the end-to-end supply chain, e2open’s five suites of purpose-built applications are enabled by artificial intelligence (AI):
Channel management: The e2open Channel application suite enhances collaboration across all downstream channels for improved performance and profitability. This includes driving demand based on decision-grade data, using incentive programs and marketing support to engage channel partners, leveraging AI to increase revenue, and paying partners faster and more accurately.
Demand and supply chain planning: The e2open Planning application suite helps you address market volatility with powerful sensing and planning capabilities for both demand and supply. Solutions for multi-enterprise inventory optimization (MEIO), distribution planning, sales and operations planning (S&OP), and prioritizing commitments made to customers make planning even easier.
Global trade: The e2open Global Trade application suite helps accelerate cross-border trade while minimizing the risk of non-compliance. The world's most comprehensive global trade content database provides highly accurate data on regulatory controls, restricted parties, classifications, and landed costs. Automation helps you efficiently leverage trade agreements and duty savings programs to lower the overall cost of goods. With automated due diligence screening and electronic customs filing capabilities, you can confidently export and import in full compliance.
Logistics and transportation: The e2open Logistics application suite empowers you to easily plan, book, execute, track, and settle shipments for all regions, all transport modes—road, ocean, rail, air—and all shipment types, including container, truckload, less than truckload (LTL), and parcel. You can forecast your transportation needs, automate planning, routing, and vehicle loading, and even manage carrier payments. E2open’s vast global carrier network and best-in-class applications help you improve operations and lower freight spend. Both a proven transportation management system (TMS) and an advanced parcel shipping solution are offered for efficient shipping.
Supply and manufacturing: The e2open Supply application suite enables efficient collaboration with suppliers and manufacturers across every supply chain tier, helping you remove silos, gain multi-tier visibility, and minimize manual effort through automation. You can leverage economies of scale, streamline direct sourcing and procurement, improve quality for both internal and external manufacturing, set up audit-ready einvoicing workflows, establish supply availability, and lower supply risk.
Partner Network
E2open’s scalable, multi-enterprise cloud-based network empowers you to connect all trading partners and logistics providers across all tiers and ecosystems through easy onboarding and re-usable connections. Called e2net, this one network spans all downstream channel partners, upstream supply partners, logistics partners for moving goods, and global trade partners for crossing borders.

Pros
The speed at which a screening result can be produced. The e-mail feature for any Red Flags has been very beneficial as well.
Cons
The user experience could be improved upon, however the recent Trade Automation release is an improvement.

E2Open Review
The on-boarding and enablement team is the only highlight of the software. Otherwise, not worth your money or time!
Pros
It was more cost effective, but you absolutely get what you pay for. And for our 3rd party partners, the ability for us to not see their lead activity is huge!
Cons
This software is beyond archaic. Everything is manual and seems it came out of the early days of coding from the email templates to syndication to even faulty reporting!
