E2open Charitable Giving Campaign: Water For People

6 min Read

As part of our mission to improve the world around us, e2open participates in corporate-wide charitable giving campaigns. We believe in the power of collaboration to make a real difference, and we are proud to provide our employees with the resources to support these efforts. Our recent campaign for Water For People was a great opportunity for us to harness our collective power to this end. 

Water For People is an organization whose goal is to work with communities, local governments, entrepreneurs, and other nongovernmental organizations to reach “everyone, forever” with safe water and sanitation services. This means every family, clinic, and school has safe and reliable water and sanitation, no matter how difficult they are to reach.

We chose this charity for several reasons, including its global reach, alignment with our values, and ESG betterment initiatives (more information can be found in e2open’s 2023 ESG Report). Our campaign coincided with the 100th Annual Tree Lighting of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), which was dedicated to the theme of global giving to highlight the charitable efforts of their listed companies. A customer ornament was created featuring the e2open and Water For People logos, which was hung on trees at the entrance to the NYSE from December through the new year. We were also featured on the NYSE Global Giving Campaign website 

We are excited to share the accomplishments of our global teams and the impact we made as a company! Our fundraising drive was open to employees from November 1 through November 30, 2023. Not wanting to leave anyone out, even our remote teams also had an opportunity to get involved through e2unite, an Employee Resource Group (ERG) for remote e2open team members around the world.  

We reinforced our mission of Moving as One; e2open made a matching donation to team members’ contributions! Our collective donations will help impact the development of clean water, improved sanitation, and health and hygiene education in nine countries across Latin America, Africa, and India. 

Water For People directs donations to the greatest area of need throughout the countries where they are active, including Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Malawi, Peru, Rwanda, and Uganda. If you’d like to know more about Water For People and see a breakdown of how donations are used to help others, please visit Water For People’s Stories about Safe Water webpage. 

We are very proud of the contributions from our teams around the world, and we look forward to our next charitable giving campaign.

How to Improve On-Shelf Availability for CPG Brands

On-shelf or out-of-stock? For consumer package goods (CPG) brands, the answer depends on how well you read demand signals. Reliable on-shelf availability begins with collecting the right retail data: point-of-sale (POS), inventory levels, consumer shopping behaviors, and promotional activity –then transforming that raw information into actionable insights. The challenge: retail data frequency, formats, hierarchies and points of access vary. The sheer volume of data from multiple retailers, mismatched SKUs, and manual processes can cause delays, a lot of noise, and a risk of errors. That leaves forecasts built on guesswork, not the most current reality. The fallout? Stockouts, overstocks, missed sales, and a drop in on-shelf availability. What if you could bring that disparate, robust data together in a harmonized, strategic way for an apples-to-apples view across all sources? When you use clean, accurate demand data, you can dramatically improve forecasting and planning ...

Mastering the Complexity of Make-to-Order Supply Chains

Make-to-Order (MTO) businesses are some of the most complex, and most fascinating, supply chains to work with. Every customer order is a new project—often with customized specifications, tight timelines, and dependencies that span multiple suppliers and production facilities. Unlike Make-to-Stock (MTS) operations, where products are built in anticipation of demand, MTO businesses commit to customers before they design the solution, procure components, and begin production. The moment an order is booked, the clock starts ticking, and every part of the supply chain must respond in perfect coordination. It’s like walking a tightrope where any misstep ripples through to the end result. What makes this even harder is the fragmented nature of business functions and systems. Supplier procurement might happen in one tool, production planning in another, and fulfillment tracked elsewhere. The result is predictable: delays, misalignment, and a constant scramble to react instead of p...
