I’m Focused on Logistics Visibility. How Can E2open Help Me?
Are these some of the issues you're tackling today?
- Lack of visibility into material movement across logistics nodes
- Inability to track shipping in real time
- Lack of automated exception management—manual identification and resolution of issues
Where is my shipment?
The current trend towards outsourcing means that more logistics partners are required to transport materials and finished goods across the supply chain. Nevertheless, most companies today still lack connectivity to their logistics partners—meaning that they do not have visibility to inventory movements or the capacity to communicate changes to in-transit logistics carriers.
Without the ability to collaborate and exchange information, companies have no way to proactively address unexpected supply chain disruptions or shifts in demand (for example, to reroute an in-transit shipment to a retailer experiencing higher demand than forecasted). Your enterprise is also unable to monitor logistics partner performance, including indicators such as on-time delivery, transit lead time, etc.
The net results? Unpredictable lead times, poor delivery performance, missed revenue opportunities, and unwanted inventory buffers at numerous control points across the logistics network.
