E2open Recent Developments

In December 2023, E2open unveiled its fourth-quarter product update for the year. In a landscape where ongoing complexities often disrupt the equilibrium between supply and demand, as well as the flow of goods, E2open's latest technological release offers companies an enhanced level of visibility. This heightened visibility empowers organizations to anticipate challenges proactively and respond promptly with effective execution. The platform's enhancements provide E2open clients with the tools to save time and costs by enabling more accurate forecasting, facilitating faster cross-border compliance, minimizing manual errors, and reducing waste. Highlights of e2open’s 23.4 update include:

Intelligent cost and risk management: Companies managing supply and production inventory levels can now produce scenario simulations to determine the outcome of a proposed forecast adjustment or commitment before it is made. With this more accurate preview, clients can avoid shortages and overages, which saves resources.

Efficient connected logistics and compliance: From a connected dashboard, logistics teams have a single view of shipment details, import compliance status, and estimated landed cost calculations, with the ability to act on compliance review and resolution, all in one place.

Faster, safer cross-border trade compliance: As customs agencies in the U.S., U.K., and European Union lead modernization efforts to enhance trade facilitation, ensure compliance with trade rules, and protect national and economic security, the speed of cross-border declarations is changing. E2open keeps in lockstep with these efforts by maintaining updates to its customs filing capabilities for the U.S. 21st Century Customs Framework (21CCF), the United Kingdom Customs Declaration System, Germany ATLAS, Netherlands AES, Italy NCTS, and the EU’s ICS2 Import Control System. Clients save time and costs with faster, safer cross-border commerce.

Improved accuracy and reduced waste with electronic trade documentation: With this release, shippers can view and take action on electronic bills of lading submitted on e2open’s ocean booking platform, improving efficiency, accuracy, and margins. Containerized shipment documentation is often bulky, easily reaching 50 pages of paper. The manual bill of lading accounts for up to one-third of total trade documentation costs.

Sustainability tools: E2open’s total landed cost calculation tools for global trade compliance now support the new EU non-reusable plastic packaging tax, emphasizing the importance of waste reduction while ensuring tariff due diligence. Similarly, road transport providers can gather information about estimated potential CO2 emissions savings for container land moves to use as key decision-making considerations to reduce their carbon footprint.

E2open Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Activities

In March 2022, E2open completed the acquisition of Logistyx Technologies, a prominent figure in the realm of global parcel and e-commerce shipping and fulfillment technology. This strategic union fortifies E2open's global presence in multi-carrier e-commerce shipment management, providing organizations with a comprehensive suite of shipping capabilities essential for scaling operations and meeting the evolving demands of the market.

In September 2021 E2open has acquired BluJay Solutions, a leading cloud-based, logistics execution platform. Creates leading, independent SaaS-based supply chain platform spanning supply chain planning and execution: The acquisition of BluJay materially expands E2open’s supply chain execution capabilities and expands E2open’s network participants by nearly 25 percent, most specifically in transportation and logistics. Additionally, BluJay brings a highly complementary global trade management platform that encompasses customs declaration and filing to E2open’s strong capabilities in compliance and tariffs. The acquisition further adds key direct-to-consumer offerings including the last mile, parcel, and dropship commerce.

E2open Market Opportunities, M&A and Geo Expansions

E2open operates within the burgeoning SCM (Supply Chain Management) software industry, which boasts a total addressable market (TAM) exceeding $54 billion across North America and Europe. This presents lucrative growth prospects for the company, particularly through the expansion of its current client portfolio. E2open foresees sustained growth in this market, with over 85% of the TAM representing untapped opportunities for modern SCM solutions. Currently, numerous companies rely on outdated legacy on-premise applications or internally developed, spreadsheet-based solutions.

E2open Risks and Challenges

The primary challenge for E2open is the lack of awareness among enterprise buyers of the proven technology and expertise that can orchestrate their end-to-end supply chain, including across external partners, both on the demand and supply side. This shows up more in certain industries than in others, based on the maturity of supply chain processes. Without this awareness, many companies anchor their thought processes around ERP systems, which unfortunately are enterprise-centric, siloed, and cannot go beyond one tier of supplier and customer.

E2open Ecosystem, Partners, Resellers and SI

Businesses worldwide are harnessing the capabilities of E2open and its extensive partner network to foster collaboration, revolutionize their operations, and influence the trajectory of global commerce. Notable partners include Accenture, Tata Consultancy Services, KPMG, Genpact, IBM, and various others.
