E2open Named a Leader in the Nucleus Research Supply Chain Planning Technology Value Matrix 2022

Research cites e2open’s integrated partner network and continuous innovation in supply chain planning capabilities to deliver end-user value

AUSTIN, Texas – March 21, 2022E2open Parent Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ETWO), a leading network-based provider of a cloud-based, mission-critical, end-to-end supply chain management platform, has been named a leader in the Supply Chain Planning Technology Value Matrix 2022, published by Nucleus Research. Nucleus has named e2open a leader in supply chain planning for the third year in a row, again distinguished as the vendor with the strongest functionality.

The research evaluates supply chain planning vendors based on the value delivered to customers through software functionality and usability. The Nucleus Supply Chain Planning Value Matrix report is designed to help evaluate vendor short lists and choose the solution that delivers the greatest return for a customer’s environment. e2open’s end-to-end supply chain planning solution helps manufacturers connect demand with supply, planning with execution, and partners both upstream and downstream. Utilizing advanced technologies, multi-enterprise data, analytics, and an efficient user experience on a single platform, the intelligent application provides clients with planning accuracy and the ability to sense and respond to disruptions of any size.

According to the Value Matrix report, supply shortages, labor shortages, geopolitical disruptions, and demand fluctuations still plague global supply chains. Organizations require technology to prepare for these unforeseen disruptions. As a result, Supply Chain Planning solutions take center stage as businesses seek to drive efficiencies and impart greater resilience throughout their supply chain processes.

“Companies are experiencing disruption at an unprecedented scale and their dependencies upon global downstream and upstream partners has never been more evident,” said Pawan Joshi, e2open’s executive vice president of product management and strategy. “e2open transcends traditional planning and equips our clients – many of the top brands in the world – with intelligent, critical planning and sensing capabilities spanning their multi-tier ecosystems, to make informed decisions quickly as conditions change throughout the global network. This is essential to reduce risk and enable a more resilient and agile supply chain. We’re pleased to again be recognized by Nucleus as a leader in supply chain planning. The supply chain network is rich with information, much of it with untapped potential for supply chain planning. With every release, e2open unlocks more value from that potential, leveraging advanced technologies like AI and machine learning to deliver improved business results and ongoing innovation.”

In its placement of e2open as a leader in the Supply Chain Planning Technology Value Matrix 2022, Nucleus highlights the following new capabilities from e2open:

  • New supply sensing analytics featuring predictive analytics, enabling organizations to assess short- and long-term inventory risks across their supply chain network.

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...
