Both you and your partners benefit from the exchange: better forecasts lead to better service, less inventory and lower costs.

Difficulties resolving brand owner and partner discrepancies
Collaborating with more than a few customers is complex and labor-intensive
Better visibility into partners’ planned orders helps brand owners create more accurate demand plans and improve service without requiring large inventory buffers. Yet communicating essential information is often difficult. It might work with a few partners but fail to scale across large numbers. Monitoring forecasts and resolving discrepancies between brand owner and partner forecasts can be very labor-intensive and quickly overwhelm a process run by spreadsheets and email. Integrating disparate manufacturer and partner systems and harmonizing data is also another challenge.

Gain the power and flexibility to efficiently collaborate across large numbers of customers. Process automation, exception management, and performance management analytics are e2open’s keys to accomplishing this at scale.
