The IDC MarketScape report highlights multi-enterprise supply chain commerce networks as critical for current and future supply chain performance. Multi-enterprise supply chain commerce networks are defined as platforms that facilitate the exchange of information among disparate parties pertaining to supply chain. These networks are instrumental to connect and create shared value between internal and external parties across multiple tiers and ecosystems to collaboratively resolve issues, address disruptions, mitigate risk, and identify new growth opportunities. The IDC MarketScape assessment is designed as a starting point to provide manufacturers,distributors,and retailers with a shortlist of qualified vendors. 

“In today’s fast-paced, highly analytical supply chain, the use of networks to facilitate commerce and collaboration can mean the difference between meeting supply chain performance goals and not meeting goals,” said Simon Ellis, program vice president at IDC. “The challenge of an outsourced supply chain is that the ability to communicate in real-time and have acceptable levels of visibility both upstream and downstream has become increasingly problematic. IDC has observed for some years now the potentially transformative role of cloud-based networks on the ways in which supply chains will operate in the future.”

“We are honored by the IDC MarketScape’s recognition of e2open as a Leader in the multi-enterprise supply chain commerce network,” said Pawan Joshi, executive vice president of product management and strategy at e2open. “E2open’s goal is to connect the world’s industrial capacity and provide a more efficient and sustainable way to manage today’s complex, end-to-end supply chains. Our network platform is unique because it encompasses all functional areas of supply chain management, with the breadth to connect all tiers of partners across all ecosystems for all industries as well as depth to drive holistic decision-making processes across these tiers. Efficient and cost-effective digital transformation depends on connecting business processes between any and all partners – simply connecting one part of the supply chain is no longer sufficient for sustainable competitive differentiation.

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...
